[QUOTE="GAPMAN, post: 28549, member: 15286"] Since this is actually an introduction Post i probably should tell you more about my truck. As you guys mentioned it is looking good, but that's just the outside. The dutch really should not own tools, i had to fix alot of wiring since they badly installed cheap amazon head- and taillights. Same applies to the aftermarket android radio, the wiring was hurt, data-BUS wires untwisted causing my left speaker to buzz. The list could go on... I stated it was stock, but i did improve minor technical aspects though. - slightly larger front disc brakes, swapped to the 2WD versions which fit plug and play with new calipers (i am not pleased with the quality of AC-Delco calipers) - added a Webasto 5.2kW water heater to eliminate cold starts. Problem is, it preheats to 140°F which causes DTC P0116. I reduced the preheating time to 20mins and then start it again manually once the engine is running. This decreases the temperature difference between coolant and airtemp sensor so it does not set the code. -coated the underbody with FluidFilm major repairs so far: -new rear axle wheelbearings / seals / c-clips -tried to overhaul the transfer case, actually could use a new front case half, everything else apart from the viscous clutch and planetery gear is new -replaced all u-joints and rear slipyoke -new engine oil cooler lines -replaced light bulbs of cluster, ac control unit and steering wheel [/QUOTE]
