    Voltmeter bulb

    Be sure to disconnect your batteries BEFORE you take your dash apart. Bad things can happen when loose "hot" wires come into contact with things they shouldn't. It happend to me and made my already problematic electrical system worse.

    What were the squirrels stashing under your intake manifold?

    My first oh-nine had the left overs of some kind of ( mice and or rats ) nest in the back seat. Great big clumps of ghost terds, nut shells and a few candy wrapers.

    How accurate is your fuel gauge?

    whaaaaaAAAAATTTTTTTT?!?!?!?!?!:shock: Lucky..... I found out last night that when we installed the sending unit, we must have cut and or tore the o-ring. I went to fill it up, it didnt "gurgle" when it was full. I gave the truck a good shake, and I could see fuel coming from the top, right...
