I have a 3 inch body lift and done a few cranks on the torsion bars to level it. I have painted the front and rear bumpers but now i have some orange peel on my cab roof that will soon need painting.

 

Exhaust smells normal. Actually smells great for the age of the truck practicly no smell at all.

 

Funny...I actually just repainted the roof of my truck a few weeks ago. If it's the orange peel that you're worried about, and if the paint is okay otherwise, all you really need to do is get 1000 and 2000 grit wet sanding paper and lightly wetsand the clear coat until all the haze is even with no spots...that shows the orange peel is gone. All you really need after that is a buffer and compounds.

I'll find my thread and post it for ya. My clear coat was falling off and the only way to fix it was repainting it. I actually used rustoleum paint and mixed it to my PR4 color. I already had a compressor and so I got myself a paint gun and after a long time with patience and prep work...got a nice clear coat to finish and it's very smooth!

The pics are actually out of date because I actually did get a high speed buffer and the scratches are all eliminated.

 

Your truck looks like sex.

 

When was the last time the distributor cap was replaced then? might just be a burnt point.

 

Cap is probably 2 weeks old.

 

haha got me then I'm all out of ideas.

 

Update: This weekend I took off the distributor cap, cleaned the terminals, checked the distributor bearing which was good then re-routed my ignition wires to prevent cross-firing. I also unplugged the rear o2 sensor thinking my aftermarket cat was throwing off the reading. This worked great for about 2 days then the light came back on. This time it showed cylinder 1,2,4,5,8 misfire. So tomarrow im resetting the code and putting the o2 back in to see if i can get the code back down to cylinder 8 misfire. Any input? Im seriously considering the msd ignition.

 

That is a nice rig u got there. Cant help I would have done the same.

 

FIXED!!!! Finally got the ole timing light out this weekend and found my timing to be off a good 5 degrees. So i marked the distributor housing and cap, loosened the distributor hold down clamp, turned cranked to TDC and aligned the rotor button to number one cylinder. Truck has no more check engile light and will bark the tires from a standstill. Runs even better. Im glad i finally found the problem afeter spending no telling on parts. Thanks for the help guys. Ill be uploading some more pictures after i go wheelin!
