You have a great start here young man! I agree keep this as your DD and find a 4x4 in a few years. As for learning to fix your own vehicle, we all start somewhere. Keep at it bit by bit

For your light issue, check the rear bed ground wire its in the driver side taillight opening IIRC as it grounds all the rear lights.

Just read your build thread, some very nice work and a lot of time invested. Excellent results and congrats on MJOTM!!

Dang... a little to far for a road trip :drool:

I'll keep adding grease to my u-joints as I have lost track of how many different joints I have found devoid of any grease in the crosses and just enough in the caps to hold the needle bearings. That goes for sealed or greasable joints. We'll all do things our own ways.

Whether you use Moog, Federal Mogul, Spicer or any other brand, take the caps off and give them a healthy dose of grease before installing. They are not packed with enough grease to just install as they are in the box. But YES definitely REPLACE the u-joints it is cheap insurance.

Thw ECM's have a built in 10% +/- fuel curve if I recall correctly. Factory compensation for dufferent altitudes.

Yes they are.

Excellent progress so far, look forward to seeing the outcome.

Was driving the Manche to work one morning and stopped at the light. On the green I proceeded throught the intersection, or tried to truck did not want to move but then caught and started going with a nice loud BANG CRUNCH and lotsa loud noises. Long story short had it towed home and pulled the tranny to find one of the ears of the torque convertor had broken off in the tranny. Yup time for a rebuild!

Nice job, they look really good!

I don't have any explanations, bu twould like to add to the thread. I am having a simlar issue with my gauge, from full to below half it reads fine then is unreliable below half. I found this out on the way home from work, gas light come onand 10 minutes later was on the side of the road out of gas!!! I know I have a solid 45 mins from when the light comes on until I am on fumes. (only did that once, two years ago)

:bowdown: :cheers:

LMFAO!!! That is just too funny

Just read the whole thread and awesome so far. Would love to do this with a good shortbox in a few years myself, with a homebuilt stroker and AX-15..... all future plans LOL :drool:

Excellent work, keep it up the truck is looking great!

Excellent work all along with this build, truck looks great! Love the flares and I still have my factory Turbines on mine although they were very bad so they are painted.

Nice starting platform, good progress so far and definitely pull up the carpet and check the floorboards!!

:agree: Awesome stuff guys! Keep the pics comin

That is awesome Britt!! We all would like to see more pics of the build process

:drool: :drool: Those are some sweet pics!! How much clearance was gainedand how much metal had to be cut out for those flares??

Clearing rubble out of my Bro-in-laws back yard to make room for the new Deck That load was 2280 lbs of jack hammered concrete dirt and gravel!! Definitely earned its keep that day, this was only the first of two loads.

Wow.............. :cheers: :thumbsup: That will be one sweet truck when done...nvrmind already is!
