    Don't assume anything is what I learned a long time ago. One reason why I stress in getting it checked right, with the right tests is not to have any surprises. Many are not so lucky to just get a truck and go, I think somewhere I read last month we are looking at a failure rate for owners (and O/Os) sits about 70%, and equipment failure is the second reason, mismanagement being the first.

    Made the trip like a new truck. It is road worthy, will pas d.o.t. insp now, I just want to have things my way. Like no caps, add a few lights, fix a few Rattle's, put new wipers on, just MSC stuff to make it how I want it. Take proportioning valve off. Change red lights to bright lights so I can see better.
