Replace dash light bulbs. Change blower motor resistor. Fix tach. Reseal vacuum pump. Install case pressure gauge on injection pump. Move intercooler closer to radiator so the grill fits.

Well... I think I have some kind of flaws on my truck as well.

-The other reading lamp on the roof is broken
-One of the two bulbs, leds or whatever is done on the yellow marker on dually fender.
-Speedometers dimming wont work, I just found out that it has that kind of option... I think it's ok now, you can see gauges clearly being not too bright at dark.

- to bridge connect my subwoofers

And find out why my truck wont start at sometimes, it won't even try, completly silent, like you had a gear on, but it starts when you hit the steering column or the panel near it... Any thoughts on that?

And balance my rear driveshaft+ change everything on the front driveshaft...

Replace the Carter transfer bump that finally died...with a Walbro. That should move the fuel. LOL
Install the stereo pieces I have laying around here.
I need to fab up some steps as I have not yet found anything aftermarket I like.
Other then that...maybe add a Smarty and propane.

I rotate the six tires every 10K miles and do the oil and filters then too...which is about once a month.

My list would be longer than this thread if I put every little thing that I thought of in the time it took to read this thread. Come to think of it that's about how much I have done to it so far too. It never ends.

Exclamation The list!

I have nothing better to do so here goes: (in no particular order)

Fix steering shaft with Borgeson, new clutch, clock spring, cowl cracks, door hinges, door latches, power window over heats and locks up on passenger side, new steering end links and ball joints, rewire the grid heaters, fix info center lamps, paint and body work, freshen up getrag, valve adjustment, KDP kill, KTCB kill, shifter **** is wearing through the acrylic, glass is frosty due to a windy life in the mojave dessert sand box, battery is going hard to start sometimes, previous owner rat nested the wiring for every accessory under the sun!, speedo/odo don't work, tires are bald and mismatched, headliner is pealing away from roof at the rear corners, passgr. vent window is blue plexi, door handle panels are loose and feel like they will fall off each time you close the door, carpet is dirty and stained from smokers, weather stripping, new fan belt, AC needs recharge or conversion work to the new stuff ( R-134?), t-case has a leaky rear seal, parking brake does not function, I think I need to bleed the brakes, emergency flashers don't function, lugs don't match, plates are old and falling off, camper sucks!

"But there aint nothin wrong with the radioooo!!!!"

Stuff I have fixed: New AFC line (check 1st gen sticky! ), new u-joint's in rear shaft, GETRAG over fill, pulled a box of old accessories and wiring off that just didn't go any where!

Stuff I would like to change or add: 3rd gen seats, 4" skyjacker, tool box or bed cover, lazar smith bars? (product plug for XLR8R coming right up! ), TOYO open C-MT's, black steel wheels, BHAF, Stan's 4" kit or stacks? Full auto-meter gauge set (new custom dash?), electric fans?, winch and bumpers, interior cage, roll bar, pulse manifold, twins or bigger turbo, custom intake horn(s)?, tweaked pump, 3200 spring, bigger intercooler/tubes, big rig air horn, on board air system, air bags, snorkel setup?, dual optima's, paint, Sirius radio, goose neck ball and brake controller, steering stabilizer, upgraded axles? (shafts, ring/ pinion do I hear Dyna-trac? ) dual spare tire locking in bed carrier, full compliment of off road lights (all around), clearance lamps, propane, nitrous, water-meth (all 3?), boxed frame, new cab and power train urethane mounts, racing harnesses,

Ahhh, the list can go on, good thing these rigs last forever right? My son will be doing most of this list at the rate I am going!

Thats my list!

D-C out!
