Ok, modifications for the day on the truck. I am a big believer in filtration. Air and oil filtration are right at the top of the list. If you want to understand the value and importance of filtration and how it can help I suggest you pop over to the BobistheOilGuy forums and get an education in oil, additives, and filters. So on the filter front I added my Amsoil air filter to the truck today. I don't expect a fuel economy change, but I do expect go get better filtration and a reusable filter that I won't have to toss into a land fill for a very very long time.
Second mod I completed today was a safety issue. When I purchased the truck recently it had a bad seat belt receiver for the drivers seat. The housing was cracked and apparently there was a wiring issue. The seat belt alarm continued to go off even when it was fastened. So I finally got the part, and some massive torx bits to remove the old one and I managed to get that replaced. Mechanics should be called contortionists... I don't know how they do what they do all day... Getting your hands into these small spaces and cutting the tar out of your hands fishing wires into spaces that hands shouldn't be isn't much fun! The good news is that I got it replaced and it now works properly in my initial test in the driveway.
And that is all I have for mods today... :-)
