Powerstroke214's build thread

Powerstroke214 · Nov 15, 2013

So I'm thinking about selling my wheels and doing this:
•Smooth, ptm door handles
•jimmy jammers(especially since 2 trucks were stolen from my job)
•either 08 mirrors w/ ptm caps or ptm caps for the 06 mirrors(not sure if they make those, if not, then 06 ptm mirrors)
•recon clear turn signals
•maybe new headlights, don't want HIDs but want something brighter, not sure though.
•new shocks(one is dented) maybe bilsteins or icons? Maybe?

Any suggestions?

Sell the wheels, stock wheels and those tires would be tits.

PTM 08 mirrors and door handles would look killer too without a doubt

For now I would take the door handles, mirrors, tailgate handle, and grill off and take them to a body shop for paint. Cuts down on cost a whole lot if you have everything taken apart for them.

Oh and I would do stock wheels and sell the motos.

Hm, might do that, but I'm gonna wait on a grill, I want a Harley grill with white surround. Not sure a white grill(the regular one) would look good w/ the white plastic thing. Saw a KR with the tan plastic and white grill, looked pretty good. I'm just not sure of the plan for the front end.

How much did you pay for your ptm? If you don't mind me asking.

Don't bother with Jimmi jammers IMO. Just get rid of all the lock cylinders by putting a rear handle on the driver door.

12stroker · Nov 15, 2013

And pray your batteries never die also you would need to carry a slim Jim.

Agjake11 · Nov 15, 2013

Jumper cables on the starter and you can use the key to unlock the door. Or you can always get remote terminals if you wanted to mount them in the bumper for when that happens

12stroker · Nov 15, 2013

No mater what you do to your truck if they want to get in they will. And the only reason why I say that is because my friend did that to his truck and well they broke his door handle off his truck.

Agjake11 · Nov 16, 2013

very true. I liked the look with no key holes in them though and i had got an entire set of 08 handles for the cost of a pair of JJ's so decision was easy.

Hm, I may go that route. Only thing that worries me would be getting in w/ a dead batt.

Think about this though. The battery will be weak enough to not start the truck but still unlock before going completely dead.

Powerstroke214 · Nov 16, 2013

Ok, didn't think about that.

Started the truck earlier today and the A/C wouldn't come on, as in the whole was just blank. Restarted the truck and it was fine.

A few min ago, sitting at a light, the radio started flickering, went away after I took off. Any info on either of these?

Planning to pick up the Edge CS and EGT probe from Raul @Stealth perf.

Maybe a voltage issue?
