Right, Jason. I drive a truck and sometimes I may be home several days in a row and also may be gone for up to a week.

I have a TB spacer on my truck that I just bought a week ago, and i need to remove it to fit my K & N filter (plus from what i've read i dont need it) anything i need to know about removing it? any pointers?

a friend told me that if I remove it it could damage the gasket? not sure what he's talking about but I want to remove the TB spacer immediately and get my filter in...Thanks.

The truck is coming along nicely! I can't say that I am too fond of the wheel coating, it makes it look like your wheels are just covered in a ton of brake dust. Either way, good job.

Just go to Autozone, Advance, or where ever and get a new gasket first.

I like the wheel coating, it looks like the black chrome that is really cool. Why wouldn't you fill that small dent in on your driver door? I will keep up with this thread.

Should be able to polish them right up.
