What did you do to your Gen3 today?

Finally got all the push rods installed and the engine turned over about 10 times by hand to see if any would pop out. Got spark plugs and valve covers also on. Still need to prime the engine and stick the radiator back in.

that wood bezel would be a welcome change to my metallic bezal.....might be something waiting at a pic 'n' pull somewhere's

If you'd like the wood grain bezel, I'd trade ya for your silver one? And the matching door panel pieces.

Cleaned the snow off of it.
Haven't driven it in 2 days.

Got the ICE off the truck and finally decided to order new front wheel bearing/hubs. That means some quality time in the garage next weekend...

I really want that center console!! I have been dreaming of one of those for the last two years.

Crescent1101 · Jan 6, 2015

Where is the best place to buy replacement foglights for cheap? I ummm decided I didn't want a front bumper so they were a casualty. Already put on a new bumper but no fogs. I have a 2007.

Ordered my Flashpaq 3842 today and just received the new front wheel hubs/bearings.

Also ordered 20 new black anodized Acorn Bulged lug nuts to fit the new studs on the hubs. I race the threads on the rear ones as all of my studs/nuts are not going together easy.

Reattached driver window to frame since last night I tried putting my window down forgetting this lovely snow storm froze it shut and I popped it off.

Can you post more pictures of your truck from further away? I am thinking of doing my bumpers.

Were you able to turn the crank and unbolt the TC?

Today I filled up the tank at $1.99 per Gal. Can't remember the last time it was under two bucks.

Yeah I put a 9' long pry bar through the ctank pully was able to reverse it 1/2 turn just enough to get the other 2 bolts.

The truck is currently covered in Ice and Snow and it is -26°C (-15°F) here so I might wait for a little warmer day to get you good pictures if you don't mind...

Also the truck does not look its best as I have installed a Bed Cap just prior to freezing temps hitting us and have not had a chance to paint match it to the truck... Running a Patriot Blue Cap on my Garnet Red Pick-up... I'll get that fixed next spring when the outside temperatures are decent enough to allow me to work outside on prepping the cap...

I have added another one I had but not much better than what is currently in my albums...

EDIT :Well after looking around, here is another one I had taken for the Photo Challenge...

That should work better for you.

xb1230 · Jan 8, 2015

Oh and just for kicks... The real feel for today is -36°C (-33°F).

My little 4.7L still started like a champ... No misses, no hicups... VROOOMMMM...

I can't find one on the web...pm me your number and I can text ya pic tomorrow. If you have the console like I do, thats wear ya start....undo the screws in the console , then lift the cup holder rubber mats and loosen them screws.....that will allow access to the bezel.......It's been a while since I dug into mine , but I'm pretty sure thats how. 10 mm socket and a phillips screwdriver, may be a torx....not quite sure. :buffer:

Started on getting these off road wheels on my truck. I think this is the 5th oem set of wheels I've had on this thing lol. Needs some paint but will work for now, I'm just happy to be able to make a full lock turn without hitting my LCA

Because racetruck!
