Finally got a tire mounted to my matching spare wheel and replaced the thrashed Icon rear shocks with new OEM Fox’s.






The lower one is blown and leaking oil. Both have gouges in the shafts. The corrosion is unreal. At $2,200 a piece you’d think Icon could use a better coating. Previous owner painted the shock bodies.

Discovered some interesting stuff pulling apart my 6.2s front end. Oil pump appears to be new, and I found what I think is a date code on it that was 2017. Not sure why that would be the only new part, since usually when an oil pump goes out, the engine doesn’t survive, and nothing else was replaced inside so it seems like
Someone just decided this engine needed an oil pump. Seems to be an original engine, but I have no way to verify. Timing cover had definitely been off before as it had a weird gasket. Attached a pic of the trashed timing cover covered in JB weld and cracks, and my fresh blue valve cover

@jdm_sixtwo My best guess on the new oil pump is that the truck had a stalling problem at some point. This causes a low oil pressure warning light to pop up on the dash. Probably that “old chestnut” known as the Canister Purge Valve…

@Gryphon313 that would make sense. Only thing is that the truck currently has a bad CPV, and no stalling issues.

Copy. That “old chestnut” known as Fuse 27.

There ya go. That kit was already done when I got it so I bet it failed once before!

That’s quite a collection of idiot lights you have there.

Every legit garage-built prerunner has idiot lights. The seat belt light (since you have harnesses), the parking brake light (since your axle swap from drums to discs), the engine service lights, airbag lights, etc. Back in the day, when SCORE did the Laughlin event every January, I recall the hotel valets would run up to the truck to get to drive a "real" desert beast, then side inside the cab and be overwhelmed by all those lights. I'd hear a lot of "Sir, what's wrong with your truck?" and see them panic when the spooled axle started chirping across the pavement. The only guys that worried me were the ones that insisted on putting on the radio intercom headphones to park it.
