Well...Again, another twist in this trucks' fate with me.....lol
After reassessing things, getting a couple things fixed....I suppose its here to stay...
Now have my vibration issue resolved (U-Joints were toast), swapped radiators out (Gave my old one to 6cylbill) and have replaced a tire; Now on the move to replace the other 3 ASAP....
Traded my xbox 360 Splinter Cell edition console kit for a Kicker Comp 10" Sub, kicker Ported truck box, and Kick amp.....And lemme just tell ya...I LOVE IT....Watched some of the Punisher (Again) on it, and was blown away....And now almost have my surround sound/home(mobile) theater completed.....
It now just needs tweeters, and a LOT of sound proofing....(Has zilch for insulation, and winter is coming).....
My current stereo includes-
JVC Cd player w/ USB Port, Aux In-50w x 4
Jensen 60w EQ (For some fine tuning)
Pioneer 6.5" Door Speakers
Pioneer 6 x 9" Speakers in the B-Pillars
Kicker Comp 10" Subwoofer w/ matching Ported Box & Amplifier....
************************************************** *****
So yeah...It's gonna stay...Just working on making it RELIABLE, and EFFICIENT....
So now I have 3 oil leaks to fix (1 from the Pushrod Cover, and 2 from the Oil Pain-Front/Rear)
So I figure if I'm gonna have to loosen the engine mounts, and raise the engine to replace the oil pan gasket...Why not go ahead and do a "Freshen up" rebuild and have the head ported and polished...Along with a Camshaft, headers, etc....
Pics later...

Matched in power or just brands?
I'm talking about the sub and amp.
I've got the Kicker TC104 because the box is tiny and it replaced the horrible square sub the truck came with.
Something I noticed is finding an amp to match that sub's power output was a pain in the butt. In the end I got a cheap Dual from wal mart. It was the closest I could get to match without getting an external crossover. Which, btw how is yours set?
