    Gas grade - 87, 89, higher?

    Yet Another Tow Hitch Problem

    Paul, It looks like a 4" knee knocker without the ball plugged in. If going on a tow trip, bolting on and off again, should not be too hard. Roy

    Power Cable Run to the Rear

    Cable run to the rear-- I selected a 2 Ga. paired cable from POLAR WIRE PRODUCTS, 888 245-WIRE I often do overkill and find the hardest way to do things. The large cable makes routing more difficult. 4 Ga would have been just fine. I removed the foot well kick panel by pulling back the rubber...
