done fixed my fuel pressure gauge today...finally. lol damn it was scary driving without that not knowing if when I'm romping on it if my fuel pressure is holding steady, or if I got a problem... but shes still pumpin strong and holding solid pressures right where I want them.

Made me some new gauge liquid too. used to have green anti-freeze in there between the chemical isolator and the gauge...now I have my blue computer coolant mixed with rubbing alcohol (to lower the freezing temperature) in there. works great

Also vacuumed it out and cleaned the windows and cleaned the dust/pine needles off the dash.

Removed air dam, burped cooling system and removed all four tire then reinstalled them. Had a close call yesterday with a moron that decided to stop in the middle of the freeway and wanted to make sure everything was still tight. Coil spacers and ball joints arrived today so I'll be installing them Friday.

Your truck should look 2" taller without the air dam!

I just removed the whole stock bumper




Today I pulled the dash apart, connected a ground I missed before, connected the heater core anti-electrolysis strap (also missed before), and replaced sections of 4 wires that went to the cluster. They were smashed between the steering column and it's mounting frame. I must have been really tired when I re-assembled it last week. Now everything works as it should. I also put in a new stereo deck that I got for free.
