My 97 is running perfect. A couple weeks ago we had the springs all rearched and new bushings installed. Also an extra leaf on each of the back ones. tire wear problem fixed! It's always been a great runner with way more power than I had any use for. It's all stock except for the big air filter I put on myself. 22 mpg highway with any 4x4 is exceptional to me but out of a diesel with 4.10 gears is just outstanding so no complaints here. 270,000 miles on it so far.

My new to me 94 club cab powerstroke 4x4 is getting there. I've only had it 2 days and it takes a while to unscrew all the stuff the dealer and other garages have done to it. At least it will drive in a straight line now and start right up when I ask it too. It's got 160,000 miles so far.

TRG here as well. after i spent 3 days mounting the IC, headlights, and fixing a bad throwout bearing, but it's all good now!!!

Short term list would be stage 2's, HPX, and take out a few dodges and maybe a chevy or 2....
