Ok im starting a new thread for im going to start a new section on my truck. I need some advice on what i should do next.


1. Rockers, and Doors: As you can se from my pic, they need some work.

2. Rear Main Seal, Tranny/ Transfer case seal: Found they were both leaking a little bit yesterday...its not bad yet.

3. Timing Chain: at 200K, i dont know if its been changed, but there wasnt slack when i replaced gasket 4 months ago....better safe than sorry.



Which one should be my next project? and whichever one is chosen, i will post all the updates in this thread.

5" suspension lift! Just kidding. If I were you i'd take care of the doors. Seems like you've got the truck running good so start on the outside.

truck runs excellent, nothing is loosing noticable amounts of fluid...the Rear main leak isnt even making it to the ground, its just wet near the starter, and the tranny/transfer case area is leaking very small amounts, its wet on the bottom portion, but not enough to drip down. Fluids are right to appropriate levels. Shifts mint, idles mint, oil psi is at 55 when on gas, it goes excellent.

So i guess that majority is rockers and doors....

I will tackle into that once the weather clears...Lots of pics to come
