    Rear License Plate Mount?

    I have also used GOOGLE to find answers. Google m1009 license plate mount and about 8 titles pop up, most lead back to Steel Soldiers. I had to do this with a Gen 1 light issue I had a few weeks ago, seems a little faster than search, although I did use search for a few hours.

    Coolant loss and I'm at a loss to where it's going

    Remove head and have it pressure checked, if its cracked it will show up. If its good might as well have the valves and seats cleaned up. Just as a precaution might as well pull the other side and do the same.

    Lifter replacement

    I have replaced both my 6.2 heads , I just went out and checked one of my take outs and there is no way that all the lifters will pull out. Pulling the heads is not a bad job. Hardest part is pulling the injector lines.

    Parking garage vs Parking lot

    I have sprayed the bottom side with rust converter. All the rust, even the leaf springs turned black and no sign of rust after 3 months. The guy who recommended it sprayed his truck a year ago and no signs of rust.
