I have many plans for this. Lift, body lift, bumpers, tires, spacers, etc.

First I have a vacuum/driveability issue.

Jan '25 - New fuel pump, new fuel tank pressure sending unit, New blue silicone vacuum lines that need some cleaning up (this fixed most of my 4x4 issues) and a used map sensor that I had lying around the shop off a 06 2500HD 6.0L.
New and old fuel pumps.

My old fuel tank pressure sending unit.


Feb '25 - Ordered the fuel spider, manifold gaskets, O2 sensors, 2.5in Rough Country lift kit.

02/05 - Loft kit and mani gaskets

New alternator after a weird ride home.

Damn thing was only putting out 11ish volts then magically started working again. I was 50 miles from home and the only alternator I could get was there. So away I went about 25 miles out I pulled over and stopped. Bad idea cause the volts dropped and slowly dropped all the way home.

The old alternater wasnt grinding with the belt on but when i pulled the belt and spun it, proably the worse ive ever seen and still working-ish.

Finally have all the parts to do my lift. Lower ball joints and bushing I've been waiting on are here. The plan is to start Wednesday night. And have it done by the end of Friday.

I still have to work and we're on long hrs starting Wednesday. Plus i have to make the 50mi trip to walmart, most of which is down a dirt road, tomorrow.

Finally got the lift on and made a run through the playa.

Smooth ride and better looking than I hoped.
