Simple reminder - double and triple check shit. Especially if you smoke large quantities of weed and are constantly interrupted lol

What I didn't tell you guys is my truck has an anti-theft device - the dumb ass working on it!
Somehow I forgot to tighten the lugs and lost a wheel. I can laugh about it now - only thing that got hurt was my pride, and a fender/door/wheel bearing.
Currently it has a spray painted fender on it and the door is messed up.
So steal at your own risk

I remember Brad!
Steve - he had a 05 2500? that he towed his enclosed trailer and Grand National in. It's the one they plucked from in front of his house.

That year of GMC is easily stolen. Ask me how I know.

I  used the cheapass fuel filters from the local parts store and had zero issues with them...and I swapped a new pump and filter in every spring before the race season fired up.

Those fuel lines connections can be a whore...they'll wanna spin the line. Spray the fuck out of them with WD-40 24 hours in advance...and use the proper line wrenches. If it wants to spin the line spray it with WD-40 and wait. This ain't your DD so take your time.

The turbo drain line is definitely leaking. That's my next hurdle to clear up. Smh. I switched over to studs which makes the job a little easier but the leak is still present. The drain hose I'm certain I can address.

If you're using a cool guy return line...don't. The stocker is ribbed for a reason. Patrick Rubio can tell you why. Jason may have return line gaskets.

That rust is gonna be everywhere. Swap in a new fuel filter. I'd pull the injectors and have them cleaned.
