Is that just you contributing to the mess? :D I have an adult daughter, two grand kids, and a dog that contribute as well. Sometimes it actually SCARES me what I find when I clean out the truck.

in the process of doing to oil pump and pickup tube. almost done, just gotta pull the old pump, put in new one, and put new il pan on. fill 'er up with oil and start 'er up.

the pickup tube screen is so clogged that it was sucking the screen in. cant wait to get this done!

EDIT: OIL PUMP IS NOW DONE! oil psi picks up so much quicker now, and climbs to almost 90. where-as before it wouldnt go past 60 when cold, and after warm up wouldnt go past 35-40. so happy this is done, and hope its the end of my problems!

Didn't do anything to the Ram today, helped the pop in law change out valve cover gasket's on his '88 RamCharger, cleaned them in & out and painted them. New Felpro gasket's too.

Fixed my gas gauge by installing a new furl pump, what hell that turned out to be, also got a chance to reorganize my toolbox, and got a new piece of chain with a J hook.

Picked up a tailgate net for $12 to see if it makes a difference in gas mileage

PS. If you go to change out your fuel pump the new aftermarket ones use a different style plug, so make sure you get the pigtail that changes the plug to match the one on your truck, I got lucky and was able to aquire one, after I had it all ready to go and realized the plugs did not fit.

I was told the nets and tailgates with a vent style system hurt your mileage... I always read that the factory tailgate creates an air "bubble" that flows air across the bed much like a bed cover in a sense. Just what I've read though..
