Then the shaft on the PAS pump decided to walk out about 4mm and shreaded the belt, so...

...in the last week I've done the following:
- Replace the radiator, fan, fan clutch, cooling return hose.
- Flushed and bled the cooling system.
- Replaced 2 motor mounts.
- Made a custom, 5-rib belt to get the truck home when it tried to slice 2 ribs off the existing belt. (All I did was trim the rest of the 2 ribs off, but I did it on the side of the road in the middle of the night!)
- Pulled and replaced the PAS pump with a brand new one.

Today,
- I'm re-bleeding the cooling system (temps just weren't stable enough for my liking before the fiasco with the PAS).
- Bleeding the PAS pump.
- Maybe (time permitting) replacing the rear drive shaft with a u-joint rear drive shaft. (I'm just tired of wasting $$$ on rotoflex couplers.)

Added an Edge Star 63qt fridge/ freezer. I had an 80qt before in my old rig. They hold up really well.

Took 15 minutes and some finesse, but they work great.
What Bosch Blades did you use?

Finally got around to replacing the t-case shifter boot and the parking brake boot and it was totally worth it. They are quite snazzy and totally recommended, they make your car look much newer.

I ordered them from RN. They look pretty good. Only took about an hour and that was mostly because I couldn't find "ammo" for my glue gun.

You can throw those rubber mats in the dishwasher and get rid of that "sticks and stems" look too.

Fantastic Idea. I do that with a lot of other things, never thought about that for these.
