Ive known that. I've had them on both cars I've owned. I'm going to see about getting either a) a new oil filter assembly, or b) both new senders, and try to mount the after market sender somewhere other than on the stock sender.

you have never lived in the country i presume? half the roads in Floyd are dirt, and most of them are being worked on during the summer.


and yes, you can get tires to squeal on a dirt road. i have laid plenty of blackmarks on dirt roads in my time. a real loamy road will pack down and be as hard as cement, and you can do one hella burnout on it
