The speedo rolled over, so I guess I now have a new truck..... Replaced the passenger side UCA, ball joint, bushings and knuckle. Got it aligned. Drove pretty good before, now drives even better.

Horns are good! I don't use mine often but when I do I want to be heard. I have a 130db boat horn on my VTX and Redtruck. Farmtruck is original I think and it is as loud as the boat horns. :favorites13:

Replaced the air filter cone with a bit of home made stuff. Used a 91 OEM filter and OEM air box cover with 3-1/2" ducting with ducting insulation.

Nice! Where's it pulling from?

It has a snorkel picking up air just behind the bumper.

Developed a fuel leak from the wtr in fuel sensor. Cycled it a couple times and it stops, but has come back. I replaced the filter with another without the sensor. All fixed. I'll just change the fuel filter when I do oil changes so shouldn't be a problem I would think...

shouldn't have to change the fuel filter that often. i think i was told every other oil change it is a good idea to change the fuel filter and to just possibly drain any water at the oil change inbetween

Do you think the water would just pour out if turned upside down?

doesn't the filter without the WIF sensor have a drain in the bottom? i just figure you open the drain and let water out an then your good.

The filter I have doesn't have anything on the bottom, smooth like a oil filter...

ok. i am not sure then. was it cheap? maybe it was just meant to be changed often. might be worth while to compare prices on the ones with the drain compared to the one you bought.

It is a hasting and under $10, I might look for a filter with a drain just to see what it looks like.

Bought a couple stainless nuts and bolts for the exhaust coupler. I have the sneaking suspicion that they won't fit, but I may be wrong.

Changed out a bad O2s on the wife's ride and picked up a engine oil priming pressure tank for my Redtruck.
