Nice truck. It's probably not something I would do to one, but it looks like you've done a good job of bringing it all together.

 

You said it's not quite where you want it yet... What's the ultimate goal for you on the truck?

i am trying to make it more stock since alot of the parts i dont have. im trying to make it looks nice. like getting gap gaurds, and bed rails, and so on.

 

its only a 350, i wish it was a diesel.

 

and when it rains it just kiinds sits at the bottom of the stacks and when i start it up a ton of black crappy water shoots out.

its got a really low echo sound to it. sometimes it hits the right rpm and it shakes the dome light out and makes every thign rattle its so deep. but im running mufflers in it right now but they can be taken out in about 1 min :dunno: .

 

im only 16 and this is my frist car (truck in my case). but im learning every step of the way. before i built this truck i had NO idea what half of anything was. now i know 100% more than what i used to know about trucks and cars in genral. this is a great project. my parents always say it keeps me out of trouble. Belive it or not i only have $2500 in this truck with all my accesories and tune ups and everything. :)

 

Plans for future:

 

Steering Stabilizer - Ordered Today (Skyjacker)

B&M Trans Tem Gauge - Ordered Today

Gap Gaurds - Soon

4.10 Gears - Soon

Elegant TYC Headlights - Soon

Dual Battery Setup - Could Do Anytime now......

Hey man when are you going to get a sound clip of your truck! You guys have done a great job with that truck!! Ever thought about getting those tractor like rain guards that flap up and down to keep water out? I dont know how they would work with your set up but I think it would be something that I would want to try!

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
