Yes advice as to what to watch for before I drive it. Not advice as to weather to do it or not or worrying about other people's services to the truck my heart was set on it I made the thread set on it I didn't ask for any advice on if I should do it or not I wasn't wrong in why I made the post.- jaydubb350
