    I am needing new door panels on my 95 FLD. Im not a fan of the original door panels. I was wondering what kind of custom panels you guys have made or bought to replace the originals. I also thought about some aluminum but afraid they might rattle. IMG_6518.JPG

    Gotcha, yeah I like it but it has some underlying rust issues in a few places that were half covered up. It really needs a new hood too but it doesn't look bad from the outside. Currently trying to figure out an issue where the engine hiccups as soon as it starts loading up. Usually only does it once then clears out and pulls.

    Might be an injector but that's just a wild guess. My CAT had a broken injector spring which caused a similar reaction usually when pulling a grade it would do it when grabbing a higher gear. It was just a sputter for a fraction of a second then it would clear up.

    Turned out it was the ECM. TruckECM in dallas swapped it out for a good one and it runs smooth now no hiccup at all.
