Wow, she lived a good long life. It's really neat when you get to see one of these trucks go that long.

I figured that I'd post an update, haven't been on here in a while... I have recently done my water pump, been working on making my battery cables last as long as possible, brakes, tires, sway bar bushings etc.



some pictures with the new tires and wheels, I went with BFG AT KO2 315/75r16. The rims are 8.5" wide.










They were pretty worn...





No pad left, just the plate.

Definitely, it was getting pretty close. I had been working on getting the engine issues taken care of and decided that I'd better get the brakes taken care of when I started seeing brake dust on the wheels.

Thanks! Next up is either going to be an RSK or E-fuel.

I like the tires! I almost got the T/A KO2 but ended up going with the Goodyear Duratracs. Both are about the same price point and are good tires, I just have nothing but good experiences with the duratracs and haven't ever had the KO2s.

Here's a picture of my 315/75/16 duratracs, 3.5"RSK and no rear lift:

Nice! that looks great. I completely missed your reply, I haven't been on here in a few months and just it. So far the BFGs have been great, haven't needed 4x4 yet. They completely blow away the tires that I had on there before.

Figured it was time for an update... I now have e-fuel! I went with the kit from 444fab. It was a very easy and smooth install and everything lined up great. I highly recommend them and their kit. I ended up buying the kit from an individual who told me it was an obs kit... when I got it it ended up being a superduty efuel kit but I contacted the guys at 444fab and they sent me the parts to convert the kit for an obs. They were very quick to reply when I had any questions and had me call them to talk me through a part that I was having a little bit of an issue with.
