Default Im back. Bunch of pics.

Well its been a month or so Ive not been on DB. Been to busy with finals and work. But I thought instead of a bunch of posts about what all I did to the truck Ill just make one super giant post.

First off I finally got my sound system installed to the truck.
A sony Headunit with usb and aux inputs
6X9 Rockford fosgate 3 ways in the doors
6.5 Rockford fosgate 3 ways in the back doors (I bit to big but I made the speaker opening bigger with a saw zaw.)
2 MTx 10's in a thunderform box
and a 1000 watt alpine class D amp

Next I replaced the interior lights with LED's. Also found a write up on cummins forum on fixing the map light switch so I did that to. Its soooo much brighter I can now see the floorboards at night.

Next I had the Radiator go out on me. The drivers side tank cracked from top to bottom. So I had to buy a new one. Also flushed the system.

While pulling out the old radiator I found 307,000 miles worth of blow by on the back of the radiator. So I also made my blow by tube go to the frame.

Lastly I plasti-diped my wheels. This stuff is great. Super easy to put on stands up to anything and if you don't like it it will pull off like tape.
