Removed the door trim moldings yesterday, got too dark to take an after picture, but here's what it looks like!:

Before:


After:


A couple little spots chipped the paint so when it warms up I have to go spray those white.

Ooooooo. I can see what's on the screen... but what is this used for? I see the MPG is this pretty much like what the newer cars have that show you done of this info in the dash? I've always wondered if you could install that haha..

This is used to monitor the vitals. 6.0Ls are very high maintenance so you want to make sure you can see the level of everything. For example, driving the truck you wouldn't think anything was wrong with it. After buying this I found out my thermostat is stuck slightly open as my ECT (engine coolant temp) only gets to about 182, and normal temp is 190-200. If you ever buy a used diesel, this is a great tool to have, I wish I had it when I bought my truck, but I got lucky and so far nothing is wrong (knock on wood).

As far as MPG, my truck already tells me MPG so this is just reading what the computer is saying. This also tells me my torque and HP which the truck doesn't tell me so it might be able to tell MPG on a vehicle that doesn't show MPG.

Blue spring has been installed, kinda.... After tearing everything apart I found out a blue spring was already installed lol. That explains the broken dipstick and zip tie on the fuel line....

For what ever reason all the photos are no longer working, not sure what's going on.

Fixed the photo for the blue spring, I guess TTG no longer supports Gyazo so I have to go back and re upload all my photos

Thanks TTG.... Real helpful....

I also decided I will not do ARP head studs unless the head gaskets blow. If they do then I'll do biggdogg heads, ARP studs and factory head gaskets.

Finally got some real tires on the truck Les Schwab bought out the contract for Toyo tires and there is no way on gods green earth will I ever spend money there again. I decided against the BFG's as they are fairly expensive and will wear faster. I ended up getting used Nitto trail grapplers, mainly because they were too cheap to pass up lol.
