    After performing some basic winter-maintenance, Bruce Bonebrake installs a hitch-mounted snowplow on this GMC truck.

    This show features the installation of a snowplow that can be hand-operated without the use of expensive hydraulics or complicated mechanics. Before the plow is installed, however, some minor maintenance items aretaken care of on the truck. First, a burned out bulb is replaced. Then a TSB item on the truck -- the intermediate steering shaft -- is serviced. The throttle body is cleaned to correct a sticky accelerator. Finally, the snow plow in assembled, installed and tested.
