    The gas to diesel conversion is easy:

    Step 1: Put your tuck up on some jack stands.
    Step 2: Put the truck in neutral
    Step 3: Replace you Cabin Filter
    Step 4: Wash The car
    Step 5: Lower it off of jack stands
    Step 6: Find cliff at least 30' in the air.
    Step 7: Bring friend that is good at lying
    Step 8: Place Cell phones in glove box
    Step 9: Push truck off cliff. (Leave truck in park & ware gloves!)
    Step 10: Say "Like a good neighbor state farm is there"
    Step 11: Realize that doesn't work and walk to nearest phone (Yours is in the glove box)
    Step 12: Call actual insurance company and try to explain the breaks failed some how while you were walking around. Offer proof of no sabotage because you and your witness replaced the cabin filter and your cell phones were in it.
    Step 13: Get check for truck and put a down payment on a diesel.

    Their you go all done with a brand new diesel truck in 13 easy steps.

    You are welcome!;)

    two things......first, OP, to really fix this problem, you need a metric crescent wrench, when you get one, we can tell you where to go from there
