Somethings not right. I tried to turn my truck in to a truck that uses water instead of gas to be more eco friendly, I filled up with water today and it died on me. Was I suppose to use salt water? One of my friends said put a kool-aid packet in it and it will be fine. I just don't believe him.

Yeah he's wrong, you need cherry meo to fix that. But run it thought fast so you don't get busted for somebody thinking it is offroad diesel.

Make sure you use proper grease with those bearings. It has to be the high temperature stuff. Like brake grease. Otherwise you'll just burn it all off. Unless you already have a muffler intercooler. Then you should be good to go.

oh and for you wiring, strip the wire and put the + side of a magnet on the wire to get all the +'s out and vise versa for the -'s....if the magnet doesnt stick to the wire replace your wiring.

Something like that. Oh oh oh. I was also told that I needed to make sure to remove my lug nuts to save weight. Is that accurate? And while I was at it, I was also told to remove any other unnecessary parts like, the water and fuel pumps, brake pads/rotors/calipers, the steering wheel... stuff like that. I mean it's gotta shave off enough pounds so I can get up to 88 MPH and get back to 1985.

Right?
