It Took Me Long Enough...

Ad8 PRODIGY · Sep 26, 2013

Just went to lowes to see if it would start for chits and giggles... It sputtered to life and a good amount of white smoke came out the stack, to which I attributed to all our cranking last night. Gonna rip it apart as soon as I get it home and replace the IPR o-rings. Anyone want to come do this for me? Lol I'll supply beer of your choice.

Going to MD next weekend for MPDs dyno day and really want to take the truck with us

Holy **** the two small o rings on the IPR are SHOT!!

ran to auto zone and grabbed the generic pack of o rings and found two that matched perfectly.. hoping it works for now and I'll order an IPR rebuild kit from Clay tomorrow.

also noticed a very large and slow oil leak on the ground today. coming from way up on the engine it looks like.. are there oil lines on the backsides of these heads I need to feel for and see if I can tighten them? It also looks to be intermittent best I can tell....

Like I said, one thing after another.

there are oil plugs on the back of the head, and plugs along the valley

rat49f6 · Sep 27, 2013

These?

Might order those too for chits and giggles. Need some spare time to go pressure wash it again

rat49f6 · Sep 27, 2013

Truck has 4 of those total

IPR o rings fixed it... now if I can track down this oil leak I'll be able to take the truck with me to MD

Sweet! The ole girls can be a pain sometimes, but once they get lined out you love 'em all over again.

Thanks bud. Still have the sub and amp sitting on my floor in my room lol. Need to find some time and do the wiring and everything for them. Other things have taken priority

acf6 · Sep 29, 2013

Nice. Luckily this truck came with a sub/amp preinstalled so it made it easy

still have factory speakers though...ill get to that someday

Emery19 · Sep 29, 2013

If you have the minimax on by then you don't mind if I use if for a week or so to see whats up? That would be awesome man. Remember to shoot me a text around then but I'll probably be around again.

Gave her a good wash and wax the other day... cleaned up and brought back more paint then I thought.. I really need to clay bar the hood and wax that again though.

Otherwise, I'm happy how it turned out. Still can't get over how much better it looks with tint. Best money I've spent on it

Lose the stickers and napa flaps and you'll be golden

I think I'm gonna drop a few more stickers but yes the Napa flaps are gone ASAP. I need mud flaps but haven't found any and I've spent the money elsewhere
