Not much has been done to the beast other than brand new Alliant AC codes, and rebuild the fuel pressure relief valve on my SD fuel bowl. All the OBS shakiness is gone 100% idle is perfect, only thing left is to buy the correct 17° HPOP for my SD timing cover, Im still running my 94.5-95 T500 HPOP, runs great but rather use the correct hpop.
Installed 2" wheel spacers and it improved the handling with the stock wheels and stock 235 85 16. Removed the front sway bar handles nice even when towing, So far the beast hasn't disappointed me,
14k in just 2 months mostly towing heavy stuff mostly ranging from 12-14k Colorado was the one that put her to the test going up I70 towards the Johnson Tunnel towing 12K iirc.
Overall she's done what I have asked her to do.
Pics or didnt happen right?
I initially bought only 2 then another 2 then I said Fak it and bought the last 4.
Then I got entertained with "restoring" and flipping cheap trucks.

I wish I could keep this truck but have no use for it.
Man. Adam you are having all the fun it looks like to me. Those pics look like fun all loaded down. Ac are 120cc?
The dime looks good man
Im sure not mad at a lil truck flipping to supplement the income. Helps on the home fires.
AC codes are 160/0
Although it was a work trip it was fun, got to explore and it's incredible over there I really liked it. Truck did great but those big hills got me thinking about changing back to my 4.10 diff and maybe going the T/4 route or one of those KC drop in turbos, the bad part is I couldn't use my tunes either since installing the new trans which has a shift kit and the TW tunes don't make it to happy when shifting.
Next year I'm jumping to the Hydra

I wish this dd had 4.10 for pulling the camper. Problem is unloaded I would want the 3.55s. My goal is not to tow the camper with this truck other than as a backup. Clifford should do that task as that's his deal. Hope soon!!!
The best gearing IMO is 3.73 seems the overall perfect gear for this trucks judging by how the super duty feel when towing. Shoot even my 3.55 nice but with out tunes and factory tunes she hates anything over 8k
Finally bit the bullet and having body work and paint done, new OEM style front bumper with new plastic inserts and brackets, new factory style chrome grill, headlight bezels, new headlights (all 6 of them) new tail lights, new front windows (working on finding some good rear glass) new window seals, door seals, having it bed lined as well hopefully the body shop can aligned my door as I could never get them straight, still need a tailgate with the aluminium part but he said he will repair the one I have on and when ever I find a new tail gate to bring it so he can repair and paint if necessary free of charge, ( the dude liked my truck. He tried to convince me into doing a rat gray or what ever the color vehicle's use nowadays I said nah! Factory is the only way to go, low key no attention grabbing colors.
Doing Factory Tourmaline Green.
