What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed a new O2 sensor. We'll see if that solves my P0420 woes. I'll go through the drive cycles tomorrow morning to see if I get the all clear for emissions testing.

Keep us updated I would like to know if that solves P0420... And how much did that one run for?
 
LED interior

Some LED interior for me last night.
Didn't switch the bulb on the radio cauz I'm going to get an aftermarket one.
Just forgot to switch the Defrost switch for LED bulb as well.

Still waiting for the Map light LED, should be in the mail box by next week!

Going to add some red LED bar for the feet when doors are open. Guess I will have to find the Door sensor wiring!

I changed the Clock color as well for red. No more green :reddance:

Have any pics of your truck with the old setup? You selling your old setup?

All the pics in my profile and albums so far are with the old setup. It is for sale on craigslist at the moment, as Id like to do the deal local if possible(Colorado springs). But I will be posting it on here if I dont sell it pretty quick. Ill check back with you, but am firm at $250 not including shipping which should be minimal depending where youre at. Itll give you 2- 2 1/2"
 
Put a magnet to it! Maybe your steel hardlines are corroding from the inside.

I did use a magnet and there are metal bits. Guess after 206k miles something has got to give. Maybe a new radiator is in order. I hear vs-9 or vc-9 from motor craft might help my situation and using distilled water is a good idea too. I also need to clean up the rear heater to get it functioning properly.

I replaced my valve cover gaskets. 5 hours later and no stinky burning oil. BIG THANKS TO [MENTION=56529]Jon[/MENTION] for his awesome write up on the task.

Power antenna switch!


15777156307_9bac9c4269_k.jpg


Is that what you have to do for an aftermarket head unit ? I'm about to put in a pioneer touchscreen one in and was curious with the power antenna about how it would work with the new unit. So is this what you need to do? Also if you have details on how to do this that'd be perfect!
Thanks
 
Had a known good power steering pump installed, 99 coils front and rear installed, and newer 265/75/16 Yokohama Geolander A/T-S. Rides so much better and no rear sag! :banana::guitar2::becky::cool:
 
Took my other ride out for a ride and then rode it on a local MTB trail.

What kind of bike rack is that? How expensive? I'm looking at getting a hitch mounted rack myself.

Looks like a saris rack. Correct me if I am wrong, they are made just up the road from me in Madison WI. They are ~$250 but for the price I prefer my Thule.

If you want the Cadillac of bike racks though take a look at 1up USA.

Some after market head units seem to have issues controlling the antenna properly. I have had several Alpine and the antenna always works with my 3rd gen. Different venders, different results.
 
Today I installed a brand new Uniden Pro CB radio with 40 channels, NOAA weather. I paired the unit with a 4' firestick (black) and all the accessories. Just need to learn how to tune the antenna. This is my first CB so I'm still learning.

Also went ahead and re-greased my new a arm bushings through the zerks and lubed the uniball on my total chaos uppers with tri-flow lubricant.
