I "Underhauled" my 02 2500 in the spring of this year, it took 5 weeks of working on after work during the week (I was working on my camper at my parents house on the weekends installing a new roof). This started with me wanting to change the fuel filter because I suspected it was original and I didn't think the lines would come off with out snapping due to rust (I was right). After replacing the brake lines and transmission lines to due rust, I knew it was a matter of time before the fuel lines would go. In an attempt to make this truck as reliable as possible I tackled the lines before they left me on the side of the road. While I had everything out from under the truck I cleaned, treated and coated the frame and underbody as well as changed the brakes hoses, shocks, front control arms, and front/rear diff and transfer case fluid. I also added a steering stabilizer beasue it was super easy and cheap. The only unplanned thing I ran into was replacing the fuel pump because when I dropped the tank the inlet lines snapped due to rust (it turned out I couldn't get the lines off anyway they were so rusted). Here are some of the pics of this project.
