Really have not much to report since my truck is bone stock at 85,000 miles, although I do enjoy reading about those of you who have modfied your trucks and now have problems. Just trying to keep the moderators happy by posting...

Funny I have the same problem, although my truck has over 330,000 and I tend to spend a lot of time reading the how to's.
I'm not much into modifying, or adding, but trying to fix up a little.
I need to replace my springs, and I've been spending a lot of time reading about that.

One of those guys eh.

Whenever you modify a vehicle you're going to have problems.

All of my problems have not been from mods. Maybe I need to do more and my problems will go away.

that. I'd rather be modding and have problems than be bone stock and have none.

A bone stock first gen is a dog, plain and simple.

My favorite mods are those that do the opposite. I like mods that increase reliability, serviceability, workability, driveability, and longevity.

Fix it till its sound. Mod it till it breaks. Repeat as necessary?

Yeah, items like the kdp fix, steering box brace, free flowing exhaust, piston LP, flywheel input shaft BEARING, etc are all FIXES that the OEM didn't do because of cost or otherwise. Those are the best. Go fast mods are cool but then again if I wanted a ground rush, motorcycles and dirt bikes are cool too.

No news is good news I guess.

Didja get an email or something? That stuff is automatic, we aren't going to revoke your membership if you don't post or anything.
