and yeah with the new paint it looks presentable, but I'm still prefer square body like the '92 I had better. All in all It's a decent looking truck. I do think if i can find a deal I will do a mirror swap. I hate the ones that are on it they just look cheap or something I don't like them

Well, yet another issue, Cadillac converter is bad. I started noticing it getting louder on the highway sounded like a rattle kinda. Crawled under it and sure enough you can feel the exhaust coming out the shroud around the converter. Fuel mileage has gone down. I'm thinking now the intermittent check engine light is related to this maybe O2 sensors. Parts on order.

After installing the new cat converter, make sure fuel trim is in spec so the new one won't melt down.

I'll look that up, thank you for the input. I would have never thought of checking anything after swapping a converter
