    fuel sender and gauge operation?

    Just wondering how the fuel gauge circuit worked. Ever since I sent my cluster off to have the psom reset my fuel gauge is goofy. Fill it up and it reads empty by 160 miles, but doesn't try to run out of fuel till about 330 miles. It is inaccurate to say the least. Does roughly the same...

    Cab and body mount replacement thoughts?

    I've messed with them before and know they can be a PITA, but my cab/bed misalignment has gone long enough. I would prefer rubber for its forgiveness, but poly is cheap in kits and rubber gives out, so I went to summit racing and found an energy suspension kit for 60.39 plus shipping, sounds...
