Forgot all about the video of the exhaust I'll still get to that lol.

Also ordering a belltech driveline alignment kit for my vibration and if I still have problems the money pit will be on the market
Don’t sell it! The driveline angle has to be off causing that.

How do you like this compared to buying LEDs taillights? Do you just buy the bulbs because you've always had good luck with the factory boards?

The bulbs are cheaper and in emergency I can throw a regular bulb back in. Also the led taillights are expensive and usually dont last before the leds start dying

Put spacers on trans and carrier bearing from belltech didnt do rear spring bolt and shims because I dont think my back is ready for that work.

Anyways it was much better then its been but the truck is also been on the back burner because ive been working on my suburban instead. Kinda burned out on truck so its just sitting or drove a day or 2 here and there

Small update.

Finally can drive the truck reliably again since in the time it sat the starter solenoid went stupid and would click more often then crank.

And I wasnt about to buy a starter for $150 locally and dont trust cheap junk on internet so i decided to keep the gm starter and replace the sloenoid well can't do that cause can't buy solenoid. So did some research and ford using the same solenoid and you can buy one of them. And I didnt do that either went cheaper lol. Had a good ford starter at work yanked solenoid off and fixed mine for free. Haha

One on right is from ford

Bucket list on truck now is
Valve guide seals for extended idle smoking some times

Valley pan I found leaking when I did starter

Rebuild trans

And finish driveline alignment kit

And maybe just maybe if the money pit would quit with the surprises I could work on making it one color

But on a side note this jewel came into work it's a 1 owner 1999 2 dr tahoe 2wd kinda rare around here. Rest are always 4x4

Sweet! I'd like to have one of those. My Burb ' s mini me LOL. Just gotta be a millionaire first......

Good to know about the solenoid. I always said Fords better ideas were somebody else's first!

Its really nice for almost 300k but I doubt they would part ways with it haha

Thats about right ford can take a great idea and turn it in a pos lol
