Good work, it turned out great! That picture of you and your buddy sorting the harness out gives me nightmares... I hate electrical work on trucks.

thank you, the harness was definitively a lot of work. thankfully my brother is pretty good with wiring so he did almost all of it. I held a soldering iron pretty well lmao.

Re: Complete build change. Lifted 2wd

Got my exhaust finished up last weekend as well as some shocks on the rear end. I didn't particularly like the idea of having a tip out the side but I didn't like the drone of having a turn down under the bed. Im happy with how it looks now that it is done though.

finally ran out the gas tank that I filled before we put the bed on it and now I cant drive it until we put a fuel fill in. Currently have no way to put gas in it unless we take the bed off lol. . plus side is that the truck has over 300 miles on it and is running like a top! Few little adjustments and a rattle scare on the transmission but turned out it is fine!

Re: Complete build change. Lifted 2wd

Figured I'd update this since I have been able to drive the truck for a while now. I have about 1300 miles on it and its still running really well. We use it every chance we get.

Only thing I want to do in the immediate future is to spray the bed to match and get a set of lower control arms to lengthen slightly so I can get rid of the little bit of positive camber it has goin on.

Hi, that is a cool build. Do you have more details regarding the tires on your truck? Thinking of going in that direction myself.

Re: Complete build change. Lifted 2wd

About 2500 miles on her and still running like a champ. Used it to pick up lumber for my brothers addition. Love a truck that can handle whatever you need. Glad we stuck with the 3/4-1 ton suspension.

Re: Complete build change. Lifted 2wd

Well the truck was about to roll 3000 miles when I started noticing a few weird things. . . I had a very small coolant loss and I thought I traced it back to the steam vent.. but I also noticed that the truck would smoke in the morning but I was being optimistic thinking it was the hot/cold change we have been experiencing.

I rented a tester to check the Head gasket and it tested fine. . also no contamination in the oil. One day when starting it up in the morning it fired cylinder by cylinder, one at a time and ran fine after the initial misfires. . Later that day I turned the key, it kicked back almost like a dead battery. . I tried it one more time since I was stuck at work, it fired and ran fine. . parked it until yesterday when I had a chance to pull the plugs and turn it over with my remote starter. . Sure enough, the very front cylinder on the passenger side was full of coolant. . . hoping to just do head gaskets and praying it isn't a cracked head!

Cant be mad at a $400 junk yard motor thats got me this far but still a little bummed ha.

worried it might be a crack just based on how much coolant was in the cylinder

I drained the coolant and waited overnight for the cylinder to completely dry out, gonna fire it up and rush it into the garage instead of having to work in the wood chips in the sun.

Re: Complete build change. Lifted 2wd

Sorry to hear of the issue. Hopefully it is just a bad gasket. Make sure you get new head bolts when you put it back together. These are torque to yield and only good for one use in case you didn't know.

Re: Complete build change. Lifted 2wd

If it is a head, I happen to have a pair of 862s I'm not using I'd sell cheap if you end up needing one.

very generous of you, thank you. The heads on it happen to be 862 so that would be perfect! I hope I dont need them but good to know that I can get my hands on some if the need arises.
