Went to Napa and got a case of Amsoil for my oil change, a wire harness adaptor for my trailer hitch, and Rain-Ex washer fluid! Lol. Oh yeah and I trailered around and moved a lawnmower, 4-wheeler, and a 3-wheeler too! Also got a new drop hitch, pin, ball and new Amsoil oil filter. (:

Well last week or so I bought a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 with a utility body. It has got 92,000 miles and I got it for $2800.

So today I did several things:
Complete detail of interior and all of the boxes on the body.
Stripped and painted the pindle hitch as well as the bumper.
Changed the oil and air filter.

The oil adapter worked well for you? I thought about getting some gauges for my truck and I had installed one of these plates before easy to install but i just wondered about our trucks if there was any space problems?

Yes that's the size we need, I put the trans temp sender in the front servo test port, it worked out good that way because I ran the wires for both senders across the firewall, under the rubber water seal and down the trans dip stick and both senders are right there about 6 to 8 " apart.

Dropped My truck off at a paint shop today to get the hood and roof redone.

I loosened the bolts on my front bumper and straightened it from where I hit a deer a few months ago. I can't believe it straightened as much as it did, looks dang near new. I decided to take the plastics off and paint them. The grey bottom will be red like the truck and I'm making the trim pieces black again.
