So I finally got my hands on my brothers old truck and had to do some minor work to get her running right again.

Last night I installed a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X998 head unit on it and I was quite impressed with the what the output was even with factory speakers..... well I tore those out and added 4 infinity reference 6.5" speakers and I'm loving the sound so much I cancelled my plans to add some subwoofers. Trying to do as little as possible, and this was perfect for what I needed.

Next up is the pesky tailgate handle fix.. easy enough to do and the parts already came in. Got a Bluetooth OBD2 reader as well that I'll use to check for codes. She's a low mileage truck and still looks great... plus you can't beat free (dad took it after my brother bought a new car, and he told me if I could fix it I can have it). Luckily backyard mechanic skills were enough!

Looks good! What's the tailgate handle problem?

It was just broken in general. Wouldn't allow it to turn properly to disengage the catches on either side. It's been replaced and works perfectly now.

Did you replace the wiring when you replaced the speakers or just replaced the speakers? I could use a little more cow bell.

I didn’t replace any of the wiring, but I did go ahead and “splurge” on $6-$7 wiring harness adapters because I was too lazy to solder on leads (not a fan of crimp-ons)
