But I plan on getting a stand alone gauge. Just for reference on how much fuel I truly have.
I was hoping I could just swap out the oem fuel gauge to one from a '97, but I may just go your route and get an aftermarket.

Filled 'em up with gas yesterday. A while ago I checked his fluids...added some "Slick 50" high mileage engine treatment and topped off with a lil' oil....filled the washer fluid and topped off the coolant/antifreeze. (I always keep some 50/50, and oil in the back.)

Debatin' on whether to add some of the transmission additive I bought a while back. It leaks a lil' and is sluggish goin' into third 'til it warms up...after it does...shifts fine. It's more of an issue in cooler weather. (Auto/Floor)

Broke the bumper caps off and bent the metal behind the bumper cover but hell I figure I was bound to back into a tree sooner or later anyway and it was a co-work to top it off that hit me
