finally..
Hey all,
I've been away from the site for a few weeks...but wanted to update y'all with some progress I've made with almost two month old X purchase.
Swapped out my factory 6 disc changer for a new Pioneer HU so I can play my iPod. First problem was getting the original OUT of the dash. Apparently the folks who owned it before me decided to jam something in the holes where the removal tools go, therefore breaking or bending the clips. Spent wayyy to long trying to get it out, just thinking I was an idiot for not getting it out. Gave up, drove to best buy and did my cute girl smile and the guy took it out for me, for free of course. Had to cut those clips off... so if anybody wants to buy a 6 disc changer, works fine, with no clips, then let me know ;-) I have no use for it anymore.
Next was installing my new HU. After utilized the search feature way too much, I figured out how to mess with the wires and get the factory sub/amp to kick on and work with my new head unit. You think they could make some sort of harness for that. Now it works really well, my new HU has sub controls, low pass filters and all that so that lil factory sub sounds much better than it did before. It was a pain to figure out but was worth it.
And lastly, finally got my add a leafs put on...couldn't stand the sagging rear of the truck. It looks sooo much better now with them on, and rides a lot better too. A little stiffer, but no longer bouncy and mushy. My dad was a little worried it was gonna take him forever to get them on, only took him about an hour. I didn't measure before/after height, but it did make a big difference. If anything the rear is slightly higher, but i figure that will settle down too. I will post some pics when I get them up online somewhere.
