Replaced the stock speakers w/ Kicker DS series. Kickers were too deep on the front, hitting the window frame. Spaced them out w/ 1/4" nylon spacers. Replaced the back speakers w/ new Kicker DS65 that didn't fit in stock hole so I drilled new mounting holes and spaced them out too. JVC head unit makes them sound great!

Also bought a SCT today. Just waiting for it to arrive.


And super nice score WR!!!!! I wish I could find one like that!

Thanks fellas. I am not sure what the plan is for this truck yet, other than get it running and drive it home. Redneck, if you are really that interested, PM me. My fiance would like it if I got rid of something...

Thanks man.. Im not having to pay for everything.. I got a buddy who has been wanting to build up a truck to take up to the mud bogs and the coal hills.. So we agreed to split the price down the middle and work on it together.. Told my cousin he has 30 days to get me the title or I am applying for a new one. Thats the first step before any work.

You have to remove the bed to change your fuel pump? On my 96 2500, I just dropped the tank, replaced the fuel pump, and put the tank back.

I don't get why people pull the bed either. I dropped the tank in my '93 and it was no big deal.

It had 2psi of fuel pressure at the injection pump, so I replaced the lift pump (thanks Jigabop for the cheap part). Now it is sucking air. I think it just needs fuel in the tank, because it is almost empty and sitting on a slight incline. So I haven't gotten it started yet.

The tool boxes and overhead rack are all removable. it is an out of commission work truck from the company I work for.

Oh yea, I got it for $1250.
Nice score. You going to keep it or flip it?

So I adjusted it out (to the rear) a good bit, still play in the cable. Is that normal?
I have play in my cable...shifts fine. It tries to hunt occasionally between 45-50 at low throttle, but oh well. lol
