Disassembled the dash and painted it all desert tan/black. It really didn't turn out as bad as I thought it might.... I'm thinking of venturing into the seats next.

When you write 'remote' do you mean the key fob or homelink?

Uhhhh, that spring is on the wrong side man. P/S means Passenger Side.

One of the front springs was a little shorter than the other and thinner diameter; weighed about 1 lb less, too. i'm guessing some DPO replaced the spring with whatever he had lying around. That explains why the truck has had a slight list to that side ever since I bought it



new 2in lift springs

All the original vapor plastic was still there actually. I just cut it off to start pulling the window regulators.
Its funny what breaks on one truck could last a lifetime on another.

Replaced rear shaft universals. Seven out of the eight cups & needles where fine. Only one had spit out its needles and was chewing into the cup.
