This hog is sweet. But is not pleased about the cold and is currently getting double teamed.
This was the result of too much cranking with a stuck shut off solenoid. After a quick phone call to a friend, I swiftly facepalmed, flipped it up and it fired right up. Needed to do this the next couple starts as well, has been fine since.
Changed the oil, put on a new cone filter since the one on it was fucked and not really sealed. Not totally thrilled about using a cone filter or that the old wasn't sealed well, but oh well. $25 and it has a good air filter.
The tailgate is fubar'd and is ratchet strapped closed. Wheel well rust on the bed and big dent, 2lb body work and weld in patches will be the fix. Floors need attention but are not bad in most places. Hopefully get to that this summer before it gets worse. Rockers/cab corners really aren't bad. Plow is a mutt, maybe worth a couple hundred. Uniroyals on the bling wheels are 265 (32") and good tread. Gonna swap them to the stock wheels and sell the bling. Needs hard brake lines and at least one soft line to the caliper. Will need exhaust. 4.10s have me doing about 2300 at 70, didn't seem so bad once I set the cruise control. Hahaha
Overall, it runs great and doesn't need anything major to be a truck I'll be happy with for a long time.
I'm in love
