Finish putting the hub assemblies and o-rings on rear axle. O-rings were fine, just need wiped off and rust removed from groove in hub. Cleaned up hubs, both were fine. Added axle gasket sealant to the o-rings to keep water from entering the area again. Anti-seized everything up and cleaned inside of rims, and road test. Sun was just starting to get intense...when l stuck a fork in it...done.
Got a new set of Falken at3 235-85-16's. Love em so far! Went conservative with my last set of 245-75, and they were fine, but I like these much better. The more narrow width makes it seem like I had power steering installed compared to before. Only about an inch less width, but made a big difference. I thought the extra weight of an E load range and about an inch taller would make the truck feel sluggish but it's hardly noticeable except up hill; where I'll help the trans out and shift manually when needed. I didn't put my center caps on yet; had to adjust them so they'll stop falling off. Those cheap plastic pieces of crap are over 75 bucks each to replace!!

Did Old Flowers rd yesterday. Great drive.
Goes through where the High Park Fire was..
Some pretty steep uphills and downhills..
Traction control worked so well..
Only used 4lo on steep downhills..
Oh yeah and no scan tool or ultragauge for coolant temp......I checked on coolant a few time but it remained un-changed....pretty happy about that
This wasn't all done at one time but over the last 3-4 months I've done new tires all the way around, shocks/struts all the way around, slotted brake rotors and ceramic pads all the way around, new steering stabilizer, new battery, new alternator, new battery cover, new plugs and wires, new O2 sensors (4), valve adjustment, new radiator, thermostat, all cooling hoses replaced, new crank position sensor, positive/negative battery cables, and starter. I think that's everything.....
Finally mounted my cb antenna Now I need the coax and a free day to pull the headliner and get the cb wired up Is there an easy way to space the visor shelf down a bit? I’ve seen some in pics
