1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Wires looked new when I got the truck.

I haven't addressed the fuel filter though, which looks factory.

I'll knock it out next week along with my rear brake line finally.

 

yeah the fuel filter isn't a bad idea, supposed to be a "lifetime" part or whatever but it's easy to change out on the v6 and good peace of mind

 

It’s gone now?

 

this, mine gets done every 20k or so


the HF flare nut wrenches are nice so you don't have to worry about rounding off the fuel lines BTW

 

This dude at the bagel shop I'm in is weirdly desparate.

Since I've sat down to eat, he's called several different people, guys for the most part based on him leaving a voicemail, telling them all it's been awhile and that they should get together for lunch etc.

I guess it's different with gay guys; I'd just tell a girl "hey, I'm thinking of you, come over"

 

I feel you, I do the same...problem is those "deals" usually cost me more time/money than if I had just ponied up in the first place

 

A lot of people keep telling me good things about HFs higher end of wrenches.

I've got a complete second tool kit for my truck, that lives in my truck, but it wouldn't hurt to add a few more items.

 

get out normie reeeee e

 

Is that the V6? That's good mpg. I know people shrug off mpg in a truck yada yada, BUT mpg can be a good indicator of how well an engine is running. If this is the V6 and that is your normal mpg, not a fluke tank, I wouldn't feel there is anything that needs addressing as preventative maintenance

 

Deal

 

my plugs after 39k

 

New radiator cap, oil fill and fuel cap gaskets.
Lube rear brake bell cranks.

 

i would be interested and very curious to see what the inside of that filter looks like if it has over 200k on it
remember to hacksaw it open for us!

 

mine are all original still in that department

 

Cheap to replace. The oil fill cap gasket dries out from heat.

 

I have a lot of HF wrenches and sockets and they are great quality compared to the price. Are they the best? no

 

i just heard those HF wrenches (yesterday) have much to be desired about them!

 

caved and finally ordered this set. it has been long overdue

do you need a whole new cap with gasket or is it separate?
