Did a complete tune up, cleaned TB, oil change, changed brake pads, new passenger side rotor, & finished it off with swaping the old air cleaner for a 14" round Cleaner.

Pulled the exhaust and repainted it, washed the truck.

 

So, how is she running Blayd ?

 

Tried to install my new trackbar but failed due to the fact that I couldn't get the driver side ball joint out of the frame mount-I tried everything and no use(Well everything except a jack hammer) But I I got all the bolts off and it would move a bit but the ball joint stud just would not release. Any advice?

 

Trucks running great.. I always had a very slight tick.. I found the last lifter on the drivers side was stuck.. only moved about 1/16th of an inch in either direction.. ( when I pulled that plug, it was "wet" and gunked up so this might have contributed to the bad looking plug as well..) had to put an adjustable wrench on the lifter.. keep my finger pushing up from under it and "wiggle" it out...once it was out, I used alittle parts cleaner on a rag wrapped around my finger and cleaned the slot for that lifter to get the build up or wear-edge out the best I could... the new lifter slipped in with no problem and slid up and down smoothly with no hang ups. Trucks running like it never ran before since I've owned it. Well worth the time and effort.

 

Washed it. Hand buffed it out with polishing compound & rubbing compound for the bad scracthes, wash it again. hand wax. Thank GOD Buffing only needs done every few years.

I would do a pic but the sun going down & I am tired. But I can see the neighbors backyard off the shine on the fender.
