Wished I had my truck back already so I could have some fun in the road construction outside my house instead of having to baby my sisters car through it.

Just ordered my muffler-back dual exhaust kit for the little red head. Oh yeah and the adapters to mate the two... Now it's time to patiently wait for the delivery man.

I did a drivers side wheel hub yesterday. Absolutely has to be one of the worst things to do on a vehicle. It was easy getting the bolts on and off. But it took me about an hour with an 8lb sledge to knock the hub off. Im kicked in the ***. Now waiting for me clear euro led bumper turnsignals =)

Using air tools makes changing wheel bearings MUCH easier! My air hammer coaxes the axle out of the hub real quick and if that doesn't, my 5 ton puller will. Last one I changed was done in under 30 minutes. 20 minutes for a 2wd C1500.

I finished up the exhaust project that I started. Welded the new pipe to the old one and shortened the strap to hold the muffler in place. Now it's all nice and tight. Sounds great, too!

I think I'll be getting a sub box installed some time this week. Nice!

worst thing about it for me is the axleshaft nut. once it was off, the hub slid neatly off the shaft with no issue. i did put anti-sieze on the splines so if it ever had to come apart again, it would. took apart last fall to replace a axleshaft oil seal on the l.h. side of the differential. who knows, the r.h. side might be a different story.

Totally stoked today! I bought the Hypertech programmer for my vehicle for $200! I'm going to go play with it now. Cheers
