just want to start a thread that i will post eveything about my truck problems new parts ect. i just bought the truck a month ago or so maybe put 300 miles on it so far still finding out little things here and there wich ill get into. i havent had time to do much yet weathers just starting to get nice in mn
problem #1 bought a deck and install kit i guess im dumb or somthing for the life of me could notfigure out the kit for this truck so i rigged it in ther for now and i used some fancy butt conectors that dont work so i have one speaker right now going to rewire on wednsday.
problem#2 my defrost light pops on from time to time jus found out today when i hit the brake pedel it lights up opened my hatch nothing looks pinched doesnt mean it isnt going to look into that as well.
problem #3 was doing 60 on some back roads and hit a couple little bumps got some wobble in the front not bad but enough to be like what the hell was that
problem #4 its a 2001 should i just go ahead ad replace the head before i have a problem so far so good no fluid loss and evrything i can see under oil appers normal
problem #5 it feels like im always in 4 wheel i say that becuase when i trn like out of a parking space and pull foward the front wheels skid if you falow what im saying i used to plow and have felt it before in a ford 350 when it was in 4 whell or is just from a lift wich i still dont know what i have as far as a lift
good#1 payd a shop to put a flowmaster exhaust on sounds mean feels a litle more angry
im new to all this if you cant tell. i can fix just about anything that i know problem is i dont know everything feel free to chime in on any ideas or tips or laugh when i mess up i will update as i go and i will get a new wirless keybord becuease this is a pain to type buttons dont work.

Nice project. BDS lift of some sort is apparent. Looks like your suspension could use some refreshment.
Also, that swaybar--those endlinks look shot. Maybe look into getting quick disconnects for it, or remove the swaybar altogether like I did!
That stereo is obnoxiously bright. I made sure to research one that supported dimming and color changing before my purchase. Ended up with a Pioneer DEH6400BT and love it.
Good luck with the battery thing
