Within 50 miles? I'd be more concerned with how close I was to a fuel station - injectors don't like it when you run out of fuel.

I'm going to go look now. I just got in from seeing my brother, they transfered him to a hospital early this morning but he's doing real good. He's actually happy since he got to see his favorite tv show "I love lucy".

Thank you.

So you were pretty close Steve. 654 on a tank, I'm going to go fill up later today when I go out again. I'm still tired from yesterday. I was all over the place yesterday. Driving and working didn't get back until after 10pm.

Easiest is to just remove the instrument panel and THAT's the hard part!

If you know what you're doing, it takes about 45 minutes. If not, maybe a whole day. Depends....

We ARE talking about a 1999-2005 SuperDuty, aren't we?

Yeah, I ddn't think about it but I could have done that while I replaced that broken am fm radio that was in there. I'll have to do that again I think, was just hoping for some pointers if there are any.
