My SU's are still in place after over a year with those sticky glue dots they supplied that I always saw everyone complaining about!?

Fyi
The can of WD40 says it can loosen rusted bolts. It's all I had and I wanted to try it first cause I am a cheap ass and didn't want to buy a $3 can of something else. Actually the cost would double because of the gas to get there.
Speaking of which I've been driving much slower and improved my mileage by at least 2 mpg. (about a $4 savings now per tank) However, to compensate, I don't slow down for onramps.(drive)(drive)

I think I'm actually going to use a dot of glue to do mine.
*sigh* do what you want then. We can only attempt to steer you in a direction that will be successful. I've used WD-40, I've used PB blaster and I've used Liquid Wrench. PB and LW are head, shoulders and nutsack above WD-40 for getting bolts loose.
Yup, that'll do it! And... you're saying you used to slow for onramps? Why?

Maybe roughen up the backside where your going to glue with some 80grit.
My DaveB rings were polished, i brushed em with red scotchbright pad. I also roughed the back up so glue would hold.
Anyways, got the gauge pod installed. It's a little loose, cause it's just a sheet of metal, but, i think once the gauges are in it'll stiffed some.

Actually today I'm going to go out and get PB plaster or LW and give that a try.
I used to slow down a little on ramps, but now i just keep the cruise on and hope there aren't any deer or raccoons.

Same here even with a fullset of SU solid mounts to try and shake them off! So far they haven't fallen off yet with only 3 dots per ring. lol

I dont know how high gas prices where you are but I average 45 bucks for a full tank of gas so its a little over 2 tanks for me! Yes that was filling up yesterday so its not like thats what i cost for over a week ago. I do agree that sounds a little inflated or under inflated depening on how you look at it.
Only explaation would be that someone paid for his gas one way.

Thanks everyone
I went out and purchased some PB blaster and sprayed the crap out of it. After at least 5 soakings, and about an hour of cranking on it, it finally budged. It was easy after that. Now look at her. She is all happy and ready to go play in the rain. (you can almost see a smile) (cabpatch) (blackp5)
Thanks again for all of your suggestions.
