Apllied more primer, and started block sanding the rear bed panel and spot primed the inner corners.
Finally started on the rear bumper, working out the last dents, then spot grinding. I'm gonna buy some emery cloth and strip the rest of it this weekend.

Went out and picked up new IAC, IAT, MAP, and TPS senors from autozone today. Yes I know I'm paying for the cheap duralast stuff but what the hell? They fit the budget better and have a 2 year warranty so if they fail, I get new ones for free until I decide to spend money for the oem ones, lol.

Pulled out a grown in 33 ft camper. Lots of fun. Truck didn't really flinch but had to get the trailer a rockin to get it to move. 3 flat tires grown into the ground for 12 years or more. Lots of stuff was in the way.

How much of that truck have you not sanded down and painted?

I've got a MAP, TPS and maybe a IAC that I can't even use just sitting in my center console that were attached to the throttle body that I modified because they're for a pre-2000 Ram and they have round pins instead of flat ones like mine. I ought to see if anyone wants them.

You should, that could net you a good little chunk of cash cause from autozone, all three of those senors would run you about $130 and those are of the duralast brand.

Installed all 4 of my new sensors today and rough idle is gone! Truck feels a little better now too.

Took off the steering gearbox and took it halfway apart to replace the pitman shaft seal and the side cover seal put it back togther and reinstalled, so far so good hope it fixes my gearbox leak if so saved me 200 bucks for a new gearbox
