Mopar1973Man

I just spent a bit of time with the gal that does the silk screen work. So I'm already working on get this into the store soon. Passed information on to the BoD and let them work with...

Just for show purpose. We want to keep the Mopar M, and the text just changing to the current title logo. So we are looking for a truck to replace mine. All the artwork has to vectored and reduced to about 5 colors. So like Me78569 mentions the shadows and reflections will cause issues in rendering in vector art form. Even 2 trucks in a V pattern would be awesome say 2nd and 3Gen's. Or 1st and 2nd gens... You get the idea...

If you clean it up good and seal with paint is better than leaving exposed and rusting. I'm also northern truck but to this day I've kept the rust at bay for 13 years heading for 14 years. Power washing and a Rustoleum or spray paint design for rust should aid in keeping it in good shape. Nothing last forever so its will require attention and touch up now and then.

I would say that you need to power wash the underside and get it dried up and the paint the underside with a good quality paint. Wow! The rust is horrid under that truck. As for rear blocks those are stock height. I've got the same ones.

Correct. I added larger watts fog lamps to spread more light about. The stock headlight are well "stock" rather limited unless you engineer something better like Me78569 did with his headlights.

The only fusible links I know on a 12V is the grid heaters and the one for the fuel solenoid that is it. Beyond that there should be fuses in the PDC or cab for protection of circuits.

Front steering you might want to pull the stock sagnaw steering box and do a adjustment or rebuild if leaking. There is two adjustments on the steering box and one of then has to be done outside the vehicle. It would be a good suggest to invest the $35 to $40 bucks in a seal kit rebuild it and readjust the box and you would have tight box once again with the huge cost of Redhead or other names.

Disconnecting the batteries will no reset anything software wise other than APPS values that the only thing it dumps.

Oil leaking past your turbo? Oil in the intercooler? Bad injector(s)? Might consider pop testing.

Welcome back. Most are heading to FASS pumps.

That's cool I was always a big fan of Calvin and Hobbs.

Don't feel bad... USPS suppose to have a key lock assembly coming from RockAuto but delivery date is set for the 12th and it in Ohio... Hmmm Today is the 13th and its still not here...

After working with my Fire Chief on a Ford 6.0L Diesel I need this jacket... Dodge Cummins isn't so bad... But Ford... OMG! Like my Fire Chief and I will agree you need to take all the engineers out back and beat them with a ugly stick. Then tell them all to go back and fix that turd call a 6.0L Ford Powerstroke. Who in their right mind builds a truck that requires the body to be lifted off.

What was so bad about it?

Mean this one?

You make me sick...

Heck I just got done wash it again. Darn windows were so bad you bare see out any more.

I can tell that is the PCM loom. Can't tell what else is there too.

All based on software design. Mine will run on for a short span after the key is turned off on a starter bump. Now just shut the key off on a normal run it will shutdown instantly. The normal start and run mode is a safety design so if the vehicle is in a accident the all fuel pump are shut down instantly. This prevents a lift pump feeding fuel to possible fire.

AH64ID you might want to school Taz up on CR injectors and the failing points. I would have to say the truck is "True Stock" yet. I've never seen per say but talked to him enough to know some of the basics.

My bad... I was think stock only... Yes "most" aftermarket pump do have a relay. Now like the Raptor series for direct replacement of stock it does NOT have a relay. So be aware some do have extra relay and some don't. Like AirDog 100/150 and FASS 100/150 both relays.

From what I know of Taz he's planning on using that truck for towing trailers and "possibly" hotshot work. I start to wonder about 180k miles and the current health of the injectors. That alone could suck up the 3 grand in itself.

There is no relay... Lift pump is direct wired to the ECM.
