Evening everyone!!

Well.. here's the status of things ....

Anti-freeze leak -- fixed
Tranny fluid leak -- I think I found it. One of the cooler lines that connects to the radiator was so loose, it was sliding on and off the radiator. Tightened it up. We'll see.

Fixed my block heater as well!!! Now I can trust the thing to start in the morning when it gets REALLY cold this winter!

Tried to flush my power steering last night. I didn't get very far, but did manage to make a huge mess. Another good night at it and I'll be able to get it done no problems.

Tried to take the intake air box out to get to the PS pump. Coudln't get it out. Took the top off and gave me enough room. Trouble is the F***ing thing won't go back together now. The top screws just spin and spin and spin. Spent an hour screwing with it last night. Finally gave me a reason to order a NAPA 6637 filter and accessories required to put it in.

Morning everyone!!

Can't wait to pick up my new filter today and rip the stock air box out of the truck. Maybe even pick up some fuel mileage along the way ... we'll see.

I'll post a picture once it's in.

Funny story, but I see in HD now! LOL

I finally got glasses (I've needed them for a long time the doctor told me) and what a difference. I can see so much better so the TV looks even better to me now too!
Congrats on the new specks

Glad you got some issues taken care of. Have fun with that 6637. I like mine

Same here. I love it


18 MPG my ****. With a 10" lift and those giant tires and a Bully Dog chip?

My thoughts exactly.

Wish you were closer Michael, I'd give you my spare 6637 so you didn't have to pay Napa's highly inflated price for one.

Morning guys!

Hope all goes well today.

Hey Troy, I had to get a tow last night. Wife called and said the wheel feels like its gonna fall off, so I told her to pull over and I went to get her. There was one (1) lug nut left. The rest sheared off. Man I am having issue with vehicles and where was Triple T towing when I needed them?

I like the 08+ interiors. A little pale looking with the colors of the tan but oh well.
