Hey, guys. Haven't posted here in a while. If anyone remembers me, I wanted to just give a quick update on what is going on with my truck. Over these last couple of years, I grew to 6'5". The truck was much smaller to me than the first day I sat in it. When my brother turned the driving age, it only...

I have noticed on a sunny day that I have very noticeable swirl marks in the paint on my truck. I noticed it after I polished my truck with an electric polisher. I figured it was just a temporary thing and it would go away, but it has been a couple of months and it is still looking as worse as it wa...

I have just found out that I was misinformed on my options. The good news is that the cheapest option is the most convenient one for me. A used engine with almost the same amount of miles! I have decided to keep the truck. I'm in too deep to let go of it now. The engine swap should be done in two we...

nebby58

Just got word today that a problem with my truck's engine would require a complete rebuild to fix. Looks like this is the tipping point. I can no longer keep it. Thanks to all of you who have helped me with the projects I have done on it, I really appreciate your help.

nebby58

At first I had a magnaflow muffler, but that didn't give me the sound I was looking for. So I went with a y pipe to replace the muffler.

nebby58

Chrome it up!!! if that's your style. Though, after looking at some of my friends cars, I've seen that a little goes a long way. I ran into your same problem the first time I bought my truck. I tried a dual exhaust, but that kind of got some negative feedback.

nebby58

I bought a set of BAK bed rail caps to cover up some damage the former owner left behind. They do not fit properly, and I think it is time for a change. The only problem is, this is the only company I can find that makes the caps for the crew cab. What do you guys have for bed caps? Here is what I h...

nebby58

Well, I'm about 1,000 miles away from an oil change. Just got done. I think I put too much in the gas tank, because at first it didn't want to ignite. This will NOT be the last time I use this product. Everything in the engine seems well lubricated now.

nebby58

Is an oil change necessary for sea foam? I read somewhere that it is not necessary, but I trust you guys more.

Mine's an '01 too. I was 6 when it was made

its all about the ipods.

I have a 2 inch BL and a T bar crank. I want to give my truck the wide stance look. What is the largest size spacer that will fit? Where is a good place to buy these?

nebby58

I have a custom sub box. There is a company you can order it from for this vehical. http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy36 ... 8360_a.jpg

nebby58

Tape player? That's before my time!

I'm glad I don't have one. It should be pretty simple. Thanks for the advice!

nebby58

I tried. How many screws hold it to the ground? That might be a good saturday project.

nebby58

mine is a panel too. It fell threw the hole and now I don't know how to get it back out.

nebby58

Anyone know where to buy the piece that fits in the back of the console? I don't even know what I would call it.

http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy36 ... gpiece.jpg

nebby58

I did it! It wasn't easy but I now have the same set up as sonoma4x4. It was a week long project, but the y pipe is on now and sounds great. You're right, it does sound deeper in person.

nebby58

Lookin' Clean!

With the right power tools... I have blisters on my hands, but just got off the muffler today.

i just run a Y pipe. . had a flowmaster but want loud enough for me i had it cut out a y pipe put in in place of it its a lot deeper sound with just the y pipe sounds alot better than my flowmaster did and i checked 0 to 60 times with the flowmaster vs the y pipe and the y pipe gave me better 0 to ...

nebby58

Ok. So an 3" OD will fit outside of a 3" pipe.

nebby58

Where did you get the leather seats?

nebby58

Not to hyjack your thread, but what does ID and OD mean when trying to measure the pipes?

nebby58

I used to have a thrush glasspack. They are all really the same. It will make is sound like a motorcycle at idle. Not incredibly loud, but it is a v6 engine. I'm running a y pipe and duals (incomplete) right now.

nebby58

Nice choice in the Cherry Bomb muffler! I had one of those for a while. Great rumble sound!

nebby58

Yeah, I tried the air can trick. I even tried the Pops a dent. That price seems pretty reasonable.

nebby58

The high school parking lot has taken a toll on my truck. I was just wondering if anyone has a fix for door dings? Also, what would a shop charge to take out a few?

nebby58

Ok. I have the y pipe but they gave me a inlet of 3" and I needed 2 1/4. Should I get a fitting?

nebby58

you could try this http://www.xtralights.com/s10_2.aspx

nebby58

i got some clears for fogs on ebay a while ago, paid A LOT for cheap chinesse crap. But they work. accidently dropped the grill taking it off once, broke the cheap chinesse fastener... Consider what I said in our correspondences. The money youll sink into it could go a long ways else where. Agreed....

nebby58

Buy a headlight and turn signal set if you are going that direction. Try to buy from a reputable dealer, also. I bought a pair of crappy taillights off of ebay and they leaked water every time I took my truck through the car wash.

nebby58

Straight piping the C.C. but can't really find a place where the exhaust y pipes are stocked. I have a single turned dual exhaust, so I need a y pipe to convert the pipe. Every store I went to said they did not stock them.

The new ones use that 3M tape. They'll be on there in minutes.

Tape on looks fine if installed correctly.

Are you going to go rugged or flashy? A friend once told me to pick the side of the fence your going to go quickly or you'll end up with a mismatched truck.

nebby58

thanks

nebby58

Opened the tailgate without "thinking" and one of my cables snapped. I got the replacement at O'reilly auto but I can't seem to get the bolt off the back. The instructions say to drill or grind it off. Any experience with this?

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

What I'm worried about is a place where I messed up on touch up paint. I also applied wax with a very fibery town and I have a lot of little fuzes under my wax that I cannot seem to get out.

I have a friend who wants me to enter a few car shows around the area. I would be competing in the high school competition. I don't know a lot about car shows, but my friend has a lot of experience with these things and says I have a good chance of winning. I just wanted to know some general things ...

Yep! Brought out the shine in the two bumbers that have faded. For $7 you can make your those things look like new.

I went down to O'reilly auto to pick up some Shine On. They said they did not have it, but gave me a product called Back to Black instead. It is the best cleaner I have ever used. It worked great on the door panels. Even took out the hard water spots inside of the doors. :whew: No white residue when...

I've always had a problem with people multi-tasking and driving. For crying out loud, you can get a bluetooth headset, at Big Lots, for 10 bucks. Instead you sit at a 4 way stop with 3 other people that can't hit the turn signal, to give you a clue about their intentions, because they are talking o...

Update: wires in the transmission that control the shifting were broken. The car tried to start in the third gear when accelerating after a stop.

Yep. Gotta buy the leftovers from the last model year to get a deal. They are very fun to drive because you don't have to worry about falling on them.

nebby58

The new Can-Am spyders are really stable and fun to drive. If you have a Can-Am dealer in the area, they usually let you test drive them.

nebby58

Yep, they work pretty good if you install them correctly. I have a picture of them in the reader's rides thread. it is under Not otherwise specified. The install is about 2 minutes. My truck is the last one on there. Make sure that you line them up correctly, because the 3M tape is going to be hard ...
