    Filter head rebuild.

    Been having loss of prime. Thought is was a clogged filter but I have developed a leak on the filter head. Was wondering if the rebuild kit would fix this leak or if I need to source a new filter head. The leak is out of the priming plunger.

    Fuel temp sensor

    Got a P1081 today saying that the fuel temp sensor wasn't working. I checked to make sure it was still plugged in and checked the wires and all looked good. Went ahead and ordered a new one. Just wondering what would cause it to fail?

    Best truck cap for the money?

    I am looking for a truck cap. I really don't want to spend the 1k plus on a Leer since it will only be on the truck when I take trips. Use it to keep my dog in and luggage dry. Just want something cheap but not crappy. Any suggestions on good alternatives is appreciated.
