As joshmopar stated, he changed my air filter. What he didn't mention was he also fixed my power steering pump's return line because it had a bad leak (haha apartment complex is gonna hate us when we leave cuz of the stains in our parking lot) and he removed the firewall type material that was attached to the hood of the truck cuz we think it was burning off onto the engine.
Yeah, when I bought my truck I had the dealer take mine off since it was hanging precariously close to the cooling fan....
Besides, I can hear what the engine is doing better anyway!
Gonna go hunting tonight and I'm taking this giant wire spool that my dad and I found in a dumpster over to my grandpa's house. I guess I'll get to see if it tries to blow out when we're going 90.

Well that nice weather came sooner then expected.. I could not pass up the high temps today (50)so I picked up some pads and shoes. I put the front pads on and I'll save the back for another day.

Got my 14x3 1/2 filter in the mail. Threw it on to see if it would fit. It does just fit but I need a new s bolt cause the other one don't even come out the lid now lol.
I like it! Greg has voiced some concerns on engine flex but I'll take my chances. This is the second one I've ordered I'm not ordering a 3rd unless I have to

Haven't even started it. I got broncitis so I'm not worried about it right now. I did notice the extra hassle with the old filter so I know what you mean
