Need a bit of advice. What is best shocks to get for front on a 2wd. It don't do much off-roading anymore lol. Stock height but getting spindle lift in near future to level it up. Also it's a V6. Thanks for any tips.

Well finally got me a lighted keystone moon visor. It was a surprise to me. Went to summit racing to get something other than the visor. When I walked in first went to clearance section and there was a new demo visor all wiring lights instructions screws all of it. Jus no box regular 300.00 I got it for 65.00. Happy camper here lol. Now to just get it painted and install. Hope to have it on by next month. I'll wait to he what I went for I don't get that lol.

Well a bit of update to truck. Yeah a lot of people don't like stick on scoops that aren't functional but mine is. I made it work lol anyway to the point.

I got tired of the other scoop. To many people with the same one even I I modified scoop itself. So I took it off.

Bought another one from summit racing. The cobra mini jet. The trick was to get it to cover the hole in hood lol I got that done.
I've already modified this one as well now. It was a stick on one BUT the curve if the hood wouldn't let it adhere right so I ended up riveting in the corners. Now it sits just right.
Also I smoothed out the lip around it so it's seamless and looks like it belongs. That's the progress as if now.
Ran out of time today to finish it. Here are a few pics of it now and one of it before.

All comments welcome good or bad and any suggestion welcome. Now don't say get rid of it though LOL.

Maybe one of ya had this happen and can help me out. First time it's ever done this. Sat all night went to start truck and when it started the oil light came on and oil gauge drop to 0 then light went off and gauge back to normal. It did this bout 5 times. Once warned up hasn't happen again. It's got 140,000 on it and oil is full. Any opinions why this happen??? Is there something I should worry about??? Something I can replace???? Like I said first time this has ever happened. Is the oil sending unit bout to go out??? I was thinking that. Any help is appreciated THANKS.
