The throw out bearing on my pick up just starter making a clicking ticking [as in bomb] tapping noise when my foot is down on the pedal. Are these things grease-able? Is there a gypsy-joe method of quieting this down? I really have no desire to pull the transmission out... But if I do have...

Great picture. I think some of you fellas missed the part where I say the tank looked awesome inside. No rust or gunk I can see EXCEPT for what crap is floating around. [Just enough to make its way into the petcock and plug it partially. I've dealt with enough gas tanks to know as much as...
