Found out a few things

So apparently having my dad drive my truck for a day wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. he got home and told me that my left side motor mount was bad no bout about that, and that my rear brakes needed adjusting because the brake pedal goes past the level of the gas pedal and that aint suppose to be like that. Haha i was worried that he was gonna come home and tell me that i've been driving it wrong and stuff and get after me. Everything that he told me i had an idea that it was bad but he just confirmed it. and as a side note i found out i need new doorseals, i was wondering where all my heat was going lol.

Sorry for the long post but i thought it was funny.
Kyle

Door seals are easy. Just clean the old gunk off real good before you try and glue the new pieces in. Get stock rubber mounts; a "performance" mount is only going to make it more uncomfortable.
