Thumbs up

and no u dont have to take off the header. some times i think chilton gets a kick back for scaring u into dealer work. not even close to removing it. rediculous. i forgot how easy it was, 30 min. flywheel was a little worn in one place but seams fine. guess if i go thru starters ill get a new flywheel. but i think its fine. now for hubs......stay tuned.

Talking

stoked! hubs took care of humming,cut abs sensor,and studs all fixed. abs light immediatley went off. and found a old screw wedged under spring causing a loud pop when i went over speed bumps, that i almost took back to the shop. i cant remember any mechanical escapade ever working out this nice. im loving me some me..girl is finally happy. i havnt drank in a while but im gonna pick up a sixer and toot my own horn..lol thx 54.. it was easy, feel a little stupid paying all that money for front end but it was alot af work. the pads were new with both rotors looking like total sh#t. shhh! im not telling her im just buying cross drilled and saying it was a gift. lol what a stupid azz person to let this thing go like that. i hope the seller reads this one day. shmmmmmmuck! oh and i didnt need the 36mm. no axle nut on 2wd. which i didnt specify. (my fault)thx for the heads up tho. your posts gave me the comfidence to start this.

Man, you have had some serious work done with this truck! I looked at your pics. What's up with the guy selling it to you with steel wheels?
