Welcome to FTE and congrats on the new truck. Great group of people here who are always willing to help you out. Glad you got it fixed. They sure don't like running on 9 cylinders do they?

You can learn a lot in here, and save a lot of money. I wash my engine compartment at the quarter car wash but go gingerly around the cops and never had a problem......................welcome to the forum.

Welcome to fte.
We help you find ways to spend money too!
Luckily mostly on upgraded replacements, or preventative things which ultimately save you from an inconvenient common problem at the worse possible moment.


And we learn to fix stuff vs. Pay someone who frequently doesn't do a thorough job.. now when we do it wrong the first time, WE know what went wrong and DO it right the second (or sometimes third) time.
