What rocker panels? ROFL. I have them in the shed brand new in the box, Just gotta get someone to weld them on. Any suggestions for what else to do to the truck?

No such thing as "cheap" 'round here.

Got any ideas how to remove the rest of the rust? Plenum is fine on it, will get a tune up later in the month, nothing wrong with the cat that I know of, wires have been cleaned up before I reinstalled the carpet

I removed the upstream o2 sensor and it seems to run better (also love the sound of it lol ) but it's producing this smell either like raw gas or something similar suggestions?

Clogged cat more than likely.


I said new cat, didn't I?


Usually a cause of plenum problem, although, your plenum may have been repair once before and the cat never taken care of.

If your cat is clogged, you will have a loss of power (falls on its face) somewhere above 3k rpm (it varies), fouling plugs no. 7 and 8, pretty much zero exhaust pressure behind the cat.

The way everyone test them around here is taking the truck cold, removing pre-cat 02 sensor, driving it for a minute and seeing if it drives better/revs at all.

If you don't have emissions, just hollow it out for the time being. Though you might throw a code, depends on your engine.
