Boys wanted to take Rusty to cars n coffee so had breakfast on the tail gate and popped the hood. Good clean fun

Old man picked up (5) 1/2 ton loads of stone for a home project. New shocks and rear lift blocks worked like a charm!
Could hardly tell anything was in the bed.

Searching for a rear bumper, still needs interior work and a million other things but so far it feels good to have a running usable truck.

Old man has been using the truck every weekend which is great! He says the check engine light will come on once in a while but nothing comes of it. He just replaced the battery, the dead one was only 2 years old so wondering if we have a drain somewhere? Looking into 5vortech's big 3 kit to help eliminate some variables.
After big 3, next on the list is the fuel system!

Trucks been getting put to good use almost every weekend which makes me happy.

Brand new battery goes dead every couple days if it isn't run. Hoping that replacing all the grounds and big 3 kit will help uncover the batt drain.

Started round 1 of replacing all the bulbs with LEDs. Superbrightleds.com has an awesome website and bulb finder.

Most the bulbs ordered were interior with the exception of the tag, and reverse lights.
Will eventually be replacing all lights when I'm done researching what flashers/resistors I need.
There definatley is an electrical issue going on with the pass side.
Brake light goes out with brakes on, blinker hyper flashes, front outer parking lamp goes out with hi beams on.

Radio died (didn't like it anyway), and cig lighter is dead, want to replace it with a rocker style usb charger.

Checked some local part stores to compare led prices and they are cheaper online.
