izzo Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Stereo in, wired up. working. I am going to move a few wires around probably tomorrow to get a little bit cleaner look. All but 3 wires hidden. didn't want to cut the dashboard up, so its in a crappy location for the time being. Swapped radiators. Still gets a little warm, going to install a new water pump and call it good. Maybe down the road (couple weeks) install an aftermarket temp gauge that reads in degrees instead of cold/hot so i know exactly what the temp is. Going to mess around with the wiring a bit tomorrow to clean up the engine bay harness. Its due for a little attention. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 You got the deck I want, well I want the 6300... but they look identical. Good choice. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Well, i really wanted to get a more expensive deck. Either the 7200 (i think) or a kenwood deck. I love kenwood products. But for what this deck does, it was perfect. It has low pass filter, high pass filter, and will know the difference between sub and front/rear speakers etc.. It has front aux input which is key for what i want... Its not fugly.. So far i am happy with it. Wish i knew more about audio to set it up properly. I did read the manuals and it thumps pretty damn hard. Shakes the truck when cruising but would be nice to have it at its full potential. Its toned down right now till I can get some guidance tuning it properly. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 LoL. Who needs battery trays anyways.. This is the only rust i could find on the truck. Rather it be that one spot than many others or floors... Please keep in mind this patch is just temporary. I don't have the resources or parts to complete this fix. So i just temp cleaned out the old shit and threw this patch in today so had a safer battery spot :rolleyes: Didn't take to long to form the metal to fit in there like it should be. Pulled it out a few times, hammered on it, once it was close i used a hammer and dolly to smooth it out a little more. Just tacked it in there to hold it till next year at least. some safety glasses. and i used the tape to keep it square-ish Quote Link to comment

620green Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Getting tired of selling rigs... Think the next thing i sell will be the wife :blink: (srs) anyways. Plan on keeping this truck. Needs some work tho for my taste. the fronts riding on the bump stops, so ill need to address that. Needs a light switch. needs seat belts like a mother fucker... Sounds like rocks flying around in the transmission until i push the clutch in.. ill have to see what thats about. weber 280zx l20 Anyways, got this for 1200 delivered.. The back is tucking tire too. fender was rolled and slightly pushed out. Its a walk-thru cab... Nice ride. 1 Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Thread from the dead! Alright ladies. Over the last few weeks its been getting more and more of a PITA to start in the morning. Every day it would crank over a little slower. Fine later in the day, just really slow in the morning. Tie that up with a shitty positive cable with the shitty clamp on end = trouble. Bucked up and bought a yellow top optima and new positive cable. I chose the yellow top as i run the 1000 watt amp and subs, and the yellow top is designed for that. Next up I am going to swap in my other alternator that is supposed to be 60amp. Yellow top is a bit expensive but the napa batteries only last me a few years it seems. I couldn't really afford this Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I should also mention. I threw the battery on the charger for the day, started great that night. Next morning, battery read 12V but still slow turning over and starting. Can't believe how fast that starter spins now with that optima battery. All the difference in the world. Quote Link to comment
skunk Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 nice, :thumbup: i need to buy a nice battery. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 nice, :thumbup: i need to buy a nice battery. For just a daily driver you can get the red top. It will last you forever. I am very impressed with this battery so far. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Yeah, it`s that time of year again, i will be down to only 3 batteries and switching them between rigs. But i keep the better crappy ones for use during summer.. Quote Link to comment
skunk Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 what did you pay for that battery? every time i look at optima batteries they are $125+ is there a better place to buy? i need to buy one before winter hits. Quote Link to comment

Too much :blink: 125 isn't bad for a red top. I bought mine at Napa auto parts. Keep in mind, the yellow tops are more expensive. There's two versions, top mount, and then the top + side mount. The top+side is more expensive, and that's all they had. I paid 220 out the door for the yellow top - Top & side mount battery, plus a positive cable with the extra lead off of it for accessories. And it was still cheaper than what the online price said it would be at this napa. Their regular batteries were around 100 bucks. So i splurged. If you buy one, and end up selling your car. Keep that battery. Bet you wont buy another for years to come Quote Link to comment
NWOleman Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Yeah i have had a redtop for about 3 or 4 years now and it still works great! I have ran it in my derby cars since i bought it 2. They are the only way to go! Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Just added these too :lol: Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Thread from the dead! That's OK, we just figured you sold it and didn't want anyone to know. :D Quote Link to comment
