eaglescout526 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Nice! How does it perform for you? And how did you go about the wiring harness situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just spliced into the original wiring. Only had an issue with one of the panel light wires. The front knob backlights can be dimmed but not the display itself. Otherwise it works good.

eaglescout526 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Nice. Yeah theres a blue wire from the 141 that controls that but I'm pretty sure our trucks don't help control that. I tested it and it seemed to dim the VFD when the lights are on but its too dim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCARENA Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Replaced my inner front fender liners. Thanks to eaglescout526 for finding and getting me the new liners. My old ones just pretty much fell apart when I removed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCARENA Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 When I removed my flares, I got very lucky and only one stud broke off. Most of the nuts came off pretty hard. After I had them off I chased all the threads on the studs and nuts with a tap and die. Then I replaced the broken stud. Putting back together went smooth.

MJCARENA Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 Put a 4 cylinder coolant bottle in my truck. Wasn't to hard, just had to relocate a couple of items and extend some wires. Looks a lot better then the cheap aftermarket one I had over by where the pressure bottle normally goes. A thanks to eaglescout526 for getting me the parts.

MJCARENA Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 Finally got around to painting around my door windows black. Just trying to keep the Comanche Chief look. I also painted the side vents. Have to do my door handles, since they are faded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
