    Tune up, than banging sound?

    Not at all, I definitely understand, I’m just going with the simplest solution first. It doesn’t make sense that the banging wasn’t there pre-tune up and just suddenly appeared when it’s not even being driven. Maybe the tune up enhanced the vacuum problem and I was mistaken hearing the exhaust...

    Tune up, than banging sound?

    @SirRobyn0 @sidschev … I think the banging was popping into the exhaust, on passenger side, but it also has vacuum problem. PO really screwed this thing up. These initial pics are what cap and rotor looked like when I replaced them. The last two pics are what I found as far as vacuum...

    Tune up, than banging sound?

    So, before I turned it off pretty quick because I was worried it was internal. Now I left it on for a while trying to figure this out, which I think it is the leak, but the truck started almost suddenly dying and I think it is backfiring slightly into carb. I just responded up above. I’d...

    Tune up, than banging sound?

    @squaredeal91 @sidschev - so I checked firing order and it was in order. Could a manifold leak at the block sound like that?

    Tune up, than banging sound?

    @sidschev @squaredeal91, thanks, I’ll check firing order. I drove it around the neighborhood just before the tune up and no banging, so maybe firing order vs. tq converter bolts. Thank you both. Dan

    Tune up, than banging sound?

    So, has not been driven hardly at all since I bought it. I finally did enough to get it on the road, in regard to minor stuff like steering box, suspension stuff. So, I went and got it inspected and noticed that it just feels so sluggish with acceleration, of course maybe that’s what 175hp...

    Squishy brakes- help!

    So, I also tried this and bled the brakes and started with furthest first, but it didn’t help much, if at all. I had just replaced the MC and that helped a tiny bit. What I did notice was that brake fluid would come out of the caliper only about a foot and then it wouldn’t matter how many...

    Problem with Lights, Dash and Tail

    What switch, Scott? My dash lights are completely out, but all my exterior lights do work. I was searching around and found this thread. Thanks for any advice, Dan

    Vinyl wrap is a lot harder than it looks on YouTube. Lol

    It was $300 for 5 x 50ft. So far, I think I’ll have plenty for all of it, but you waste a lot on each panel, so we will see.

    Vinyl wrap is a lot harder than it looks on YouTube. Lol

    It's definitely not perfect because of that area of the fender, but overall for my first time, it's pretty good. I think the sides of the bed will be a piece of cake.

    Vinyl wrap is a lot harder than it looks on YouTube. Lol

    That's what I did the first time and it make the line in the fender and the curve around the wheel well much more difficult to deal with. It pretty much laid in place starting from top this time. This vinyl goes on dry. It has some channeling system in it to make it easier to get the air out...

    Vinyl wrap is a lot harder than it looks on YouTube. Lol

    I thought this one would be easier and it was as I make sure to start from top, but that front corner is just impossible. Lol

    Vinyl wrap is a lot harder than it looks on YouTube. Lol

    Yeah, you have to have a heat gun. Yeah, it is a quick solution. All the wrap cost me just over $300.

    They say it will. Anywhere I have bare metal, I prime and sand first, just in case.

    Vinyl wrap is a lot harder than it looks on YouTube. Lol

    Definitely not perfect when finally done. The front upper corner of fender was a bi*%h. Lol

    14 Bolt Full Float / Semi Float Identification

    haha Thanks for looking out. It isn't being driven as of yet, so I will put those items on the list. I think I can find them at LMC.

    14 Bolt Full Float / Semi Float Identification

    I see, it was funny though. Maybe it’s a flip kit? Or, something that came with blocks? Idk

    14 Bolt Full Float / Semi Float Identification

    You’re paying attention to the wrong part of the pic, man. Lol Guys on here love to talk smack. Reminds me of the good ole’ days. You’d sh*t yourself if you saw pics of front suspension. Lol This is a pic from when I first bought it about six months ago, I think. So, I looked it up this time...

    14 Bolt Full Float / Semi Float Identification

    I was hoping, you know, due to the green paint that this was a 1 ton from an army truck. lol

    Anyone vinyl wrapped their truck?

    Nice. It seems like it would be pretty straight forward, but I wonder about the corner of the bed above the brake lights.

    Anyone vinyl wrapped their truck?

    I won't be using it as a work truck, but It will have a 5th wheel hitch back there. I'm putting in bed liner in that area. I'm still watching videos on it, but I'll get the wrap in next week and hope to do it next weekend. It does need a smooth surface, but from what I read it sticks fine on...

    Anyone vinyl wrapped their truck?

    For some reason this looks pale yellow, but interior pain looks tan, so I bought matte desert tan vinyl wrap. Was curious if anyone had wrapped their rigs. -Dan
