Great!

That reminds me I have to change it on my truck. 😒

It is super easy man!

But hopefully that it is.

Sent an oil sample to Blackstone just out of curiosity, oil change at 236k on Saturday. Think I put 3,000 miles on it since my last one in September 2021.
My AFR sensor just died the other day. I am going to take it out of the y-pipe and see if I can use the torch on it to clean it but I think I will probably need a new one. I am willing to bet that bad gas fouled it. Speaking of bad gas there is a little more to that story, I'll post it on my other thread.

After over a year of sitting on my shelf I finally installed these today. The extended cab door gave me a little trouble but got it working. No pics of that

Chrome door handles? That’s the update? That’s worse than me updating about buying fuel line.

Finally found my water leak and it is the third brake light. Ordering a new gasket now.

Did a full wash, clay and seal. Still shines up nice.

Fixed my windshield tint after screwing it up a year ago. Going to install the gasket for the 3rd brake light tonight.

Finally got something done for once it seems.

Unfortunately my grandfather passed away this morning. He bought this truck from my dad sometime in the early 2000s and he kept it until 2016 when his dementia took away his ability to drive. The truck was passed to me then.

I don't have anything else to say as of right now. I was hoping this post was going to be cathartic but so far no.
