[QUOTE="Luke@MillerPerformance, post: 784210, member: 12303"] My current daily driver started life as ranch fleet truck. It ended up at my shop after another one couldn't get the truck to start after throwing about $6000 in parts at it. Never checked to see if the low pressure pump was actually working. Opened it up and found the impressions of needle bearings in the pump gears. They decided the truck wasn't worth pulling the motor and replacing the lifters and cam so they sold it to me for $1000. At that time the truck had 175000 on it. The truck is an '04 XL trim, manual everything. [ATTACH=full]117053[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]117054[/ATTACH] Someone put the '08 tailgate and lights one (freebie :pimp:) It was winter time and slow at the shop, so the engine came out the next day. [ATTACH=full]117055[/ATTACH] Engine torn down. [ATTACH=full]117056[/ATTACH] To find the $20 part that started all the destruction. [ATTACH=full]117057[/ATTACH] What was left of the roller, found in the oil pan. [ATTACH=full]117058[/ATTACH] And the cam: [ATTACH=full]117059[/ATTACH] I pulled the cam without taking the crank out, just removed the adapter/balancer after marking locations at TDC and changed cams. I had a good used one, saved a good chunk of change there. Nothing like a fresh set of ARPs [ATTACH=full]117060[/ATTACH] Sneaky EGR Delete, beating CARB at their own BS game :p [ATTACH=full]117061[/ATTACH] Took the steam cleaner to the frame and some spray paint. [ATTACH=full]117062[/ATTACH] Got it back together and had to get something better than those white steelies. And some '08 mirrors, [ATTACH=full]117063[/ATTACH] Livewire TS cause stock sucks [ATTACH=full]117064[/ATTACH] After driving it for awhile, I installed a 58V FICM which help the throttle response and starts. Also ended up with an almost brand new RCD 68mm Powermax (almost a freebie) Also on the outsmarting emissions test, I hollowed out the cat and did a 4" straight pipe from there back. I have it up to almost 190000 now, commute around 70-100 miles a day. Might be trading it for another '04 but extended cab/long bed with power everything. [/QUOTE]
