Decided to jump back into this build thread because I have started spending more money on this truck recently ( thanks a lot @cruiseroutfit ).
Last week I pulled the driver door apart and replaced the window run, and lived the motor regulator assembly with EP grease. Also followed the fsm procedure to reprogram the motor limits, because it rolled back down on auto while my wife was trying to go through the carwash lol. Oem window run was an easy install. We had been having a random misfire when cold, but it never would throw a code . So I decided to pull plugs and such for a tune up. Several plug tubes were completely full of oil lol. The seals on the valve covers were so bad they had actually fallen into pieces. Pulled the valves covers and replaced both gaskets and tube grommets, new NGK plugs gapped per fsm and I have ordered new denso coil packs . Ouch. Also called Kurt’s team over at cruiser outfitters and ordered a timing kit. If you are a first timer (like me) order a thermostat and both the tstat o ring, AND the little square gasket that goes behind the water housing . These items do not come with the water pump kit, for some silly reason. Unfortunately my aisin water pump showed up destroyed in the box, cruiseroutfitters so supposed to send me a replacement . I also found some cracks in the intake tube that is likely where some of my “misfire” is coming from. Ordered a new oem tube, they’re a whopping 600 bucks but still available. Here’s some pics.
