Well.. I got new tires installed yesterday.. treadwright that are pretty awesome...

I drove around about 200 miles on them and noticed my steer was really crappy... I figured because I wasn't use to the 265's.. I had 285's...

I took the truck in for front axle U-joints and axle seals.. had them check the front end...

upper and lower ball joints on both side... loose as a *****
track bar that I just replaced a month ago.. loose too..
inner and outter tie-rods & tie-rod ends.. loose...

So in the past two days I've changed the following:
upper and lower ball joints (both sides)
inner and outter tie-rod & tie-rod ends (both sides)
axle U-joints (both sides)
axle seals (both sides)
diff fluid change
alignment
new tires
new brake pads on the way as well as a new LH Fender well liner (got ripped off in a mud hole)

I'm begining to think this truck is starting the downward spiral into the junk yard!


after all that I still haven't fixed my drivers side door!!.. it's been like 1.5 years!

 

and they told me the main seal at the crank was leaking.. I was thinking it was the oil pan gasket... FML

 

Which main seal? I just changed my front seal the other day with the new timing chain and I'm in the middle of doing the rear right now. You should do those yourself. The front is really easy and the rear isn't too bad either.

 

it's the fron main seal right at the bottom crank assembly

 

super easy.
remove belt.
remove balancer pulley.
remove balancer.
pull seal.
clean seal surface.
lightly oil new seal to aid in installation.
use balancer bolt with a seal driver to push new seal in.
install balancer.
install balancer pulley.
install belt.

 

What happen with the door agin?

Oh and if you do get ride of it I would like to have frist shot and after market parts.

 

my brother broke it when you slammed it like 5 times after the latch had partly closed....

 

I got dibs on the fenders and doors
