Re: Fuel Gage Doesn't go down
Mine do sink but do not go to empty, they may lose a 1/4 tank at most.
Either way its a moot point as who cares what a gauge says when off. They are not suppose to work.

Re: Why is the manual transmission tow rating lower than the automatic?
The clutch is the biggest issue.
As long as you dont drag the clutch when you shift and dont slip it a lot you should be ok.

The 80's KC knockoffs dont look near as cool as the HIDs. I'm guessing your doing this for looks anyway based on the pic of your truck in the mall.
