    As far as I know I am the 2nd owner and that nothing other than regular maintenance was done. I am under the impression most of the truck is Stock.

    Thanks! From poking around I believe I am in the right spot. I very badly edited some of my photos of what I think I need to remove but I have no idea on the 3rd photo what is going on there. Can't tell if they are going into the head or just the headers
