Looks great! Well except for the brake fluid, I'd make that next on the list, they don't like to stop with that much water/contamination in there.

Hope she fires right up. Keep in mind, sometimes they don't after that much has been done. If it doesn't fire, don't let it beat you up. That's usually because the injectors bled out and can be stubborn to purge. You just have to cycle the key a bunch of times.

Very satisfied with my truck this past weekend. Drove 460 miles to Georgia to pick up a very clean rust free bed. Averaged 14.3 mpg pulling the trailer with lots of big hills. Didn't skip a beat.

Great new metal. That bed is very clean. Are you going to rust proof it prior to install?

Yes i plan to make sure this bed will never see cancer ever. Just need to do some researching to see what is the best coating to put underneath and how to get inside all the small ports.

I put on a steering stabilizer just to see what's up. So far so good.

NO, Por-15 is great on rust but not on paint over rust or non rusted surface.

I've used it on rust and non rust surfaces with the same great results.
