    Awesome, thanks for the feedback! I went ahead and placed an order with them, so excited to finally be getting parts so I can work on my truck again. It's like Christmas all over

    Does anyone have any experience with 1aauto.com ? I've heard through the grapevine that they are reputable and have great customer service but I just wanted to see if anyone on here has dealt with them directly.
  3. Kinda annoyed that I can't get a profile pic to work.

  4. How are things on the trip? I'm looking forward to the day I get my pathy ready for an adventure of this caliber.
  5. Wishing I had more money so I can get get back to working on my truck :/

  6. If you do this definitely post some pictures and tell us how it turn out, I've been tossing the idea around as a future project.
  7. Can't I catch a break, finally got the major things fixed and now my break lights decide that they want to come on and stay on.

      There's a bung that goes on the brake light switch (the pedal hits it when it's up) and those tend to break off.

      Wow this took me forever to reply to, anyways that was in fact the problem. Something similar happened to the clutch petal (drove fine down a super bumpy road then wouldn't even try to crank later when I wanted to leave.) I just jerry-rigged both and now it's all good.

  8. Maybe it does, I'm not extremely familiar with exhaust systems. It has two pipes leading into one metal oval that I assumed was one cat but I guess it could just be a housing for two cats and has one exit pipe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I'm all the way on the coast right now so that wouldn't work, but I really appreciate it though. Y'all have fun at that mud bog! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. I just got mine so I'm not sure what's setting the CEL off, I gotta go get it read by a friend of mine but I'm hoping it's just the filler cap not sitting right since that's such a cheap and easy fix but who knows.
  11. Ah yeah I forgot about all the O2 sensors in the R50's I just bought mine and I'm used to WD21's.
  12. We'll I already have the first problem and my state doesn't have emissions testing but I guess that idea is a no go, oh well. I wonder what make the check engine light come on.... Reduced back pressure maybe?
  13. Since it's a duel in single out I'm thinking of doing a true duel all the way back and just buying two catalytic converters some more piping and then two mufflers. Anyone ever done this or have any thoughts?
  14. Changed the spark plugs (even number 6), wires, and distributed cap they where the original ones and at 180k there was nothing left of them. Then changed the fuel filter, which was also factory and the gas that poured out was so brown and nasty. Now it idles about 1k less than it used to.
  15. Replaced the gasket on the right side valve cover, changed the oil and oil filter, put a new air filter in, and pb blasted the top of all the spark plugs to soak over night.
