    225k Mile Checkup

    Soon I plan on taking my 80 to a mechanic to have him check out the truck in terms of things that may need to be replaced etc. I was wondering if there are typical parts at this mileage. I've already had the main oil seals replaced and I will be doing the front end rebuild when I have some...

    Strange Vibration

    I recently had my 80 serviced for a vibration problem at the dealer. It turned out that the U-joints were about to fall out. After I got the truck back, there was still a strange vibration at around 50mph. It doesn't occur at idle or when you rev. the engine. I think this might be the wheel...

    Brakes

    The 80 just ate a whole rotor. Thinking a rock or pebble got in there and messed up everything.
