Ran the wires and stuck the pryo in place of the oil pressure gauge that I am not using yet. For all the guys that do not have a way to see what...

    Just a few questions now that I am on the road.

    First off, the truck is now legal to my name, tagged and insured. :D The truck came with 4 different wheels, so I swapped the tires and wheels off my 95. I'm heading to the alignment shop at 4:00 tomorrow with an average load in the bed and the trailer in tow. He tells me that he can do a...

    6.9 is missing and now knocking intermittently

    Ok guys, I've only been registered a few days and now I have a big question. I did a slight repair on the tilt pins in the column, and replaced the #1 and 8 GP. I got in a hurry to see if the two GP's was all that was wrong. BTW both plugs came out with only slight coaxing. I hit...
