And no those aren't the headlights I've got. Mine are lightning heads, stripped and painted black. The corners aren't lightning but they came with the certain set in eBay. I liked how they didn't have the reflector in them.
How's the 4V running

It runs. But the rest of the truck is falling apart.

Bought a 2012 today.

Falling apart? I thought the body on that one was in good shape.

"It runs" doesn't sound good..I'm guessing electrical issues?

It is. Just put a new trans and t case in it. Axle seals are toast and have been leaking for a while. Interior isn't as clean and together as I'd like. Windshield is cracked. Lock actuators are very weak. Rust on rockers. Paint isn't very good. They might just be small things but I'm sure I'm missing some and they all add up.

Honestly I'm just not happy driving it anymore. Should have put the 4v in the scab since it was already built but now I'm going through all the same rebuilds plus more. Just isn't worth it to me in a truck im not in love with.

No electrical issues. Cruise control, when connected causes the truck to idle high so it's currently disconnected. And the CHT sensor is unplugged because there's nowhere on the harness to plug it in so no coolant temp reading but that's it.

Yeh I could see how that would bother you. I dont like that I have minor wind noise at my pass side door. I would be considering a sale if it were me.

Feels weird to be in something besides a 10th gen but the 5.0 sure is nice and the updated interior is a plus. It's only and xlt but feels like platinum interior from what I'm used to lol
