That’s my bro-in-laws 2002 next to mine. I put some Bilstien 4600 shocks in it after he helped me with my bumper. That truck was the reason I got mine. I had seen multiple trucks online with the 4th gen bumper. I liked how they looked. Having this one given to me I figured I’d try it. My original bumper was a little tweaked back when I bought it. I had to put self tappers in the plastics to hold them on.

You need to get a sports grill for it. This is what mine looked like before I put the sports grill on it. This is the regular grill. Everything is black but if you zoom in you can see the gap The sports grill I got was about 1 3/4 “ taller from top to bottom. and was thicker.

I’ve had this bumper sitting in my backyard for a few months. Decided to finally put it on. Got the brackets off eBay for $30. Nice powder coated 1/4” thick. Picked up some 1/2” carriage bolts and locking nuts from the local hardware store. Also grabbed a sports grill off eBay for $100. $22 for the emblem and a can of satin black paint. Had to drill 4 wholes in the lower part of the grill frame. Added some spacers from a tv wall mount kit. For the gap between the mount and grill.

Congratulations you two!

That thing was smoked! Should run like a top now.

Good to know. I’ll readjust it tomorrow.

Got it put in today. It’s pretty hefty. It has a polyurethane bushing. Changed out the drivers tie rod I’ve had in the garage for about a year while I was down there. Truck seems to handle better. Glad I got it done. Did a driveway alignment. 1/4” toe in. Centered the axle. Thanks again @Tractorman

My exhaust system has a drone around 2000-2200 RPM while towing. I need to see if they make one of those in 4X4” in and out.

Will do. Thanks again!

Thank you just what I’m looking for! A million mile warranty. That’ll outlast the truck and me! Well I ordered it today. Should be here by Saturday.

Thank you just what I’m looking for!

I’m looking into those as well.

The front end parts on my truck are only a few years old. Moog. I put a 1” leveling kit on it. The front end is slightly off center. That’s why I am looking at an adjustable track bar. For the price of a Thuren or Carly I can live with it for now. 😆

Very true

I figured as much. Half the stuff at the parts houses are made in china. I went through 5 master cylinder’s from O’reilys in a one year period. All leaked from the same spot. The front tank where it sits on the aluminum housing. Put a Napa one on a couple months ago. So far so good

Does anyone run this track bar or one like it? https://www.ebay.com/itm/222670536407?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=1xCqq0dyS56&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=dXRtkXfnQY-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Ya I hear you. Ya the autos tend to give you a little warning before the AC noise takes out the Ecm or in an autos case pcm to.

Test for AC noise. Now that you’ve done the W-T mod it could be ok. Once I got my Nations alternator I still had the lock unlock issue with my transmission. Once I did the W-T mod I haven’t had any issues. I did the mod 5 or 6 years ago. It’s the high AC noise that fries the computers.

Test for AC noise from the alternator while the truck is running with no accessory’s on. Anything below .05 mv is acceptable. Above that replacement is necessary. I’ve been running a Nations alternator for years with no issues.

Why don’t you figure out where the drain is coming from?

Sorry for your loss.

Merry Christmas!

Glad you’re out and doing better. Take care Mike!

Happy Thanksgiving!
