Finally got off of work enough to pressure wash all the mud off of it and water hosed the motor with some engine degreaser. Replaced passenger regulator, finally, thanks to Jake1996d1. I also pulled the truck down in the yard; wrapped the tree strap, hooked up the pulley block, and winched away. After this weekend the winch cable needed to be respooled, so I had the winch pull the truck up the yard while I guided it in. I also cleaned the cable.

Now, to wire the damn roof rack lights....I have no idea what I'm doing.

Goal before July, new TerraFirma Medium Duty 2" Lift. Mine is getting awful..

Dialed that in on the adjustable, threw a little PB Blaster on the bottom fittings, and it came right apart.

Did a field repair on a broken trans cooler line so I could get home from work.
Off to the import parts place first thing in the morning.

You fix the head gasket?

I continued my teardown - pulled the heater hose, fuel pressure regulator, fuel injector harness (who the heck placed the distributor amplifier connector there?) and alternator. Next up is disconnect the fuel rail from the return line, figure out how to undo a bolt hiding under a pipe, and then pull the intake manifold.
