Message: First question I have is - Where can I find plans for a heat shield for a 2002 V8 4.7 automatic? I just put in a custom intake and need to shield it from the engine, Would sheet metal be good enough to use?
Second question is - Can I paint my mirrors and door handles to match the colour of the truck? I know I could do it but will the paint stay on or will it crack off in a couple of years. Could I buy them aftermarket?
Thanks for your time and patience. I really like this board and it is great to see so many people helping others. Thanks for all the great reads!
Message: dont know about the heat shield but i painted my mirrors and windshield wiper arms to match the truck, looks awesome and hasnt peeled or cracked yet so i think it should be good to go
Message: Go check out IntenseDak's web site....he has some good write-ups about what all he did to paint various pieces of both the interior & exterior of his Dak.
