Mechanic I am.......not....well maybe...

Did the first real work on my truck this passed weekend. Time to rotate the tires. Not a big deal to most. But hey.. I got to play and get my hands dirty....

So first I borrowed a couple of jacks and jack stands from my good friend CBS.

Then off to pull the truck into the garage and get this thing moving. Only problem is the jacks weren't tall enough to lift my truck off the ground. So I got to brake out the jack that came with the truck and break in it. So after getting that jack out, it was a breeze to lift the truck up, push the stands under, and swap each side out. I went ahead and did front to back and vice versa.

Seemed to go well. Got the lugs snug and away we go.

On Wednesday I got my Lite Rider Roll-Up Cover for the truck. Looks good and I think I'm gonna like it. I got it from Pickups Plus. One of the techs asked me if I wanted anymore performance for the truck that I could buy a SCT computer for only $300. More power and MPG. Well for $300, I'll take my chances for now. I mean hey, I just spent a couple hundred $$$ for a cover that should get me maybe 1 mpg.... So that will take me a while to pay for itself..... Course I didn't buy it to get better mpg, that is just a good benefit. But time will tell if it actually works of not. I think it will give me some.....
