Some people here keep calling me out to make a build thread, especially since I've got a big project coming up once finals finish up. I'll post pictures as that goes down. As she sits, she has a 3" lift on 33s. I redid the interior, used to be a construction truck so I took all that out and got lariat seats, dash, and door panels, put new carpet in.. New speakers and radio head unit.
I just ordered new cylinder heads to put on, new head gaskets and ARP headstuds, bulletproof egr, new oil cooler, coolant filter, and a new ICP sensor. All that to go on in the next few weeks.

Re: 6.OH
Im glad I could help! You'll be happy that you started a thread further down the line when you can look back and see all you've done.
Can conquer anything in my path with my yellow turd. My truck doesn't burn oil it burns transfer cases at mile marker 187. My truck doesn't get dented it simply molds to it environment becoming faster and more agile. Patches is made from fence posts that were used to keep in the monsters from hell. Patches doesn't have horsepower, it has god power. Patches doesn't drive over rocks, it forces them beneath it because it is superior.

Re: 6.OH
First bought the truck and it had vinyl seats and floors. The door panels were plasti dipped and were peeling badly. I had to take all of that out, deal with the rusty spots on the floor, and then install new carpet. Found some lariat seats on ebay and a set of lariat door panels and dashboard on craigslist.

2 UCF machine shop cylinder heads
OEM head gaskets
ARP headstuds
Bulletproof EGR cooler

Re: 6.OH
I forgot to mention that all this occurred in my driveway in below freezing temperatures over the course of a month or so. Definitely miserable some days, but ended up being very worth it. At one point I dropped a bolt in the engine block and had to fish it out with magnets duct taped to a borescope.

Re: 6.OH
Lol, that's always a good feeling.
Looks good, that's a big job to do in your driveway. Did you end up tuning it or anything?

Re: 6.OH
Forgot to mention I have a SCT X4 tuner for it. Just have it on the performance tune right now, nothing crazy. There are a few more issues I'm trying to work through. There's an exhaust leak somewhere, and something up with the suspension in the front that I need to figure out.

Re: 6.OH
Think its about time to post an update on the truck: it's dead. Quit on me about a month ago and drained the oil to find metal shards all over the place. Something got ground up pretty good. My parents have been letting me borrow an extra vehicle to use until I figure out what to do. Been going back and forth between parting it out/selling as is/dropping something else in it. Currently leaning towards parting and just moving on. It'd be 4k minimum to get a new engine in there, and potentially more of a pain than I'm wanting to deal with right now.
