noJeeps 2001 duramax Frank - new headlights
- Thread starter noJeepshere
- Start date
I am having him make a sticker for the front bowtie, just haven't decided on a design yet.
Hey, never said anything about signs and required lettering.Man that hurts.....
Got the headlight and taillight lenses back from the body shop guy at work, they weren't bad, but definitely improved.
I like the debadged look a lot, much cleaner appearance for minimal money and a bit of elbow grease.
I like the cleaner look too. But I kept trim you didn't, and you still have my #1 "get that off there" sticking point. They day I bought mine from the dealer, I had that 4x4 sticker, dealer name, and everything except the belt line door guard rubber removed before I would take delivery. I also left the Duramax fender badge on mine. So not as clean as your's, but I've been happy with it.
That 4x4 sticker is very difficult to remove and I don't mind it. And I'm going to relocate the duramax badges to this location on the fenders.
Yeah, I was really glad it was new, so no fade issue, and their body shop had to do the work! 
Looks good up there.

You should go all the way and take the 4x4 decals off too. Use a hair dryer or heat gun to warm the sticker up. You want it hot, but not so hot you cant touch it.
Chevy doing work. I replaced the thermostat housing on the Ford Ranger and now it won't start because of a communication error with the PCM. So now I have to tow it to a shop.

Busted the spring that holds the mirror in place while folding it, so I redneck fixed it until I can get me some towmeers.
Also did a 6 month check-up/grease of the undercarriage, all looks good.
Changed the oil today, installed Shell Rotella synthetic blend, it was only $18 a gallon at Wally Mart. We'll see if that takes care of the blue smoke problem...
Also changed out the rear output seal on the transfer case, and needed to replace both drain plugs. Well, the drain plug and the filler plug, whatever. Guess how much the replacements were? You're probably low, higher, higher still. Yeah, $20 a piece!
But... if it stops the final leak under this truck, it'll be worth it.

I agree leaks drive me nuts. I need to get under my k20 as the oil spots have started multiplying and getting bigger.
Fantastic. Gotta count my blessings though, as it snapped just as I pulled into my parking spot at work, could've popped while I was doing 70 on the interstate in traffic. Guess I know what I'll be doing on my break.
doh!
That sucks. I'd throw a new belt on at the same time.
Done.
Replaced what was left of the fog lights with new smoked ones
