I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK UP A 6% PERCENT GRADE WHEN THE CHANGE FUEL FILTER SOON WARNING POPPED UP, ABOUT A MINUTE LATER THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWER, I KEPT DRIVING TO TRY AND GET OVER THE HILL SO I COULD MAKE IT TO A REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT.

THIS MORNING WHEN I GOT IN MY TRUCK, I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG HAD CRACKED OVERNIGHT. THE WEATHER HASN'T BEEN TOO HOT OR COLD. DAYS IN LOWER 90S AND LOWS IN UPPER 70S.
