Rattlebuckets replacement

[Fla 66 cuda]

Here's the replacement for my dually [nothing will ever fit it's shoes] except a new one [yea right]. This is a 2001 4x4 sport 5.9 auto,119000 miles,one owner,brand new A/C components, was not this clean when i got it and no i did not take photos [it was in the same dirty shape as my dually] after 2 1/2 days of cleaning this is it. It does have some issues but hopefully they don't multiply [damn battery went dead today] needs tires,and has a small vacume leak according to advanced auto parts scan tool,paint job is mostly orignal with touchups here and there [northern truck does have rust in areas]. The floor mats are only temporary till i find some all weather mats. I'm still looking at wheels but the decision is on hold till i get the rest of the issues cleared up.

Thanks all,i'm still missing my dually but this one did cleanup nicely. Yep small issues do arise and replacing the alternator is the first one that was kinda not expected but everything on this thing is original and i beleve it has been sitting around since last year so that did not help. I'm going to a mechanic friends shop tomorrow and let them find my vacume leak and check it out for other issues [they got the equipment]. Thanks jeff but no tuners for me after louis's last mustang i'm over them just opens up too many problems i can't afford.

Thanks, i'll do that tomorrow while i'm changing the alternator. Theres only 3 vacume ports i think A/C accesorys,pcv,booster on the manifold and one under the throttlebody for the emissions system. Everything looked to be in good shape but ill recheck that one.

If it's not done already, take the check valve off the trans cooler line!

Looks nice Lou! Good luck with it

Good looking truck Lou.

Looks just like mine minus the 5.9 and it looks like your dash is still in one piece.

There are a few cracks starting and i'm sure it'll do the same thing as everyone elses,and yes it's a 360 gas guzzlin pig getting 13.5 city right now [according to the overhead thing] but my dually only got 14.0 city when the air was on so i'm not too far off and fuel is cheeper. Going into the shop monday to fix vacume leak and getting a full check out can't afford to keep dumping money into it as things break just gonna head them off at the pass [just replaced the alternator today].
