Well I got the truck back on Wednesday, 4th of July. Drove it about and hour home with ZERO problems. Took it to work the next day to try and get a sticker on my lunch break. After they told me I couldn't get a sticker due to a few lights not working I headed home and had to go through a construction site. I guess I must have bottomed the truck out in the front. Got home to the truck leaking oil heavily. Checked it out last night and found the oil pan has a hole in it. WTF. It will go back to the mechanic next week to have a new oil pan put on it and we are going to raise up the front end an inch. My mechanic thinks he has a low profile oil pan at work that should work and give me more clearance.

One step forward, two steps back.

In the meantime while the truck is home I'm going to try and tackle getting the blinkers to all work and get all seats mounted. Then I can start on the stereo install.
