Thanks guys!

I'll have to find out what's in it for a lift pump. Unfortunately it's an automatic, but the transmission is rebuilt within the last year and has beefier parts so it doesn't slip.

Anyone have any idea what an "isolation module" does? There appears to be an aftermarket one mounted ontop of the fuse block under the hood, I haven't researched anything about it yet but maybe someone here knows?

It's a module that's used for isolating. Hope that helps.

does it look like this?



if so, your truck was a plow truck at one point in its life, with either a western, or a fisher plow on it. take a hard look at your front end parts......... thats probably also why the transmission was rebuilt. truck probably had anywhere from an 8' to a 10' plow on it. they arent light by any means. my 2012 8' hd fisher mm2 weighs about 717. my old mm1 weighed 850. not fun on your front end parts. truck may have had a sander in it too.

Yeah, it looks very similar to that. I recon it probably was used as a plow truck real early in it's life, but it's very clean for the year so I don't think it was used for long.

I have HID's for the fogs, just didn't feel like installing them yet. Now that I have the headlight pinned out correctly (9007 and 9004 HID kits use the same harness, and they are pinned to a 9004 by default. I had this harness installed in my Durango, and that was 9007 so I had repinned it for that)

they didnt come out with the isolation modules like what you have until just a couple years ago. 4 port isolation modules came out in 2002, or 2003.

some plow trucks can be taken care of. its all about the maintenance. if it was taken care of, then it will look nice when its retired.
