Dealer got ahold of it for a few hours today for the passenger side airbag recall. Drivers side is next.

Jeep will be done after that!

Default Plumbing Clean Up

Finally got rid of the mismatched hoses and jerry rigged fittings on the transmission cooling lines. Used 3/8 steel braided hose and -6 AN fittings, plus mounted the thermostat under he front cross member.

That's some nice pro looking work. Great job.

I swapped out my Redhead box for a warranty unit. The sector shaft seal let go and was starting to drip all over the driveway.

Got my gears switched to 4.10 over the past week at a shop. $2505 was the bill, clutch pack for the LSD went out and took out rear bearings, making the bill $500 more than expected. (Also the shop used all Yukon parts, so that's one part of the bill) Drove around yesterday to break them in, 2,000 rpm's at about 60 mph= terrible gas mileage lol. I haven't really tried the gears out yet, but I can hold lower speeds at O/D better.

this week scrubbed my entire interior down, resolve carpet cleaner powder saved it from all my coffee spills. Used awesome cleaner on plastic took all the residue off. Had my original windshield replaced after 12 years of being cracked. hopefully it helps with large leak code lol. It looks nice but the dash completely caved in duck taped that back together, ordered a cover cause the duck tape I have is bright blue looks so bad, received my new plenum ordered new cap, rotor, wires and coil from picked up my new plugs E3's for 48$ out the door. This weeks been easy next week the real work begins

I loaded it up with a bunch of paver stones and some 4x4s. I'm tilling out a 15' x 19' section of my yard, laying out landscape clothe, and paver stones over the area, then I'll put the 4x4s around the perimeter of the pavers. I'm doing this to gain a few parking spaces.

I used my tax refund to have the ball joints, hubs, and steering box replaced on my truck, last year I had the brakes, shocks, and tie rods done. I also got the interior put back together, the previous owner was not interested in taking care of this truck what so ever.


Next comes the engine work, plenum, timing chain, full tune up, exhaust, and what ever else I run into along the way.
