    '87-'91 Headlights

    So the headlights are no good IMO. Good old fashioned sealed beams always seem to work better, at least than old style composites. I always liked the look of the ?'98? and later cheapo work truck sealed beam setup: So, I looked for some aftermarket stuff, and OF COURSE found nothing...

    Datcon Gauges

    Craigs List ad LINK So I know allot of us are in or near enough the PDX area. Looking at the DATCON web page, I think these look like a good enough quality. I don't mind the all business look. I really would prefer a back light gauge, but if $7 per gauge is a ?KILLER? deal, then I...

    SLOOOOOOOOOOOOW 0-70= 45 sec?

    OK, I HAVE driven an IDI truck in the past, but like 15 years ago, so I can't really compare mine to that. I just figured I had a slow Dorf pos and it was normal. Reading another post though someone mentions that even a non turbo IDI should easily pull a load up X hill without any trouble...

    CTS Turbo?

    I found a CTS turbo for $400. Supposedly complete, as it is on the truck now. It is a car dealership that has descided to part the truck out. It is about 250 miles from me, so i can't get a look at it real easily. I haven't heard of a CTS, is that anything good? bad?

    Chrome Trim

    OK, so I just got another truck and I noticed a difference. They are both XLT Lariat trim package. The '88 has chrome on the headlights, the '87 does not. I think I prefer the no chrome look. So are all '87 no chrome since it was the first year?
