You know.... Fetch... Sit .... paw....
The usual stuff....
Upgrades, additional touches (JB Weld), specifications you've called out / mentioned, etc.
You've done your homework, and I was wondering what reference materials you were reciting.

I'm a good dog and I listen well but have no owner to praise me or give me any treats for my tricks. On the list of pros and cons, that's a pro! For me....

How was the installation? Did you have to do much alteration to bolt them down? How do they fit the truck?
I need some new seats bad. I would prefer to have a 60/40 split bench, but I can't find one here. Ditto for Ramcharger seats that aren't too chewed up. I can find Durangos all day long at the salvage yards though.

Reindexed the throttle lever and now the idle is 100rpm too high. I'll have to work on that some more. Turned the star wheel up a turn. Did a lot for it. Smoke isn't anywhere near as bad and throttle response is excellent.

I'm really wanting to make gas-charged lifting struts work to assist in the lifting of my hood since the coil springs are worn out. There's gotta be a simple method for doing so. I have used struts from my dad's 3rd gen. Since my engine's out, I'm going to reassemble the front end with the hood on and see what I can come up with. I'll see if I can't capture one in its collapsed position to determine positioning when closed and the other, extended, for when open. All I would need then are some of the ball-end hardware they clip to.
