it sounded laike a rock rollong back and forth as I tilted it....I set it aside to get back on the cab
til later...Well, when I am not working on the truck
before bedtime I read on the gas tank that the manufacturer put like a large ball-bearing in the tank for some reason which I have forgotten about..
It was either in the repair manuel, or it was in
the Pickup N Panels magazine, and also the tame of the stovebolt club I was in, then bellied up...
So anyway I left the ball-bearing in the tank yet....Anybody else know of this ???
