    New to me truck/ what should i go through and look at

    Put it on a lift, or better yet. Jack it up, put it on jack stands, take the wheels off, and look at everything. Lie on your back on a creeper, have a couple cold ones, look at everything. Look at everything and learn stuff. If its greasy oily or dirty, clean it. If it leaks fix it. If it...

    Caulking In Bed

    When you talk about seam sealer and 3m it is like going to baskin robbins for ice cream. Their product range is huge and they have a flavor or two for every application. Read the labels and make sure you get the one for your usage. Eric

    Transtar 2k Epoxy Primer Problem

    I would give it 2 days in the sun for the " old college try " and then if it is still no joy, I would scrape some of the gummy $hit off the bed and go down to the shop and ask for some " splaining". Even in cold conditions that epoxy primer should have cured by now. Eric
