    Tilt wheel swap

    That's basically what I need to do. My 88 needs a steering column to get drug out to the weeds. Both are manuals so it should be easy. Does the dash need to come apart at all?

    Fuel mileage

    I was reading somewhere about a guy that claimed to be getting high 20s to low 30s fuel mileage on a t 19 with 6.9. I have 3.55s and the best I've ever got was 21! What would you jave to do to male insane mileage like that?

    How tough are the gvs for towing? Considering a unit but tow often on steep mountain roads with heavy loads. Do they hold up?

    They seem newer they're bb codes on a 6.9. Didn't the 6.9's have different stock injectors?

    Block heater woes

    Hi all, new member bit I've uses this site as a resource for a long time. Y'all are great. Was reseating my block heater and due to previous owner mistakes lost the spring and other latch piece inside. If I can't fish them out will they hurt anything?
