Sadly you can't trust anybody...
That's why I'm such a big believer in doing everything yourself.

I mean if it's under warranty definitely have the dealer take care of it. if it's not under warranty (like in my situation) I would do it myself. Blood Sweat and Tears, yes... An old man aching body afterwards, yes....
but knowing the job was done right, plus saving the cost of labor. Priceless [emoji5]

I am the same way for simple stuff. Considering I don’t have a shop, a trans swap wasn’t really possible in my driveway. I’ve got one that’s warranted for 3 yrs/100k.

Fo sho. I can do it. Just not the time or space.

There are some things that my time is more valuable for. I miss playing in a shop, and doing all the work on my own stuff sometimes, but I honestly don’t have the time or space. Besides, I’ve got a nationwide warranty on the trans since it JUST got a new one roughly 30-45 days ago.

I made the mistake of trying to play cheap on the last trans. Wound up $600 out of pocket for labor to swap in a used one, only to have to take it to the dealer for a new one...

What size lift do you have on your truck?


I know the voices in my head aren’t real, but man, do they ever come up with some great ideas

Installed a vp4 from eBay that I got a deal on. Still testing to make sure it's all good but it seems OK so far (has some issues getting GPS to lock but eventually it did)

I have been away traveling for work and then I was our anniversary since the first week of August I haven’t done much to the truck. Finally got around to installing an OEM third brake light with camera, since I bought it used I figured why not install a new gasket and wash the truck to see for any leaks. So far no leaks!

I did get a message on my dash brake light out initially, it went away after I drove it around for a little bit. Will I see this message again? Is there something which needs to be enabled on my truck? I am in the process of having the harness made from DeereGuy

Well I did not take any pictures......but we went to the drive in movies.......first time doing that with the pick up - was a perfect time!

I think your avatar pic will suffice :)

No drive-ins around here but with a full BedRug in the bed I bet it would be a blast. Couple lawn chairs and a cooler of beverages.....

It's a Rough Country 6 inch lift, with Bilsteins set at 2.8.

Bilsteins are being replaced soon though because I have a lean to the driver side front of about 1 inch. I'm putting on the Rancho QLL front shocks.

I went with an inflatable mattress in the bed with some pillows.... was a great fit and a fun time......
That's exactly what I did. Then open the back window and pump up the volume!
Don't forget to start the truck in the middle of a double feature or you'll be sorry LOL [emoji23]
