Did quite a bit actually:

1)Started lastnight switching the coolant to Shell Rotella ELC(this is quite a task). Took multiple flushes to clear the water up and foam from system. Not a cheap process either, the elc was pricey! Also, never really got any dirty red grime, maybe because i've had several coolant changes and it never really deteriorated? Had me kind of stumped, but all i got was milky foam water until it cleared up with flushing.....

2) Installed my FPR spring upgrade. It was nice to see my fuel pressure jump about 10psi. Idles around 68-70ish and under wot drops to around 58-62. Easy install and im sure the injectors are happier..

3) Installed the 6.4 banjo bolts. Not nearly as tough as some described, but your gonna skin a couple knuckles.

Sorry for the long wind typing, felt good to finally get this stuff off the shelves and into the truck.:-jammin

It is MSRP 4" exhaust.

Replaced the passenger rear door lock actuator. Bought an aftermarket replacement from Autozone for $43. Needed it to see how it was attached to the door and how to remove it. Now I know...and will attempt the tin foil mod on the next one. Autozone has lifetime replacement warranty on these things.

wouldnt it be the MBRP exhaust? or is MSRP a new brand i dont know of?

I got the V-codes installed today. That makes such a huge difference in how the Ex rides. With those done and the Rancho 9000xl shocks its a new truck. Just need to find some B springs to put on the back.

Got 4.10 gears installed as well as a detroit locker in the rear and true trac in the front!

what headlights are those? will they fit a 2000?

High Intentions 04-09-2011 07:35 PM

Got them off ebay. Yes they fit 2000, thats what they are on. I started a thread with more pic's.

i washed mine today, looks so much better. :)

HDBiker67 04-09-2011 09:51 PM

High Intentions, I like those headlights.
Changed the oil, first oil change since I bought it.
Lubed the fittings. Found a busted rubber boot on the grease fitting at the steering linkage:-arrgh (?-not sure of the terminology. sorry.). Doesnt look too bad to replace. I think I can do it. Need to look it up. It looks as if someone pumped it up too much when they lubed it and blew it out.
Was gonna wash it, but washed the camper instead.
Tried to work on the fog lights. cant figure out whats wrong with them.
Then loaded it up with the wife, kids & dogs and went for ice cream :D

Gave her a bath. Adjusted the steering box and finally got around to trying to hacking the entry code. Found the code in 15 min. Steering is improved. Unfortunately I found some rust spots on the bumper. Got to love living in Illinois. Any suggestion on fixing the rust spots would be appreciated.
