Can anybody give me their experiences/advice on front lockers. I'm really torn as for who to go with. I've been doing a lot of searching for this last week but so far it hasn't helped me settle on what to choose.

A little interior work today. Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been saving up for a big purchase on the truck and I'm almost there. I do however get to strike through another item! Which I might add feels very satisfying.
2. Shifter boot tattered (Remove/Replace - Only place I've found them is on Ebay)

Thanks man. They are a little stiff but they come with an option for an inflatable bladder which you can adjust for lumbar support which is real nice. I think they will break in and become more and more comfortable.

Seats look great.
I was in the same boat with the shifter boot. Only place I found was also ebay. Mine was so nasty and crumbling apart. Sadly the ebay one I got has developed some tears at the seams like it was just a hair to tight when made.

Did you get it from the same guy as me or someone different? I've found there are 2 different guys selling them on eBay. I actually have 2 in my possession. One from each seller. Reason being is that I ordered the 10.5" one first not realizing that there are 2 different sizes. Not only did it not fit correctly but it also was clearly made cheaply and I bout would have lasted very long. That is when I ordered this other one from this other seller. It is much better construction and actually sewn where as the other one just was held together by adhesive for the most part.

I will have to go back and look to see who I got it from. Mine is sewn all over but looks as though it just needed about 1/8' more material on it to make it not stretch so much. It still looks great, just developed a tear at two seams.

Right on. Well I hope mine doesn't suffer the same fate. It was only 30 bucks though so if I get a couple of years out of it before it tears I wouldn't be too upset.

I'm still plagued by a rough idle after a warm start as well as the idle creep up and drop that I posted a video of earlier in the thread. I tried my first fix yesterday by burping the radiator to no avail. I'm wondering if I might have a bad ECU.
#118
Right on man thanks for the input. Do you have any dealings with spartans? That is what I have been leaning more and more towards.

Well I switched over to Synthetic today. Truck seems to be loving it so far. I have a question for the great brain tank of yotatech. I am wondering how it is that my EGR has not been deleted but yet there is no EGR on my exhaust? Pic for reference:

On a seperate note I realized today that one of the previous owners of the truck installed a T-Union in the coolant hose near the rear firewall of the engine bay. I know these are used for bleeding the coolant system my question simply is...what is the procedure for doing that? Here is what I'm talking about:

Doug Thorley header!!!LUCKY!!! Yea before the header was installed theyre probalbly was the egr tubes with your stock ex manifold...Therefore your that much further ahead if you wanted to do the egr delete.
