    fuel system

    today i purchased my first vehicle that doesnt sport a blue oval: an 05 2500. the truck is clean and solid. but its very readily apparent that the fuel system was not cared for. the fuel filter appeared to be the original and was completely black, the high pressure pump is likely on its way out...

    custom white face gauges. better the second time around.

    well, today, i took the gauges outta my truck, yet again. last time, i used sharpie on the numbers and whatnot, and under the laredo sunlight, they faded very badly over only a couple weeks. so i redid em, and actually used paint this time. they are now the same color as the needles. while i had...

    911: NO START!

    my truck has been runnin fine. all of a sudden, today, i go out to it, and the starter seems, not quite as spunky as usual. drove it to the parts store to get some new, brighter marker lights, and when done, it seemed a little more than just not spunky. came home, decided to go to mcdonalds...

    custom white face gauges.

    it took a few hours, silver and white spray paint, a blue sharpie, metalic blue, turn-signal amber, and red model paint, a very fine brush, and 3 trips to 5 different parts stores with no gauges to find the right lights, but here it is. i swapped the speedo out for one from another truck...

    tach issues.

    so my 84 has a factory tach for its 6.9 (or at least the cluster :confused:) but it doesnt work. if you hit the dash, it wiggles a little bit, then dies and goes back to zero. on FTE, i was pointed to a conductive glue on the back of it, that needed to be scraped off. SO, i took the cluster out...
