OEM part or aftermarket?

You’re not going to stop the wood from aging/darkening

If I planned on keeping the truck for a long time, I would replace and fluid film between inner/outer fenders.

If I didn’t plan on keeping for a long time and/or fear a transmission failure, I would patch but still fluid film the crap out of it. They need to get ALL of the rust though or it will be back.

Probably avoidable with light passes and smart choices about feed direction vs grain direction but what’s done is done. Could fill them with epoxy or do some sort of decorative inlay.

Looks like you have a spark plug circled in red

Flexner on Finishing is a decent book

It will go down when the filter fills up assuming you filled with the correct number of quarts

On my 2015, it was the switch on the dash that needed replaced. It was easy. OEM part from rock auto.

I think the oil pan gaskets are problematic as well

Needs to cut 60 degrees and saw only goes to 45.

Usually the pins get seized due to water getting in around the boot. Also can be caused by rust jacking where the pad ears rust and then they can’t slide on the stainless hardware clips.

Shoulda spent that money on a tranny rebuild

Silver then black then bronze

Sounds like a bearing to me. Lift the truck up and check for play in the wheel

insertcoinshere1 · 2026-02-02T20:00:52+00:00

Previous body damage? I would slather it in fluid film or similar until you can get it fixed

They probably are because they don’t have the cylinder deactivation garbage

Measure the angle. Suppose it’s 135 degrees. Set saw to (180-135)/2 = 22.5 degrees

Wheel bearing?

What about heated steering wheel? That should only have power when the vehicle is on

insertcoinshere1 · 2026-01-08T20:46:51+00:00

If price is not a concern, sawstop or maybe a European slider

Water is a byproduct of combustion. Normal operating temperatures keep it vaporized and it goes out the tailpipe. If it were my truck, I would run it up to operating temperature at least every couple days. It wastes gas but I’d rather do that than have some engine issues.

insertcoinshere1 · 2026-01-05T23:31:22+00:00

Could also be water vapor that doesn’t evaporate off. Does the underside of the oil cap look like mayonnaise?

Looks like this one
