Finally got the diff rebuilt on the truck. and already took it back to the same hole i blew it in.

 

I finished up my gas tank swap, going from 15gallon to a 22 gallon. Biggest issue was getting the sending unit plug back on. The rubber wasn't very pliable any more.

I just need to get some gas now.

 

It all may not be today but within the past few days.

I started with replacing the steering center link. The pitman arm hole was stretch at the top and that what was causing excessive play in the steering wheel. So I got a nice junkyard replacement. I installed the new one.

While under the hood I noticed the CV axle boot was ripped and grease everywhere. So it sat one more day with out wheels on. I installed the new boot and reinstalled the CV axle.

Next I noticed the brake pads were extremely low. So I got new pads and decided to replace the calipers too. I bleed the system too. It was dirty fluid too.

Rear brakes and all fluids were checked all good!

Next I took the truck to Firestone to get my Free Lifetime Aliment done, since I messed with the steering system.

I replaced the front drivers tire with a used one with great tread on it for $25. Same tire BFG TA's (Craigslist) Mine was wearing out from bad alignment (Good now).

I got all 4 wheels balanced for free. $40 service.

I welded a side plate to my front factory skid plate. The side plate covers the engine oil pan. I left a nice spot for access to the oil drain plug.

cleaned cooling system in the rain, thunder and lighting....if there wasnt enough water already.

 

Changed my multigrade oil, to Oil for diesel Trucks, III SAE 50 Quaker State good compression, good mileage.

 

Started to tare apart the dash insearch of a mouse nest in the vents.

 

Installed a new 775cca battery.

 

I put upper ball joints, inner tie rod ends, and shocks on the front yesterday and then had the front end aligned. The ride is so much better with little to no play. Going to put Rear shocks on today or tomorrow.

 

I put in one of those satelilite radios, to bad all the stations suck.. and cleaned out my truck agian, the armoral now just glares off, you need a pair of shades just to look inside the truck lol.
