Thanks, I hope I've covered most of the potential problems with it.
Did anyone have any thoughts on the up-pipe gaskets I used?

I got the Diamond Eye downpipe today and got it installed. I will post some pics when I get a chance. On a side note, the Accelerator pedal is very touchy off idle. its like idle to 1200 rpm, any ideas what would cause this?

Mine used to be like that. Try bending out the tab for the IVS to make it release sooner

Well, I sold my truck and I am driving this one now.
I really like it, It is quieter and smoother in the cab, and it runs even better than my old truck. I still need to clean and wax the paint, but I took a pic of it with the new tires, see what you think! (they are 285/75/16 Dayton Timberline A/T 10 ply)
Water temp gauge.
The other gauges

Looks good Ian. Nice gauges. I'm going to put my scan gauge where you put the water temp gauge. Is the dash hard to pull to get that gauge in there? Never had it out yet.

1. pull out the headlight **** till it stops, then insert a small slotted screwdriver in the slot in the **** and pull the screwdriver and the **** toward you.
2. pry off the two pieces off trim on either side of the column, and remove the two 7mm screws.
3. Carefully pull the bezel toward you, there are several clips on the back side that can be fragile.
4. once it is unsnaped, unhook the wiring from the fuel tank switch and the wait to start area.
It's off!

Thanks Brownie! I really like that spot for a gauge, it is really easy to see.
I pulled my first load with it today, and it did really well. It was a trailer load of firewood that weighed about 8,000 pounds.
