Upgrade from oil burner to oil dumper...
On my way home from work I put one of my neighbor's calves back in (for the 2nd time that day) and temp. fixed the fence again. I stopped at the house to tell him. He asked if I had some time. I said, "Sure." We got in his truck and drove to the crime scene. He had me hand him his ".44 mangler"...- Brian VT

Brake lights, continue to not work?
You haven't given us much to go on as far as what you've checked so far. I assume you checked that the lamps are good. I assume you checked that the sockets are clean and making good contact with the lamps. There is a mechanical switch on your brake pedal. Check that it hasn't moved out of...- Brian VT

A have a few ugly injectors. Need help diagnosing appearance/causes.
I got a new set from Russ last year and they turned to rust within a month or so. It's really a bummer to look at them. They work fine but they look like hell.- Brian VT

6.9 sudden NO power and smoking
Gotcha. Thanks for taking the time to post that. I replaced my pump last year. I didn't know about that valve. And I don't know if a clean one came with my "new" pump or if I'm still running an old crusty one that I reconnected to the new pump. My truck is running fine but I'm wondering if I...- Brian VT

Tailgate latch help
I managed to get it open from the outside. Looks like an easy fix and replacements are cheap. If yours is feeling stiff give it some lube. ;-)- Brian VT

Tailgate latch help
I finally found a visual on what goes on in there. FFWD to 2:00 in the video. I may still have to trash my new tonneau cover to get in there but at least now I know what to try doing from the outside as a last-ditch effort.- Brian VT

Tailgate latch help

Tailgate latch help
The handle of my tailgate latch broke on the passenger side. It will still unlock the driver's side. I was shining a flashlight in the hole to try to find a way to unlock the passenger side with a screwdriver or something but I don't know what I'm looking at in there. Does any of you know what...- Brian VT
