does the door chime work when you leave your keys in. or dome light? that's quick way to narrow it down

no door chime at all (that's a good thing but maybe not). Dome light does work. Seems like the dome/cargo light stays on for 10 minutes. Rear doors don't kick the dome on but the front doors on both sides do.

Nice looking truck. [emoji1360] I don't know if you posted this, but how many miles does this truck have?

It's right at 243k. Most of the injector rebuilders say that 220-240k is about the limit of the oil side of the injector. I did just change the oil again yesterday. The injectors didn't seem to like the Castrol 15-40w cheap oil. I just put in some Rotella 5-40w after about 750 miles with the Castrol. Seems to start MUCH better. I've had issue starting it if I don't start it everyday. That's likely injectors since I just changed the glow plugs and gaskets/harnesses. I'll probably change the oil again at 1k this time and start my normal 5k oil changes after that.

I'm hoping the lighter oil will get me by rather than buying injectors. We'll have to see

I'm thinking I need injectors. It went 36 hours or so between starts and it was a VERY GRUMPY BITCH getting started this morning. It just started before I plugged it in and drove the JKU to work

Marc, I know a guy that can pretty much rub any little dent out of any panel if you are interested in really getting it straight. I just had him do 3 dings and on my truck and one on another car of mine. You really have to look hard to find them and I think if I didnt know where they were, I wouldn't be able to see them.

This is totally a 50 foot truck. I would be interested in having it "nice" but there's just a bunch of bumps and bruises. Is be interested in having it "clean" but it really will need new fenders, probably a new hood, new passenger doors and then we can go from there
