Getting closer to this truck moving under its own power. Should be driving it by next weekend. Will pick up a Throttle Body Gasket in the am. And get that on tomorrow. My back is only allowing me to work on it for short Periods of time. And being I took it apart back in Jan, my mind is not clear where some of the plugs go. But getting them figured a few at a time. After getting the Throttle Body on tomorrow. Should get most of the plugs hooked up. Then the fan and stuff up front.
Then drain what fuel has been the truck from 2012. That was the last time the truck was run. Put new gas and fuel filter on. Then see if Everything's ready to fire this old gal off. OOOHh I do like the linkage being bolted up to the side of the trans/Engine. Then after running it new half axles up front. Along with new tires and drive it until It falls apart or I die.
Plans are to rebuild everything on it over the next years or so. Including getting the dents out, then repainting it back like it sits now.

Got 85% of the front 6" lift installed. Tomorrow some nit picky stuff like shocks / tie rods and sway bar links and then the front will be done and on to the rear.

I need to get looking then. My main reason I haven't yet is because I wanted to wear these tires out first.

Plugs go in the heads, you should see a hole, well 8 of them. Next to the injectors.


What engine, 5four 99 ? Yea the coil sits on top of the plugs and there should be a coil connector from the harness close by, to connect to each coil.

Sitting sice Jan ? If she doesn't fire right away, don't be alarmed, just key the ignition to run a few times , - off run off run 3 or 4 times, she should fire then.
