    They ever figure out what was up with your truck? Got mine back today and the valve cover gaskets seem to have stopped what little leaking there was. They changed the spark plugs too while they were at it, my baby runs like new.

    *EDIT
    Actually, I'm not exactly sure what it runs like new... I bought it with 220K... Nonetheless it runs good haha

    I guess I'll make a tank skid sometime to replace the only rust on my truck.

    Guessing u have a 4 banger? My 03 gets about 300 miles to a tank. Blue pearl, why drive with the ECT power on. That is probaly killing u too. No need for hwy driving. Only time i use it is pulling my boat or a load.

    For the auto, it raises the shift points for wheeling/towing. Just changes the Trans calibration while its activated

    It'd be a lot cheaper to just use POR-15 or KBS coatings. It really does what they say.

    Explored today. Got it muddy. Must say I'm pretty impressed with these BFG ATs. I hit some pretty sharp rocks today and they kept trucking. I'm sold.

    Yep! Got it back about an hour ago. Blew the CV shaft seal where it enters the diff. Not sure what caused it because it was very sudden. But whatever, it's fixed and now I can focus on ordering my lift :cool: They did say the rack bushings are bad, which I already knew. So I'll pick up those as well and get that done when I lift it.

    I've always wanted BFG T/A's, but they are just too expensive for me.

    If you were referring to my photos, yes! I think they are very good looking A/T's for the price

    I was. That tire place looks goofy without a lift in it, just jacks. Seems inefficient.
