Well the saga continues, the cap the the mechanic put on is gone, and so is
the left side ,
Replace both plugs and put clamps from parts store, I notice none of the
fuel hoses had clams either , HMMMMM
they did when I took the truck in !
anyone know what teh best calm and hose to use,
Manual shows clamps, but I need someething NOW ! cost of fuel is kind of
high to dump it on the road !
