The truck needs a lot of work.
Before I put it on the road I will get all the little stuff just right.
Right know I just use the 4L to pull posts, pull my 2wd out of the mud, etc.

I have been told that WD40 works as a starting fluid. Never tried it. Have any of you?

If you are at home and have a heater gun, i would recommend that one by far, and it works better/faster than ether. Definitely safer too. Just shoot the hot air into the intake and "houston we have ignition!"
