    Film on inside of windshield

    Its from the plastic parts inside your vehicle. It emits a vapor that lands on the inside glass. The way to clean your inside glass is alcohol. Just your everyday liquid alcohol you pick up at the drug store or Walmart. Even alcohol wipes work great. Thats what I use, take a couple at a...

    Trailer brake module failure?

    Trans Fluid

    ATF Plus 4. I remember when this change was implemented by Mopar. Everyone balked at the idea of just one ATF. And mixing ATF, after years of being told never mix your fluids. But after seeing and using for years. Its the way to go. I have never heard or seen anything but good by making the...

    Won't start on gas

    Lift the bed, don't drop the tanks. With the bed off everything is right there, held in place easy to clean out. Use a cherry picker to lift the bed. Or do one side at a time.

    OK QUESTION for any one whose builta DODGE RAT ROD. Please read at least my 1st post .

    I think your making more work for yourself by cutting the body away and leaving the lower parts. The biggest differance your going to find is the older truck is much narrower that the donor truck. A plasma cutter is the tool for getting everything apart. I think it would be much easier to...
