What did you do to your truck today!

Oooh, oooh, let me.

Open the driver's side door on the truck. Climb in facing the windshield.
Adjust the seat and mirrors, if needed. Maybe the tilt steering wheel.

Push the odo button, if you have one, until it reads "0". If you don't, and you probably won't, make a mental
note of the fourth digit from the right on the milage counter (odometer). You'll need that later.

Insert key in the big round thing under the ashtray (to the left of the heater/air conditioning controls). Turn the key to the right.
But only for long enough so that you can hear the engine start. If you let go, the truck will keep running.

Look up. Look left. Look right. Look in the rear and side view mirrors. If you have an auto trans like mine, the gear selector is on the steering column.
Select the appropriate gear. If you are backing out of a driveway...In fact, if anything is in front of you that's pretty close, choose "R". But before you do that,
check to see if the emergency brake is on...Put your foot on the foot brake. Keep it there while you release the e-brake. Keep it there while you 1) select the
proper gear..."D" usually works pretty well... and, 2) Look up. Look left. Look right. Look in the rear and side view mirrors. Again.

Signal if you're into that. Assuming an auto trans, release the foot brake and, at the same time, use the same foot (right) to lightly (if that's the way you want to start out)
press on the big rectangular foot pedal that's all the way to the right (on the floor).

If you have a standard trans, column or floor shifter, someone else will have to chime in.

Then, drive around until that fourth digit from the right adds up to one more number than when you started. If it was a "9" when you started, you'll be looking for a "0".

Another good tip is to check for gas. I mean, check to make sure there's gas *in the truck*. DAMHIK to do this....just make sure. And, oh, you can't always rely on that
big gage on the right side of the dash. Sometimes it reads Full when it's really "Empty". Just a bad joke that is sometimes played on 67-72m truck owners.
Don't know who started it.....





Hope you have a sense of humor...No disrespect intended...Just in a joking mood tonight...
