T-5...
Too tired to update last night.
Waxed the drivers side (in the shade) and pulled the pass side front shock. Got it stripped and painted and clearcoating it on breaks today. Took off the front bumpstops and scrubbed them clean.
I'll pul the drivers shock tonight.

-Tranny fluid is mint
-Transfer Case fluid is mint
-Front ends all greased
-fixed my brake problem, (rear hardware was froze up on pass. side)
-U Joints are fine
-Coolant topped off
-found no problems with front end parts
-Found a slight coolant leak though....timing cover gasket...again
-checked front and rear diff fluid, and alls good


he went over pretty much the whole truck, and my old boss said the truck is in real good running shape....then he gave me crap about my rockers and doors, because he has a set of doors from a ram he just parted out

What timing cover gasket are you using? I used the felpro rubber on metal gasket and installed it dry and mine isn't leaking.

Well put in 4 new ball joints, inner tierod , front end alignment, install 4 new 315/75R16 Goodyear MT-R's. These tires are way quieter than my copper STT's
