Pulled the valve covers on my "spare engine" and did an happy dance, will be doing small maintenance this spring. Push rods may also be new.
They look brand new
As well I found significant fouling of the lower manifold heater pipe and front water block water entrances with RTV. The shop suspected a failed block bit it may be simpler just restricted water passages (that would be nice bonus). Unfortunately the shop is very familiar with these engines so my be is they are right.

Removed, cleaned and greased my noisy in-car temperature sensor, as described here:

Was super easy, except getting those two screws out can be tough. This little gem made all the difference (for $3!):

Now it's silent! It's been on my list for a while, so it was nice to check it off in the new year.

Oil, oil and more oil
Changed the gear oil in both diffs and the transfer case. At 160K I'm not sure if the rear was ever done by the looks of the gunk that came out and was attached to the drain plug. Probably about half an inch or more sludge attached to the plug...not sure what that is going to lead to later. Front diff was pretty clean but the truck had its front diff replaced by the dealer during its lifetime. The transfer case seemed clean but a little low. Messy but I'm glad it's done!
