New output seal in the t case.

 

installed the plow push plates, and a pair of LED reverse lights, on the 3rd gen today!

 

couple pics missing.

 

fixed!

 

Your 3rd gen makes me want one, don't know why lol it just looks sweet. Would you mind posting up an exhaust video for it?

 

Haha thanks man! The exhaust is true dual, no x pipe, and crappy stock style mufflers. Its really quiet!

Oh and its only 2.25 piping!

I'm gonna pick up an x pipe, and some super 44s, or similar, and wake it up a bit, but not til spring.

 

Haha well that's about pointless then, you'll have to post up a vid when you swap out mufflers!

 

took the new truck to get state inspected today... it failed for all 4 ball joints, and left outer tie rod.

mind you, seller indicated in the ad that the whole front end was brand new... needless to say, im pretty pissed!

ordered all 4 xrf ball joints. under 200 shipped to my door...

 

So just how bad were the ball joints?

Down here the shop I normally use for inspection will go pretty extreme to get the ball joint to move and then fail it.....

I fully expect them to fail all 4 this year, since they didn't fail any last year....

Also think I'm gonna have to get a cat again, I don't have to pass emissions in Fredericksburg but I've been told by people who live there they do a physical inspection and will fail you if it's not there....

 

theyre literally about to fall out. you can grab the wheel at 12 and 6, and can easily shake the wheel, and see the knuckle move. i saw, and heard it for myself...
