Supposed to be, you have to remove the factory cup that holds the bump stops. Got em from advanced autoparts for $12.

And just for you benedict pics of my rough country steering stabilizer(installed)

Default A lot!

Well today has been maintenance day, going through everything since I just got the truck a week ago and no maintenance records (of course).

Replaced catalytic converter and downstream O2 sensor.

Replaced exhaust tip.

Pulled throttle body and cleaned (1/4" of carbon), including Idle air solenoid.

Replaced TPS sensor.

Pulled air intake and MAF sensor and cleaned all, replaced air filter.

Replaced rotor and cap.

Replaced plug wires.

Replaced spark plugs (thank goodness only 6 versus 16 on my Hemi, at least they are on top).

Recharged AC system.

Cleaned out a bazillion pieces of crumbled rubber plastic cover over the plastic AC condenser box (what the heck is that junk???)

Replaced both headlights.

Drained tranny and replaced filter/gasket.

Sweating my b@ll$ off, man a shower and a beer is going to taste good in a few hours!

The only issue with the truck was the rattling cat brick, and a slight just off idle stumble from a stop, hopefully it goes away!

I am 50 years old, and I have never heard of "Mighty" brand sparkplugs, and boy were they in bad shape, one had cracked insulator and all were leaking chamber pressure around the insulator/shell crimp. The electrodes looked pretty clean, no sign of oil fouling which was good with 118K on the odo.

Haven't posted in here for a bit. Haven't gotten much done sadly. But that's gonna change after vacation trip.

As for now, I'm finally gonna join the ranks of the other lifted guys with some shackles. My buddy ordered them for me and sent me some pics today.
