Some of my rock crawling buddies have small flatbeds that they've incorporated rollbars or even full exocages into ..... you know, if you have a hundred or more feet of pipe laying around.

What codes yeah gettin? Ive had p0132, p0135, p0138 and p0141 for ages. Replaced a bad ground connection at the batt and theyre gone for now. Not enough time driven to see if theyre gonna come back though. Ive also heard of a bad ignition coil causing the codes to. For the record my o2's were brand too and still gave those codes.

Installed the valve body kit and tightened the rear band which was ridiculously loose. Installed the new filter and called it a day. Im so tired of this transmission.

im getting every code you can think of for o2s. i know im getting the ones you mentioned, as well as a couple more i think.

it would make sense because i put a used coil in it when i was trouble shooting our old jeep.

my grounds on my batteries are fine. they both are clean and tight. batteries are 2 years old.

ill figure it out someday!

im going to be into the bed about 500 when all said and done. its going to look something like this...

http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/d...d-t304614.html

its obviously going to be shorter as thats an 8 foot bed. going to be the same width. minus the back rack as im going to somehow incorporate my current rack into it.

no roll cage, just stake pockets, and wooden sides. me and my buddy are going to be going into the cord wood business.

hes getting the same flatbed on his as well. he has a 99 1500 completely stock though.

Changed the high pressure power steering line today. Has been leaking for over a week now but didn't feel like doing it in the cold and today was pretty nice outside. Didn't give me too much trouble.

I got my steering box stabilizer brace whatchamacallit in the mail today. Given that Chicagos weather cooperates, I'm installing it on Saturday
