What did you do with your truck/shop today

LongrangeLauber · November 12, 2014

Alright so anywhere between an inch and two inches then. They are lift springs so it could vary. As long as it helps out with wheel hop and axle wrap so I can do burnouts I'm fine lol

Wife drove it to her work(battery died in corolla, it lasted 6 years and 3 months!)she has been sacred of driving it there because of the tight entrances, exits, and spaces in the parking garage. Hope this goes well

Mine are designed to fit on block but you could prob do it right in axle since 2wd trucks don't have blocks usually

Replaced both diff fluids and drained trans fluid. Was gonna drop the pan but I couldn't get to two bolts on the pan and it was getting dark. If i had another vehicle I would have left it but I dont. Damn Y pipe is in the way, was gonna do filter as well

Rear diff

Trans plug (haven't changed fluid since I installed trans)

Those springs will fit on the stock block? I like to see real lifts on trucks.....not the stupid 14" blocks with stock leaf springs. Glad to see you are doing the proper lift!

On post 7278, is that metal clumped on the rear diff? If so, is that normal or the sign of something bad? In my eyes, I would be in a panic right now! Same thing with the trans plug....

It's just regular metal shavings. I got rear diff rebuilt a year ago and haven't checked the magnet since install (other than 500 mile drain and refill for both front and rear diffs). The trans plug I haven't pulled since install back in April. I was suppose to drain and refill at 2k miles after install, but it's been about 12k. It's just break in shavings, normal for new gears and such. Now if you start to see larger chunks (this stuff is like anti seize texture) then you should worry but as of right now it's fine

Love that boat. Now you said your where restoreing it? It dosen't look old enough to need that.

Drove her to through the car wash at Costco and came out with a service engine soon light... FML. I think it must have been the insanely high pressure water from all angles that caused it by getting something wet? The other place I usually go to has never caused anything like this, and it was already closed tonight. Although I just checked the engine bay and undercarriage and nothing is even remotely wet.

And I hit 225,000 miles tonight. Its upsetting that the sell had to ruin the night!

New carpet, re upholstered the seats, new control, trolling motor, power poles, battery's, wet sanded the burned top cap and buffed and polished. The boat is an 05 and has been sitting outside for the last 3 years.. I still need to find a new trailer because he put it in saltwater a few times.. Edited November 14, 2014 by 20Bowtie14

Sooo I took out the air filter and there's a little bit of water at the bottom of the intake. The MAF must have gotten wet as the water went through the filter.

The engine never hiccupped or anything afterwards so hopefully once everything dries out the sel will go away. :fingerscrossed:

I also ended up cleaning the carpets and seats with a fabric cleaner and a brush because I had some ugly stains from spills. Overall I'm pleased for such a quick job but I do plan on getting the interior professionally cleaned sometime in the winter.

I also detailed the exterior plastics and sprayed on some wheel protectant to keep dust and stuff off.

Got new wiper blades for both the truck and the wife's Jeep. She had a coupon so I got all 4 for only $14. I actually saved over $20....sweet. So tomorrow I will be cleaning the windshield and putting the new blades on. It's been about 5 years for mine, I think 4 for hers. I really like the longevity of the rain X blades.
