I’ve been driving the beast daily, with no further issues. This weekend, I finally got around to putting the new rear bumper on, and cleaning up the surface rust on the hitch and rear frame.

Working on replacing the “clunky” overdrive controls. The heavy old school high beam floor switch is what Gearvender gave me for a on/off switch. Got a replacement knob for my column shift and carved it out and put a TCS froma late model “furd”
Did Front shocks and Swaybar bushings tonight!
this truck is beautiful, nice work.
Thanks, this is my first time messing with a 2x truck! I usually go up, not down! So much more I want to do, but this is now my Daily Driver! got rid of my New(er) Dodge~! No payments!
Not sure how much experience you have with the Gearvendor. Make sure to change to oil in it every 6,000 miles +/-. I run this oil in mine. They hold just about 1 qt. My brother in law used to own the truck I have with one and it had the GV in it for it's entire life and he had to replace it a few years ago due to it wearing out. They do not like backing up with a big heavy ass trailer and steep mtn campsites. He said after seeing inside of one that he is fairly confident we could rebuild it ourselves if we ever have to again. Apparently they are pretty simple inside.
Exactly what I used!! And yes, I have an extra bottle!
I like this truck!
I decided to have my Buddy do the rear springs and drop for me. Without having torches, I think it would have been to much to deal with right now. So new 1/2 ton springs are in. 2”. Drop shackles on, and new shocks. Dropped it 4” total! And it rides so much smoother!! I asked him to send me pics during the work, but he only took a couple! 1 front spring bolt nut was rounded. So he welded a Snap On wrench to it ! But that’s done! I still have air bags to install to give me some payload back.
i like my 22-547 springs for 56" eye to ey . there light 3/4 ton and still hold a lot but ride good . people riding in my k30 cant believe its a 1ton 4x4 .
hope he didnt charge you for that wrench . . .

My big upgrades this weekend! LED marker lights from Classicparts. and a K&N filter! Progress is slow as I’m breaking down the shop to get ready to move. Still have to put the Airlift bags in before I move.
I like those led lights.
Put new taillight lenses on and swapped in LED bulbs.
Had her out working. First couple times out with loads. Pulls ok. Definitely needs more power! The overdrive worked great! But with the added weight, I could feel the front brakes pitching a bit. Got a list to do on her this weekend!!
That’s looking real good sir! I like those LED upgrades too.
All new front brakes! Had a caliper that was sticking. Warped the drivers side rotor. Replaced brakes pads, calipers, Rotors, and hoses, which were bent completely wrong!
Airlift bags finally installed.
Removed the air pump. It was hooked up and was noisy anyway. New belts and hoses. PS lines. And an oil change!

dont scrap the pump . lots of cali guys looking for these now and then and pay good money for them .
I scrap nothing! Everything I’ve taken off, I’ve saved. Except the rear springs.
