Looks good in that shot. Colors, background and angle. Looks better than usual actually. Just wait til it gets that mirror enhancement. It'll even be beautiful then.

I was thinking the same thing. Always love to see pics of your truck. There aren't enough round eyes in that kind of shape.

^ Installed a bug shield to cover up the spider cracks I can't buff out of the leading edge of the hood.

I got my crew cab back from my brother finally. I drove it to work today, then when I got home I worked on it too. I replaced the collector bolts and installed a new brass line for the oil pressure gauge.

In engine.. Do you mean the piston top soak and the smoke/fog show? Or in the crankcase? I don't do the sucking into the piston tops and let it soak. I just do half can in the crankcase about 500 miles before an oil change, and the other half in the fuel tank of 18-20 gallons. The stuff does work great. I use it about 25,000-30,000 miles in the crankcase and about every 10,000 in he fuel tank.

Yea I did the piston soak, and I did the fuel additive. I need to try again on the piston soak because I don't think I got enough evenly distributed in the engine. I put a full can in with the fuel and I think thats been helping more than anything. I'll be trying the oil additive next oil change too, I've heard good things.

Replaced all the seals, gaskets, and bushings for the tail housing on my transmission when I installed my new speedometer drive gear and then replaced all the u-joints in the driveshaft. Just have to clean off a few things and then reinstall the driveshaft so I can get the truck back out on the road. :cheers:
