Good job. I did mine awhile along with the MAF. Can tell a big difference.

I will be doing alot work on mine during Christmas shut down. I'll have 10 days off. One thing I'll be doing is repainting the grill and maybe painting the door handles as well.

That's what my plan is for Spring. I want to paint the door handles and mirror caps. I'm looking for an A.R.E. tonneau for it too.

First and foremost though I need to get the axle seal fixed.

Have you thought about painting your grill red like I did mine but white?

I actually have thought about that. I REALLY like it on you're truck. Not sure if it's too much red or not though.

I think it will look good along with some blacked out headlights.

I had the TB cleaned at 110,000 miles. Really made a difference in the way it runs.
