    oil light issues can you help?

    I'm afraid your engine is about to go south, I may be wrong, but I think the idiot light comes on when pressure in less than 5 psi? You'll have your answer as as soon as you get a mechanical gauge on it. Good luck!

    1028A3 Owners

    How many of you have trucks where the installers did not cut out the rear fender opening before installing the dually fenders on the bed? Mine were not cut out, and I just saw a pic of another SS members 1028A3 in the albums, and his were not cut out either. Thanks, Ed

    m1008 Paint issue

    Soap?, hot water?, if it's only oil, it should come off, don't scrub on it hard though, when I did this, it didn't take much to get down to the primer. . . oxidized southwest paint though.
