LOL...thanks man.

I always clean and paint whenever I work on something. I hate working on dirty, greasy engines. It just makes it much nicer next time you have to get in there. Been doing that since my first car when I was a kid.

I just put in a front leveling kit and new sway links and bushings on Saturday.

It does look good. As I have been working on mine, I have painted the engine bay, parts of suspension and frame, radiator support.....wife thinks I am getting addicted to paint fumes! But I like it neat and clean as well!

That looks good. How much you charge to make up another one of those fan mounts?

Looks good. Somehow removing the OEM shroud and opening up the engine bay makes it look better! Good fab job!

Thanks guys. I like how it turned out. LOL...it took me a month to finally finish that one.

Truck WAS running GREAT until tonight when I turned down my street on my way home it started missing really bad and smelled bad from the exhaust when I parked. It is idling rough and has a consistent miss throughout the RPM range. I let the truck cool from operating temp and tried to restart it. It started on the 2nd try and ran really rough. No CEL was on. I pulled the batt cable for 30 sec and restarted the truck. It seemed to run a little better but not much. Still had the miss. I guess I will have to check it out tomarrow.
