the new radio in last night. Pictures will come later this weekend. Still just so amazed at how much better the truck is after the timing job! It almost like a new engine! More responsive, no rough idle, no diesel knock, and best of all better MPG!

Thats awesome Stephen! What was your total parts and labor cost if you dont mind me asking? What all did you have replaced. Ive probably asked you this all before.......

Had 2 packages waiting for me when I got home. First was Sylvania ZEVO 3157 red LED taillight bulbs, just installed them. They sure make the light transmitted very red! In the other package was a used centercap that I bought because I lost a faux lugnut, so now I have 5 spares. Took one faux lugnut off and installed that onto my existing centercap and then I put my change holder back where my oil pressure gauge was. I had to add material to the coin holder since I had to dremel out the hole, but you cant tell. Overall very happy with all this. Just waiting now on my running board and it will be back to 100%!

BTW I bought some Penetrol from lowes today. $10 a quart. Might get around to throwing some on this weekend.

I had a mysterious ghost put a 2 foot long scratch on my passenger running board a year ago. I touched it up, but it really needs a repaint to look perfect. No kids are owning up to doing it.......
Please let me know how the Penetrol works. What are you degreasing/prepping with?

I'd guess you are going to use the penetrol on your plastics?
I'd like to know how it turns out. It is a really good product and I've used it many times (along with it's water based counterpart flotrol) but never for plastic restoration although I am aware that it has been used for this purpose.
I've used it several times to bring back the shine on bass boats that were faded and the gel coat almost gone with absolutely amazing results. It also lasted way beyond what I had anticipated.
The stuff has lots of uses that most are unaware of. Post some pics if you get a chance of the before and after and update if it lasts and meets your expectations if in fact your intent is to use it on faded plastic.
Good luck and I hope it works well for you!
