    What should I get?

    Hello everyone- I am looking to get a 90’s extended cab to use as my daily driver; I will be towing a 20’ ski boat, as well as the occasional utility/uhaul trailer. What year/engine/transmission combo should I look for? What should I stay away from? Thanks in advance.

    This one says made in Mexico. It’s a project truck that I’m almost finished with, so not my daily driver. May just send it off and have it rebuilt.

    Cowl or factory hood?? Can’t decide

    Cowl or factory hood?? Can’t decide

    I hear you! Not going to lie though- it would completely be for looks only; kind of like the lifted 4x4’s that will never see a mud hole!

    HELP- Fuel Pump

    UPDATE- Thanks for everyone’s help and feedback!! Turns out it was a bad fuel pump. Ended up changing it out with a Precision pump and it started right up. Now to try and get refund for faulty Delphi from Amazon and/or Delphi direct! Hopefully Precision pump will last a long time!
