One set of injectors (4) have been rebuilt at least once. The other set were removed from a donor engine, nothing else known about them except they worked before the engine was pulled. The alternator is as pictured, not sure if the Vac pump is part of it. Can I take more pics to clarify this?

Do you have a reference for where you bought that extended front seat cushion?

That looks pretty sweet, but can't justify the dosh atm.

I'll check it out, @2001LC is the man, he's shared so much helpful info here.

@Malleus wow, thanks for the in depth explanation. I'm certainly more inclined to keep a fastidious transmission. I'll revisit mine at the next oil change and try the cooler pump method. I have noticed better shifting with the 4.5L that's been changed this far, so that is a relief. For now...

@Malleus I see your logic. I have read/researched the pros/cons of doing a full drain & fill vs a partial drain and fill. The wisdom I have heard regarding a partial drain has to do with the clutches in the transmission wearing over time and requiring more friction to engage. That friction...

I'll have a set of 53mm fronts with 15K for sale soon.... My rear adjustables are hosed. FYI: if you're rocking a heavy rig (aux fuel tank, rear dual swing bumper, kitchen, fridge etc) the rear shocks may not last all that long... Depending on how you wheel of course. Let's see if the...

How many miles would you say you drive in the 2 years between drain and fill, and in what conditions? I'm into my first drain the pan and fill interval - I drained 4.5L of 120deg ATF, and refilled with the same amount (Valvoline Maxlife) via dip stick. The truck is an 2003 at 221K. It was...

@MongooseGA Its been about a year since you've had these on. What's your updated opinion? Looking into these shocks , Slee and Radflo. I would love to hear your longer term impressions and if you found any tricks to deal with making the finicky adjustments.

Yes I do. 198K on the clock when removed , 2003 LC.
