    I've got a line on a set of 05/06 18" wheels/tires for 350 bucks. I'd like to get a taller rim on my truck (such as an 18") and I cant beat the price. My question is, is there a backspacing difference between my factory 2000 lariat rims, and these 18" 05/06 rims? Or are they a direct bolt on?

    So, I got recruited to help my buddy replace his glowplugs in his 97 PSD. Anything I should watch out for? I hear the valve cover is a !@!$@$ to get off on the right side? Special tools? Lots of beer? Im not doing this for a few more weeks, but may as well get an idea for it now.
