So since it's been awhile since I've updated this...here we go Both front hubs....again. Both front outer tie rods...cheap parts, my fault. All tires...cheap tires don't last long. Front passenger window regulator Fuel pump, on the road so shop replaced it Fuel filter, along with new pump Fuel pressure regulator Thermostat...finally. New hitch & pin, both stolen...WTH??? Battery Alternator Wiper washer pump Repaired washer lines Valve cover gaskets Redneck tire carrier installed Front brakes Most recent....upgraded transmission cooler. Old one was still working but new one is twice the size & doing great. That's what I can think of for the truck off hand. I post again of what I've done in the shop.

Finally hit the road today. Last minute change, now using the truck to tow ourselves back to Alaska. The wife's Jeep just wasn't going to cut it.

Yup.

Oh quiet down, you're still a 100k behind me...lol

Finally got to the as antifreeze change. In the interest of time before the big cross country trip I left the old thermostat alone. Finally got all the "must do" items done from when I bought the truck. Now for the want to do items...well and a few other new better get done soon items.

Drove to base & got my VA claim started.

Sitting back & watch as my house is getting packed up for the big move back to Alaska. Soooo happy to let the military take moving me this time.

Finally got around to replacing the trans filter yesterday. I dropped the cross member out & that made it soooo much easier compared to a friend's truck I worked a couple years ago. Got it all together and then found diff fluid all over my rear passenger tire. I took the vent tube completely out & cleared it out. Also made sure the fitting on the axle tube was clear. So far no more fluid, but I ordered the seal just in case.

Holy crap, that's still expensive. Even a dealer couldn't get it cheaper?

So far...no. However with the wife planning to go back to school, I may end up being a stay at home dad for awhile.

I hear you. I have about 5 applications out awaiting a response.

Well that last picture being one with the car on a dealer lot tells me the 1,000 words or "personal reasons" I would think scam.

So you are suing the Postal Service for putting a mailbox in your way of avoidance? lol

^^^^ This. To my knowledge GM hasn't ever installed any kind of limited slip or locking front diff on this trucks.

No doubt, I know that GM did away with them on the gas engines and I just assumed they did on the diesels as well...that's what I get for assuming. I know I wouldn't mind getting rid of it on my truck.
