Found that it helps if you tighten the oil filter ...


ran some wires... need to run more for all the gauges...


tightened down the cab lights...still have leaks...


then yesterday she decided to start missing after I reved her up a bit...


Still chasing that issue...one valve cover off and it looks clean....says made in china though....


That's when I found the rebuilt turbo locked up....so its in pieces again....
My stocker is just sitting here.

Well I guess page 16 means I am way over due for an update...


so I pieced together todd's stocker and Thomas' Pedestal from Brian and it ran again.... (yes that was past tense)...


I then proceeded to get more work done as seen in the pictures below...

I still need to finish wiring a trailer brake controller, the trailer plug for the controller, and now that winter is uon us the batters decided to give up their ghost and left me at work one day....I was tempting fate though as I new one cell was bad...I guess the additional welding of fog lights didn't help....

Wow November of last year since an update...hmm
Well When I get home hopefully I can upload some pictures...most of the FB friends already know about the rear suspension.

Thinking I may have a rear wheel bearing going out...but the truck did some work this weekend pulling a Hyundai santa fe on a tow dolly down to hazard KY...

This leads to my question for the group....

Appearently I have an open diff because I was 1 wheeling trying to make a corner and start up a wet hill.... With a car on a car dolly that wasn't a good scene. Can I just replace the carrier to make it limited slip or are there other components? Brian/Aaron any thoughts? Any one else?

Lee when I had mine apart the clutch pack was in the carrier. So I think you could, but your clutch may be worn. Have you had it open for a look?

I believe you can just swap in a ls carrier. If by chance yours is a limited slip and your clutches are worn, i have a new set here you can have.
