    This happened the other day, but you gotta love living in a college town where random drunks fall into your truck. No clue who it was or when it happened, but I already filed a police report just incase for insurance. Should be able to pop it out with a plunger.

    I did this recently (and changed air filter as well) and didn't think it did anything at first, but then noticed I can go 330-340 miles between fillups, where before gas tank empties after 270-280 miles only. That's like 60 extra miles for every full tank of gas.

    Saved myself a few hundred dollars on my compass/thermometer by resoldering the board. Messy, but works!

    New radiator hoses, thermostat, coolant and new Bilstein 5100s in the rear. Nothing needed to be replaced but after 130,000 miles I’d rather do it today than at 2:00am in freezing cold

    Yeah but it's the only funnel you'll ever need! Keep buying your pathetic $1 harbor freight funnels while we wait for the truck to come around and replace our funnels

    I know the all-black is the thing now, but I can't help it...I really like the white letter look. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I don't care. Mine are facing out as well.
