I tried this with vegetable oil and it seems to work just as well, and veggie oil is cheaper.

I've heard that too but they fit my truck just fine. It must be because I have a Dana 80 rear axle instead of a 70.

I got a retro sound radio for my truck. It looks like it could be OEM but it has all of the new stuff like bluetooth and aux/usb ports. It is very nice quality wise as well but you pay for that quality. My biggest complaint is that it doesn't connect to the dimmer wire and the bright mode is too bright at night but the dim mode is not quite bright enough if the sun is shining right on it on a nice day.

Those must be Power Wagon wheels, they look good. I have the 18 inch 4th gen wheels and besides a little rubbing up front they seem to work fine. I have heard others say the hub wouldn't fit though as the newer wheels have most of the hubcap integrated into the wheel.

If you're interested I have the stock 16 inch alloy wheels with the hubcaps and a set of highway Michelins. Edit: Looked up New Meadows and you're about 5 1/2 hours South of me, not sure if that would be worth it.

Yeah ya have to get the ones with the 2nd gen base, or do a lot of custom work. I got the old style with the new style lights and wired them up as marker lights, link to those. You can also get the new style with the corner light, link. Or if you want plug and play with the new style mirror you can get them without the corner light, link.

Dunno, you might have to do something custom if you go that route. From what I read HERE and a few other places it sounds like there are two separate blocks and you could take one out to lose a little height in the rear.

Here's a writeup on it from a different forum. And if you're leveling it just for the looks have you considered getting shorter blocks for the rear? Bringing up the front can hurt your fuel economy.

Thanks for the compliments on the truck guys.

Like Moparman said the brushes wearing out is usually what slows down the starter, mine was clicking and not turning over so I only did the solenoid rebuild.

I did the LarryB's solenoid rebuild kit not that long ago, super simple. The hardest part was actually getting the heavy, grease covered starter out from under the truck when it was cold and wet out. So far the starter seems to be functioning flawlessly. The full rebuild is a little more involved though based on this video.

Hey, just wanted to introduce myself, I'm from Northern Idaho and have a 2002 QCSB with a HO Cummins and 6 speed manual. I found the site looking at HID retrofits and it looked like a great community to be a part of. Attached a pic of my truck for those who want to see it.
