Can't win with this truck.
Now I need a radiator. Ugh...
Was about to do a little more work on the quarters and noticed a small puddle under the front. Seems like a small crack or seam separation on the tank. Maybe. Whatever. Need a radiator.

I cleaned up my little garage today - it was a disaster.

Also since it got cold again, my oil pressure gauge is acting up again.

Before cleanup -

Wired the Halo's on my fog lights so they come on when the ignition switch is on. Make good daytime driving lights.

How much did that jack set you back? What are the weight specs on it?

I bought the heavy duty 3 ton from Harbor Freight. $69-$79 depending on sales and coupon. Weighs over 70 lbs and has a greasable joint for the lift arm. Gets my truck off the ground in around 3-4 pumps(after initial contact). Most recommended Jack from there and I see why. Very good quality for Harbor freight.

took a few measurements to see what is the best way to mount the intercooler.

Maximumrisk - Looks kind of tight. Is there room for the inter cooler?

Like xtremewlr mentioned, there is a lot of room in front of the radiator, but i am also considering mounting it horizontally, almost perpendicular to the radiator and using a scoop. That way i dont have to touch the a/c lines or block the other coolers (transmission, power steering), i will see if it is at all posible. If not then i will mount it in front of the radiator

Picked up a Cortex tuner for truck. Updated it and went to use it only to find my truck has a non stock tune already in it.

Wonderful :emotions122:

So now need to go to dealer and get it flashed to stock. Just wanted to correct tire height and play with shift points. Like to punch whom ever owned this prior to me right in the throat. Put a tune in and not at least correct tire height or leave tuner with vehicle when traded in. Fn ******.

Ok I need a beer.
