The truck looks really good man. I myself am running the declads soon as I get them done. I was going to keep them the natural finish after I saw how one of them looked cleaned up, but 2 of them had some clear coat come off with the foam and look horrible. Probably gonna powder coat them. You had any luck finding center caps?

I haven't really looked for center caps but I know there was a place that use to sell decladded wheels and they came with custom center caps. If you found the company they probably still make them. I wanted to get my wheels polished but they would have to be re cleared so I'm just going to powder coat them aluminum finish or black. I'll just run those until I can afford some Bogart's lol

Well I go pick the truck up from the tuner tomorrow. Any guesses as to what kind of power it puts down NA and on the 200 pill?

Passenger side O2 sensor just does clear the frame in my truck too. Actually the new AC Delco O2 I bought actually touches/rubs when installed. Had to clean the 156k OEM one and re-install for additional clearance, (it's a tad shorter.) Having paint work done at the moment, but first chance I'll get under it R2 the old sensor and hole-saw a clearance hole in the frame to eliminate interference and re-install the new one.

Update: went to pick my truck up today and I have a low oil pressure issue. Drained the oil and took the oil filter apart to find metallic flakes. Going to pull it next week and disassemble. Hoping it's just a main bearing but it doesn't seem hurt. Hopefully we caught it before it did a lot of damage.

Thats no good. What kind of bearings were used? I'm running King's in mine and I pray we dont have a similar issue when the time comes to fire up and dyno.
