Yep, that's a fine looking truck. I wouldn't go to autozone for anything but Turtlewax, but that's just me. If you go to the vendors area of this website and ask for what you're looking for, I'm sure you'll get it.

You might also want to fill in those ugly holes on your A-pillar with more gauges! , (JK!!!)

And as for the POD's, there are plenty of better injectors out there... DDP's, SDX, Scheid... who else?

Im thinking by lookin at the paint lines your drivers side door may need new hinge pins. id check it just to make sure so it dont warp the holes in the hinge. great looking truck. good luck with everything

Hey snowboard, sorry for the late reply.

Well, I see Big Bad Diesel has a new line of injectors, and that's a mighty good price. If I was you, I would talk to them about what would best suit your needs/wants. IMHO, I'd go for the 6x0.010" or 6x0.012", but Brice will be able to help with the hole size. They aren't the only ones who have injectors of course, so also try SDX, (Southern Extreme Diesel) who I've heard lots of good things about.
My personal preference is for a 6-hole nozzle, as I believe more holes, (to a point) gives better atomization of the fuel. As fuel burns from the outside of the droplet to the inside, the smaller the droplet the faster it'll burn. Faster burn = less wasted energy. Less wasted energy means your engine runs more efficiently, i.e. better mpg's for a given power output. Hope this helps.
And again, that's only my opinion.

As for the brakes, if it's pulling to one side, it's likely the caliper is sticking on the pins. It's also likely the calipers have never been changed, so I'd go and replace EVERYTHING. Calipers, discs, masters etc etc. And yeah, DOT3 brake fluid.
