There was a time you could go on line and get a "Build Sheet" which included a list of specific parts used in the truck's construction. This was an internal document and listed code numbers and part numbers for scores of modules and components.
I have the window sticker from the truck, but am...
Back in High School days, we'd grab a manhole cover from some decrepit part of town to weight down the bed in the winter.
Got hit once and watching the iron disk levitating - in slow motion - at the rear window cured me of the practice.
Here in NY, I'd just buy the parts and fix it on my dollar. Otherwise, my insurance would increase by $3000/year for four years. State laws.
Good thing it's all bolt-on parts. Almost kind of clean, fun work on such a new truck. Just guessing, but maybe $2K in parts?

If I'm dropping the filter to change the screen, I drain them using a $6 plastic mason's mixing box (the tub for mixing concrete) from Home Depot. It's big enough to catch the drips and spills along any cross member or pipe. Then I pour the contents of the box into containers to measure what...
