Depending on the truck, you may need a torch to expand the metal to get the cap off..they can be really stubborn to remove.

I used the wrong kinda grease. I was haulin wood one day and i was like WTF how much does this stuff wieght, the milage was going down the craper fast! Get home and back up through the woods(A 22' long truck is a pain in the a## to back up through there!!!), and all of a sudden the foot goes to the floor and i get outside and there are two pads sitting on the ground. That was a month and a half ago and just last week i fixed it. The line to that caliper was capped for a month lol. It worked. No offensence takin.

Haha, between the problems(which most where NOT caused by me lol), the mods that i do my own way because i think i can do it better(which has proven to be wrong), my random thoughts(that make no sense), and everything else it would easly hit 10 pages. My fuel pressure finding hit 4 pages.
Hell yeah i know where Ypsi is, my buddy went to eastern there. I dont remember much about it since i was out there partin and i ended up in Ann arbor that same night again i dont know how i got there. I remember how to get eastern, and how to get home and thats it. It about an hour and a half drive that i turned into an hour there and 2 hours back.
