my truck hates rig roads

Man, that adds up to how many thousands of dollars?
Everytime I drive mine it seems to be getting faster, the tranny is tightening up, the brakes get firmer, electrical gremlins work their selves out, my turbo spools faster, I smoke more, and the paint gets shinier.
You see, you should have gotten one of these REAL, old, iron trucks...
(If they don't perform better with age, at least the exhaust leaks in the cab will lower your expectations.)

Bad luck I guess there Intake. Being from Ft. Nelson, I bet your truck sees them ugly roads more then its fair share. Having spent it seems all winter on the Chingahga, and willow roads, I know what your talking about.

there was a nice checkered crome toolbox/fuel tank one sitting on the floor at the place in grande prairie for a dodge for about 3200 or sometihng like that. i just put a tidy tank in then set all my tools below my rear seat so there not freezing cold when i grab them.
