I know and that is probably the case because it is now running like watery fecal matter.

It seems sluggish and my mileage has gone down some.

I have always used Shell gas but Speedway bought out my local one. We now have 2 Speedways a 1/8 of a mile apart....literally.

So now I am trying to find a "Brand" and stick to it.

I have 2'' spacers from Ebay, and they are lugcentric I guess since I know they aren't hubcentric. 4, 2'' spacers for $135? I was like, HELL YA!!! Since I really wanted to keep the Ravines

great hood!!!! i've always wondered if something blew under the hood, then would everything spray onto the windshield, i'd love to do what you did but i want to have it vent to the sides, sort of curved "V" out from front to back.... man i love this forum it really gets the ideas flowing

I've seen the same UPS van go to two different stores... that means I can buy shoes at Starbuck's, right?! And Champion Labs makes both FRAM and Mobil1 oil filters - clearly some sort of scam.

Unless the fuel comes out of the same compartment you have no way of knowing if it's the same. The same trailer could have 93 Octane ethanol blend in the front and colored diesel in the back. Just like FedEx the local contractor fills their truck with cargo for their customers and organizes things for the most efficient route. Even if the original fuel is the same, different brands have their own additive packages in terms of stabilizers, detergents, ethanol, antifreeze, etc. which may be mixed at a depot, in the delivery truck, or in the ground tank at the station.

I cut and folded the rear quarters the other day, so today I pressure washed the under carriage (mostly just the rear) and then finished under coating it, sense I already used 5 cans and that got me to the rear axle, last week, took 2 extra can to do the rear under carriage and axle.

My driver's door check (the piece that makes your door go POP! POP! when you open and close it) decided to crack. It made my door get stuck wide open. I was not able to close my door until I removed the door check. But now my door wants to close on my feet when I'm getting in. I want a new part, but they're $70! I really don't want a used one since they can wear out.

Your best bet is to trash em. But since you want that aggravating thing, go to the jy. You can probably get one for very cheap.

Default Not today, but...

Over the past week or so - got rid of the stickers on the back that were sun-deteriorating and added these...




... added a tag ring that I've had since high school



Then, my upper DS door hinge decided to finally break loose from the frame so I thought, "alright, time to go doorless"

TORX sockets from AZ...



=FAIL

Kinda sad how they broke on the 2nd bolt. So I returned them to AZ where I got them.

I know I'll probably catch flack for it, but I like HF's tools... and I saw a lot of good customer reviews for their TORX set... so I went and bout a set today before work.

We'll see how they perform tomorrow.
