    Cleaned all the dust out of the cluster I noticed the fuel guage needle is the only one that wont return to "zero" which leads me to believe the problem lies within the cluster. Anyone know if that is correct? I'd rather not replace the sending unit if the problem lies within the cluster. Thx in...

    Just changed my fuel filter, how bad was the old?

    Looked pretty nasty IMO, 238k on the truck, bought it in July 2019 with 232k and noticed my mileage was nowhere near what PO said (18mpg) I was getting 12-15... so changed this bad boy out the other day. Planning to make this a 10k every other oil change maintenance item.

    ATS downpipe?

    I got a local buyer for my ATS kit and we're realizing I don't have the downpipe that connects to the 90* bend off the hotside as pictured. We agreed to 550, after realizing the downpipe is missing I offered to let it go for 500. Are there any cost effective solutions for a downpipe with these?
