Funny tool

So, I was removing my injector connector tubes and seemed to be having a hard time getting them to pop out. I was pulling and wiggling on them but they just were not budging. The threads were kind of eating at my fingers so I was looking around the garage for something to use. I looked at the size and pitch on the threads and it looked a little familiar. I found that my long chrome lug nuts for my aftermarket wheels screwed on nice and made a good handle to pull on. All of the tubes just popped out with just a little pull and wiggle. SPECIAL TOOLS! HA! Thought this was just worth sharing.

Rock crawler, I like your truck........what all are you doing to it besides inj. for upgrading hp?? How does your truck handle the power??

I'm adding some hp and I'm going to attempt to get it to hook instead of smoking the tires. See what happens........

I am actually in the process of doing almost everything in my signature. Truck has been down for almost a month. So, I have not had the chance to drive it yet. Should be ready in January. I am doing all of it myself (except tranny stuff) so it is taking a long time.
