Anyways...I'll fix it when I can.

Oh, and Michelle rolled over to 222,088 miles in the driveway this morning.
And in response to this post, here's a pic of my new headlights, etc I bought to repair the issue.

Thanks.

I think they accomplish the look I wanted. I like the look of blackouts on a dark colored truck with chrome trim; but don't want the dismal light output. And I'm sure not gonna install/uninstall them every night.

So those are a good moot point in between.

I have more pics to post, just busy atm.

Michelle has hit 314k miles without the engine ever being opened up past a waterpump.


She's now fully on air ride and looking at going lower.

Michelle has hit 318k miles, and I'm tracking down whether the tick that's developed is a lifter/rocker arm or an electrical issue (spark plugs/wires)
