So many issues.....maybe seeing some daylight?...LOL....Taking it in next Wednesday to have the new Melling M340HighVolume oil pump installed...since the timing components have to be removed anyways, I'm going to be upgrading to OEM phasers, and steel Melling tensioners...( I say "upgrade", because the current phasers are Dorman, and the tensioners are plastic)....new VCTs...etc.....Hopefully after this, I can actually keep it in my driveway more, as compared to the shop floor..LOL....

 

 

Thanks!....Would be even nicer if it would run without issues long enough to drive and enjoy! LOL...

 

 

That's a mean looking truck! The name goes perfect with it

 

Thanks!....I've been debating on throwing some stripes on the hood/front bumper, but have to get it running good, before I can do anything else...LOL

 

Plastic chain tensioners were the death of mine. I wish I'd replaced them with metal ones but I doubt I'll have the truck more than another 50k so they should last

 

 

I was thinking of Matte Black...to match the FX2 decals on the bed.....

 

Let us know how the updates/upgrades work out. I am curious about the Mellong High Pressure oil pump.
