That's what most people have to do to get a paycheck just to get by. Apparantly you get paid to be on here and still get paid enough that you 1) don't have to actually work and 2) still buy expensive toys. I guess that's the perks of living on Sesame Street.

Allison uses a castrol oil specifically, or the same stuff you got for yours. Any diesel oil is fine.

SO I am looking for some opinions.When it comes to an air tank would you get a steel or an aluminum. I know the aluminum won't rust but what else is the difference between them?

Well Tom aluminum is lighter so your truck will go faster and you can polish it to look like chrome!
