Hello All!!
I am in the Nashville, TN area here, I have been browsing the forum for a while and decided to join and participate a bit. I have been wanting a 4x4 dually k3500 body style for a long time. I like the early 90's body style alot so about 2 years ago I hit up a guy i knew who runs a buy here pay here lot and surfs the auctions frequently. I told him i didnt have a lot of money but also told him what i was wanting in a truck and to keep his eyes peeled for me. He called me about 2 months later and told me to come down and talk to him, I wasnt really expecting he had found a truck but he takes me around back and points to this huge dually 4x4. "Isn't that what ya were wanting" he says. I really couldnt afford it at the time but he worked it out where it was a cheap monthly payment for two years. Well i finally paid it off and since i had a brief period of unemplyment after Dell computer shut down the plant i worked at, i was hesitant to put any money in it just in case i was going to have to sell it before i could get it paid off. Got a new job and finally paid it off so now i would like to start fixing it up. There has been a few issues, First was the PMD. it took me a while of researching and finally figured out my stalling issue was a pmd, replaced the pmd with a stock standyne and a few months later it burned out. So then I heard about the remote mount PMD's and ended up going with one from Heath's Diesel. 600 bucks was like YIKess!! But it has ran great since then. There are a few other issues that I need to address, The major one is the tranny issue. Every couple week's when i am on my way to work. it will go into a limp mode or basicly wont shift and i have to pull over and shut it down then retart and i am good to go for a couple weeks. Hopefully you guys will help me get to the root of that issue. Other things the truck needs badly is brakes, The ac and heater doesnt work, i think it is the climate control switch as it has been wired directly to fusebox. would like to get a new bed liner, nerf bars, and then would like to get some of those slick lookin semi wheels and new tires. From what i can tell it has a 4 inch lift kit on it already but i heard i need a 6 inch lift if i want to go with 22.5 semi wheels. Anyways... another reason i havent joined the forum yet is i did not have any pics of the truck, i got some now and was able to upload one for my profile pic, but had issues uploading some to an album. i resized the pics to requested size format.. still no luck. but glad to be here and btw. this is a great forum with ton's of good info. Cheers!!:thumbsup:
