    I just sprayed the inside of the frame that is boxed in towards the front of the truck with Internal Frame Coating. Hoping to prevent any future rust. I'm going to paint the rest of the frame with some Rust Bullet. I used the Rust Bullet on my old Dakota and it kept the frame rust free.

    Changed plugs today. These were in longer than they were supposed to be at 58K. Plug gap had expanded to .050 -.052 due to wear. NGK's electrodes were well rounded compared to the Denso's.

    I installed Denso PKH20TT Platinum TT Spark Plug
    s. They were a buck less than the coppers which I would have to order. WTF is up with that? :rolleyes:

    There's not enough bandwidth for what's happening.
    Nope. Completely stock including the pre-TSB springs. I'm still trying to decide what to do with the suspension.

    Tires are 265 75 16. Performed awesome in the snow today (6 inches with a lot of shoulder & between lane slop).

    Blacked out the badges, currently drying in the basement. The paint looks a little gritty, like sand paper, I hope they look ok. Either way they are going back on the truck tomorrow afternoon.

    just follow the instructions on the site and you'll be fine. be careful not to lose one of those metal clips when you pop it out, and be super careful not to snap the plastic ones off of the display screen. i broke one but it's fine. . . it was obvious which restrictor was out too. it was popped up on one side. did a shitty soldering job, threw it back in there and now it works fine.
