    Rocker panel options..

    Hey guys. So, as pretty much everyone who owns one of these, my rocker panels have rust. What options are available to remedy this? Now that the years have gone by and these trucks can be had for a few grand, the thought of paying thousands of dollars to have new metal ones welded in and...

    ugh.. awful.. just awful.. glad I went ahead and ordered that pan with the drain plug so I don't have to do this all again anytime soon...figure I'll change the fluid every couple thousand miles until I'm confident it's completely clean and then go to normal intervals after that..

    I don't doubt it will be. I have one of the pneumatic brake bleeders though, so hopefully it won't be too bad. I pulled the throttle body and got that all cleaned out, so just waiting on the gasket to get here and that'll be put back together tomorrow. cleaned under the front end real good and...

    The interior is actually really good, all things considered. The drivers seat has a nickel sized hole and there's a decent tear in the driver side captains chair, but outside of that everything's good with the leather. Carpet is stained quite a bit, so I'm going to shampoo it soon. Some of the...

    Yea luckily I didn't get put in a position like that, I would probably be feeling completely different about the whole thing. I had already noticed that their were issues with the brakes so I was making sure to creep slowly with plenty of standoff. Made it home in one piece and now it's up on...

    Thanks all! So, I used the truck today and did a lot of running around. Realized after a while that if I sat in one spot too long, the truck would lose brake pressure and start lurking forward, eventually even turn on the brake light. Uh oh.. Checked under it and didn't see any fluid, so...

    Hey yall, I'm back.. So, I was previously here (same account) with a NBS Z71 a few years back, but it ended up losing all oil pressure and I sold it to a buddy. Well, after going through a few other vehicles (Excursion diesel, Mazda 3, and a Ford Flex) I decided my life was not complete...

    Extremely noisy engine now quiet. Here's how I did it.

    Double din

    Yea it couldn't be simpler. I wired the harnesses together in my living room, then walked outside and threw it together. Once you get the stereo harness wired to the PAC harness, it's all plug and play from there.

    Extremely noisy engine now quiet. Here's how I did it.

    Now, I'll start by saying that I'm sure everyone on here has their opinions are certain products, brands etc, so I'm not trying to turn this into a this is bad, this is good, typical conversation when it comes to oil, additives, etc. I just simply wanted to document what I did and the results...

    Changed out the sending unit, oil pump, and pickup tube o ring, pressure is exactly the same as it was. Installing a mechanical oil pressure gauge down at the filter in the next few days, so we'll see what that says.

    LUX amp in today, sounds great. Got a new HP/HV oil pump installed and still dealing with low pressure, so I might have a 6.0 swap coming in the future. Sucks cause the truck runs so beautifully. Oh well. New exhaust coming this week :beer:

    Any issues with lux upgrade with aftermarket head unit?

    Update Went ahead and ordered a LUX amp off ebay. Moved some wires around at the amp and it's good to go. Running an Android nav unit with the PAC module and it interfaced perfectly with the LUX conversion. The LUX amp sounds incredible compared to the premium Bose. Noticeably more power, and...
