here's a young rookie mistake for you guys to laugh at
Well I've been working on upgrading my dash and gauges the past week. I have bought the white face gauges that stick over the factory, and I've bought the red LEDs to replace factory bulbs and I bought a new black bezel with chrome around it. Well I had everything pulled out of the truck and decided I would drive it to town without the dash or gauges or anything in it. BIG mistake. I hit the first block by my house and I feel something wet dripping down on my foot and shoe. I look down, and oil is pumping out into my floor like someone cut a main artery. Holy crap, I was too dumb to realize the oil pressure line would be pumping oil out on me!!! lol...needless to say i reversed it and high tailed it back to the house. man i felt stupid

Re: here's a young rookie mistake for you guys to laugh at
Don't feel bad I drove about 50 miles from Gulfport, MS on my way to New Orleans before i realized that my foot was so hot in my 71 swb 4x4. I bet I cleaned up about 3 quarts of oil off my foot and floorboard at the local Shell station with the washer squeegee and then I dunked it back into the washer bucket and then I thought I grabbed the clean one to wash my windows...Boy I was so Wrong! Anyways It happens to lots of us.

I've done it on accident once, luckily I caught it right before the oil found it's way through the line.
