Wheel care
Well if you just want to know a good way to keep em nice you can do what I do. Whenever I clean the truck I put some Armorall on the tires and make sure the wheels get a fair amount of overspray. Let it soak in while you detail the truck. Last thing is wipe the wheels down and follow with a bit...- btfarm

No Power steering or brakes - PS Tank overflowing
Drove it about 40 miles about 3/4 rural highway. Pump is whining some Added about 1/2 pint to get the level up. Brake rotors are all about 150 right after parking so I don't see any dragging issue. We'll see the next day or so.- btfarm

No Power steering or brakes - PS Tank overflowing
Got a new one and gave the system a good half gallon flush. Works great! I'm surprised at how much more brake pedal it has.- btfarm

No Power steering or brakes - PS Tank overflowing
I bought one from NAPA a few minutes before they closed. Swapped out the pulley and brackets ready to put in. Pulled the capplug off the reservoir and the damn thing was bent out of shape from somebody dropping it. End of story for today... I'll take the day off tomorrow, drive the wife to work...- btfarm

No Power steering or brakes - PS Tank overflowing
Fired it back up and gave it throttle and the PS worked some with it whining and the level went down some. Looking at a NAPA rem @t about $110 or AZ Duralast rem @ $88 I'm leaning NAPA- btfarm

Like the title. Fired truck up to back out and no PS or brake boost. Reservoir is overflowing when I pulled the cap. Failed pump?- btfarm

American Sniper
Saw it last Friday. There wasn't a peep in the theater when it was over. Not alot of dry eyes either. Caught the eye of several fellow veterans on the way out. We understood each other without having to say a word. One of the best movies I've ever seen.- btfarm

corroded glow plug removal
50-50 mix of acetone and atf as penetrant then straight on with a 6 pt deepwell worked for me at 150 k on the LH bank and at 200 k for the RH bank. With the heads off should be a piece of cake for you.- btfarm
