    Probably not that well relative to A/C systems in cars just a couple decades newer...

    One thing I dislike about BJ’s is that you can only pull in one way...

    Regular is down to $1.79 per gallon though!

    That pump would work well with my car as it's on the passenger side.

    Ohio doesn’t tax out the ass on gas like PA does...

    Yeah they just added something like another 12 cents tax to Ohio too so PA must be stupid high.

    Part of the deal on increasing our gas taxes was being able to ditch the front license plates.

    And you were actually able to do that? If I ever have to move to Ohio, it would be nice to know that I don't have to deface my front bumper...

    We know that all 1st and 2nd Gens are built in California, and that the engines and transmissions are also built in America; The shitty frames were built in California too. I can't help but wonder how many parts in our trucks come from China, though...

    Yes, I was not happy about the increased price at the pump but it is worth it to not have to have those stupid front plates, really need to take a look at my car and figure out how to cover the holes in the bumper.

    That's one thing I like about Pennsylvania!

    My old supervisor's 2010 DCSB came from a dealer in New Jersey, so it has holes with little black filler plugs in the front bumper; He was going to buy a TRD Sport from Sloane, but they had a minor accident with the one he wanted before he could buy it, and they brought in the TRD OR he ended up buying from a dealer in Jersey...

    When I bought my 2015 it was a dealer trade with one in Illinois and it already had holes drilled but I used those plugs and made my own no drill holder. I hope the paint isn't faded on the car as that big plate holder has been riveted on for almost 30 years.

    Why'd you get rid of the 2015?

    Changed the oil and rotated the tires finally, they look pretty damn good after 15k of hard miles.
