Yeah, I'm starting to think so too, Mac. I sometimes suffer from needless
"capacity anxiety"...

That is definitely also on my wish list. After liberating my truck from CA,
I pulled the air pump and all of the related components like the tubes that
made changing plugs a major feat of contortion with 4 separate adapter
setups... Anyway, so now I have space freed up for a steering pump. No doubt
I'll have more dumb questions for the list when I get around to that
project.       -John A.
