So driving my truck around today I noticed a small issue. When I first start it up it idles fine, but when I put it in drive and start to give it gas it boggs down. Once I start to drive around its perfectly fine though. Then after getting out of a movie this evening I started it up, pulled out of the parking space about 3 feet and it died. Started it back up again and it ran fine all the way home. Later I was driving around again and all of the sudden at a light it just died. Except for those 3 times, it runs perfect all the time. The only thing I can think of is that I accidentally forgot to disconnect the battery when I made a couple tack welds on my bumper, but idk why it would run fine 99% of the time and the just die randomy. Any ides? Im stumped... :shrug:

Fuel filter or fuel pump. You may have partially fried something in the pump...

Bought a 6 lug 14 bolt semi-floating axle for her today! Hopefully I can get it cleaned up and put on next weekend

Nice! Does the Gearing match your front diff? On a side note..its looking like i will be studying your bumper pics for awhile since i found out my stock bumper is dented up. So i will prob copy yours or jakes bumper Figured out what i was gonna do to it coating wise...Metallic silver powder coat with bed liner on the step plate areas.
