Hello everybody from sunny Saskat-chewan. I have a 2000 GMC C6500 topkick (former U-hauler) and I would like to lock my fuel tank (60 gal - gasoline | 7.4l V8) away from prying hoses. I'm going to drill and tap the cap, and put in an allen-key set screw but I'd prefer a regular keyed arrangement. Any comments on this topic, preferably with a locking cap solution? The only locking caps I see around have a male thread - my truck requires a cap with female threads. Thanks in advance, Keep On Truckin'!

  I miss the old school stuff. I have Xpel tent on every window in the truck. Sadly, FL heat said it didnt care. Granted, the system will still cool down the cab eventually. But man does it take a min. When you first get in you feel like youre the turkey on thanksgiving.

  7/4/2026 Maintenance Update I gave Jason a bit of a blank check (within reason). If you find something, fix it don't tell me about it (within reason). AC clutch crapped out. I've been hearing if for near a year and milked for all it was worth. Used unit going in. We'll see on the belt and tensioner. We have an understanding on what this truck is and what I'm willing yet to do. Added to the list I gave him. So far few surprises. Not much longer.

  I haven't been able to get on BITOG this week. Thinks I'm a robot and kicks me out. They have no idea how right they are.

  Yes, I thought so too. Cheaper & no moving parts. Actually makes it like the old 4L80E transmission. It's what I replaced my pill flip with

  This seems like an even better solution than doing the pill flip. I like it!
