    This has been my experience. I'm fully aware that I may have made some kind of critical error in prep, but I couldn't tell you what it might have been. Bottom line: it's brittle, and the roof skin might be the most temperature-swing sheet metal on the truck.

    I would suggest you take a good look at people's long-term experiences with POR15 before you use the product...

    I'm jealous. Very nice work.

    It occurred to me that I should make sure there is actually adequate exhaust clearance before I commit to primer on the cab... this blossomed into fabbing the turbo down pipe and exhaust system up to the muffler inlet.

    If you can figure this out for all models that use this module (GM stuff) and market it properly, you'd have a winner.

    Makes me even more glad I'm taking it down to bare metal.

    Now THAT'S a motto I could live by! I just checked, it was over 10yrs ago that I applied that POR15... I can live with that.

    I've heard similar regarding primer. But this is the OEM applied stuff, as far as I'm aware. Not what I expected to see

    I plan to sandblast in the areas that I cannot get at with a wire cup and such. I have a feeling it won't perform any miracles just because of how hard this stuff is.

    This is going to be a long process...

    I've become wary of any one-part product - it's 2k epoxy for me, going forward.

    The POR15 I applied a few years ago hasn't held up very well... The powerwasher and the air nozzle peeled off a bunch of the second coat and quite a few spots had rust penetration below the basecoat.

    Got the bed out of the way.

    Well said.

    Used some junk tube for mock coilovers to get it supporting its own weight. Oddly exciting.
  17. A-man930
    Same here.

    I decided to tackle a section of body work. Going to try and get the roof and cab down to just below the glass channels covered in epoxy. Impressively, I've discovered there has been rust forming below the factory basecoat... 🙄

    Wife's rig needed some new skins, so I get the leftovers:

    I finished my modified OE shifter last night complete with a fresh bushing and a new boot. I was hoping for a more drastic reduction in throw, but the stick is really long for now so I should probably withhold judgement until I trim / bend it once the dash and seats are back in.
  21. A-man930
    That B&M is no doubt superior in every way.
  22. A-man930
    I had already been chewing on the idea of modifying the stock shifter; this post pushed me over the edge!
  23. A-man930
    I'm currently replicating your homebrew short throw shifter. Thanks for sharing that.
  24. A-man930
    Interested to hear on this as well.

    Trying to tie up all the "engine installed" mockup items. The TDi radiator hose arrangement is awkward for most swaps. It is possible to flip the housing upside down (as I did), but it does create a clearance issue... good thing I'm beyond the point of caring about hacking away sheet metal 😁
