Just wanted to check in and introduce myself and my truck. My name is Brad, and I live in western WA. I’m new to this forum, obviously, but spent many years over on ExPo documenting various builds. I took a break from forum life back in 2020 when the world lost it’s marbles, but I have been using this forum as a reference for sorting out my new-to-me 2012 Race Red SCAB (103k miles), so I figured that I’d give it a go.
I broke a long standing rule of mine regarding not buying someone else’s modded vehicle, so I hope this truck works out. I’ve been sorting though some issues since I got it. Some common (fuse 27) and some still eluding me (PATS key related). I have ForScan, which already alerted me to a bad ignition switch so that’s cool.
It has Icon suspension with the rears being the dual hose RXT reservoirs, as well as RXT leaf springs (best I can tell). The bumpers are SVC and the chase rack is SDHQ. Method 702’s and 35” KO2’s. Exhaust is the MBRP pre-axle dump. All this was on the truck when I bought it including the two spares.
I have already done the fuse 27 relocate, replaced the ignition switch, and a bad door check. I have all the parts on hand to drop the trans valve body and replace the lead frame, trans filter, and bulkhead fitting. I also have plugs, coils and wires coming. Unfortunately, I have no idea what maintenance has been done on this rig, so I am getting a good baseline and tackling the stuff that would need to be done anyway at 100k miles.
Anyway, that’s it for now. Take it easy.
