Today replaced: Rear pinion seal, leaking, PS return lines, leaking and both tie rods and ends. One side was bad so I said wth, 117k and change I'll just freshen up both sides. New Cooper Discoverer HT plus' on the way. Smelling some antifreeze so looks like I'll be doing all the coolant hoses, pump and thermo next. Although my plastic radiator may be cracked so I may have to eat that too. Want her till 300k or another 12 years if she'll go. Pretty damn reliable truck otherwise.

Tire feedback. Either these Coopers are really good or those Hancook Ventus AS' were complete crap. Feels like a whole different truck. No bouncing, excess body roll just feels a whole lot better. Found out through the alignment that one of my control arms is bent. Gotta love this corrupt state of Ma. And its Fiat size potholes. Im impressed with these tires. More than I expected.
