It's at the beginning of this thread where I changed the camshaft and lifters. Also added the H&S Mini Maxx at the same time. That was in October of 2014.

Truck had 334,303 km (207,XXX miles) at that time.
No rockers?

No sir. I inspected them and they looked like new. My guess is they must have been replaced prior to my ownership of the truck. I could look through the stack of work orders I have deep down in the center console somewhere....

Lights

Added some extra ilumination to the truck, for mainly off road use.

Well I hate to say it but what I did to mine....I put it up for sale. Things seem to be running me into a bind and the truck is one thing I may be able to get some money for ...

Been putting a lot of km on it recently. Yesterday I took the time to give it an oil change again so it should be happy for a while!

Nope, no luck so far...

So I did a little more work to it. On Saturday the CD player just plain quit. It would take a disc in but then say bad disc and wouldn't eject it unless I selected load disc and chose the slot that had the disc in, then insert the disc and it would spit both out.

So today I took the stereo out, opened it up and found one little arm was bent that holds the disc in place. So I bent it back and blew it out with compressed air and what do you know?! My 6CD mp3 player works again!

I then also found why the auxiliary input only played through one side. One of wires was just plain cut. About 6cm from where it enters the rear of the stereo...so I soldered it together and now it all works better than it did when I bought the truck!!

And today, I filled it up with fuel again. Been running it on the street tune and babying it to get good mileage and only got 7.1KM/L. 14.0L/100KM 16.7MPG.

Seems it does better on the tow tune.

Now I am annoyed! I'm 500 km from home and the engine fan has turned itself on and won't turn off... Codes fan speed sensor circuit no signal, and fan speed sensor circuit intermittent. Ugh!

That looks great. I have been wanting to do something for the pathetic back up lights on my truck.

I picked up a used Max Energy tuner by Hypertech off Craigslist. It was only $100 so I figured it is worth a try. All the reviews I could find were mostly very good.

I still have a warranty so I cannot delete the DPF. I installed it and put it on Stage II. You can certainly feel the improved power and the trans seems to shift smoother. I have no illusions this will improve MPG. But I did notice the throttle response seems much improved. My truck typically has a almost a slight hesitation when stomping on it, not anymore!

Yeah a little extra fuel on the bottom RPM range will help light the 'chargers!
