Thanks guys. I appreciate the words of support.
I'm going to let the truck sit for awhile. I think it needs some time to itself and I think I need sometime away from it.
It started right up this AM and went right into 4L and I was able to pound through the snow to get it into the garage for its mothball. I am going to spend some time later this weekend and empty it out fully and clean it up inside. Drain all of the fluids and start over again.
I've got lots of new OEM parts sitting around for R/R: new spindles, front and rear output bearings/seals, gearing, PS pump, etc. I know I've got some projects lined up, but it's just too damn cold right now and I want some respite.
The body needs work--got some ideas for this, but the fabrication stage might be interesting.
Anyway, a wrenching session here in the spring might be nice both for the truck and for my spirits.
Best.
