^ Nah I don't need a stock one I need one like you have. But I will take some of that budget since you are offering.

Ok haven't gotten to mess with the truck in several days but did get to do the on-off key code checker thing. Pulling 2 codes P0113 and P0118 they are both high voltage codes one for IAT and one for ECT. Any ideas on these I don't know what causes these codes.

In my haste to get my codes I did a quick search I only have internet on my phone at home modem issue, anyway the ECT (coolant temp) is not plugged in because I have aftermarket guage sender in it's place which is also causing a check guages light. The IAT is plugged in but I am having a stalling issue maybe related. What is also curious is my oil pressure sender connection is unplugged again because of aftermarket gauge but not code for it.

This is awesome. Nice to see that you've devoted it to your dad, and that you can make one kick-*** truck!

Good luck! Hopefully some of us can help you out along the way.

Quick update:

Purchased a new IAC Sensor and TPS sensor and gonna clean the throttle body just a little insurance to keep the motor well.

Also got my 180* T-Stat as well as time to drain the break-in oil. I got a heck of a deal I think 5 Quarts of Mobil-1 Extended Perf and Extended Perf. oil filter (got the bigger one) for $34 (oil filter was $12 by itself had I done it seperatly.)


I am going to do my Leveling Kit this weekend, to anyone who has done one. I put one on an F-250 a year or so ago and it made the front actually taller than the front. On our trucks do the leveling kits acutally level or will I get a little "prerunner" look?

Bout at the end of my rope. Both sensors replaced still giving me a problem starting. Replaced T-stat still overheating. The oil pressure didn't drop below 44 which is an improvement. Should the metal piece inside radiator cap be loose when it is off? How can I tell if radiator is bad? Also I noticed when the engine is off the fan is hard to turn by hand which I found odd. Just tired of spending 100 bucks and 2 hours and getting nowhere.
