Hi Steve, thanks for replying.

I looked on Amazon and couldn't really find one that had good reviews at the price you quoted. Wound up buying the one featured in a you tube on installing the fuel pump in a plastic tank, but the ring is the same for the metal tanks. $40, and I'll probably never use it again, but good insurance.

Where do you live that you're running 0/40? Alaska? That actually sounds about right for Colorado since we see extremes between -20 and 100F throughout the year. With 7500 mile oil change intervals I won't be changing the oil more than once a year, given I work from home, so 0/40 would cover the gamut. I'm going to pick up a filter from FCP when I place the order for a set of hubs next week or the week after. I've always run Castrol...it's even marked on the oil filler cap!

I sold my old metal ramps a couple of months ago mainly because they were taking up needed room in my garage after a reorg and I'd had the same problem with the 740 air dams. I've been "getting by" with a hydraulic jack and jack stands for years with no complaints. I understand where you're coming from, though.
