How are you liking the Katzkin covers? How much were they? Worth it? They look great though

I don't like cloth seats so the katzkin's where a great up grade plus theyre made extremely well. For about $500 I'd say their definitely worth it ?? I highly recommend them if you're in the market for leather seat covers

Got jumped off. For some reason it decided the battery was low and wouldn't start... only been setting for about 20 min from the last drive...

Did you install seat heaters? If so, what fuse locations did you use? I have a regular cab, and both left and right "heated seat" fuses are in the drivers side panel. Strange decision.

Installed a pair of black Anzo LED tail lights (Anzo part 311238) to replace factory kit.

 

Pretty simple install - i used this video and it worked well:

 

 

 

Keep in mind that the reverse lights and side marker lights are still analog bulbs so if you want to make it match you will need to buy a pair of 194's for the side marker lights and 921's for the reverse lights (FYI i tried with analog and it looked cheesy!). When installing the replacement reverse and marker lights, the connections are directional. Before remounting the lenses check the bulbs to see if they are on. If not just remove from their socket and rotate.

 

Total installation time (at my snail pace) was 30 minutes.

Changed my cabin air filter, looks like the prior owner/dealer thought it was optional

Would think at the minimum it would be pro rated or pending dealer, covered.

Diped the headlight trim to see if I liked it in black.

This made me change my mind on the 6inch black running boards and go with the 4" tubular assist step...........

    • 87 down as low as $5.14 here... winning!
    • Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
