[D21FJ60]

I got all kinds of stuff to do also-
-PS flush
-Driveline grease
-Figure out A/C condition
-Inspect front end on a lift
-Tune up

Theres more . ..

The knuckle comment was an exemplar of the non-typical job at a tech day.
Just a reminder to those who may not be aware, the LX470 starter is here:

@OTRAMM : what is the book hours for this job?

Friendly advice: A way to become very unpopular very quickly is to show up to a tech day as the new guy (with no time helping others in the club) with a very complex/dirty/all-day/or multi-day job with the expectation of getting free labor.
This is not to discourage you from working on your truck nor is it to say these things can't be done during a tech day (though radiators and messy coolant related jobs are also not a club tech day favorite) and getting help during a tech day, just to ease into it with a couple small, or pressing jobs, and see how the whole thing works.
One of the best ways to get people to help with the bigger jobs is to pay it forward by helping others out and building up credit and credibility before bring in a big job.

Sorry for the massive quote but to clarify I was not expecting to do all the work on my truck at once at a tech day. More of a take your pick of which one I can knock out with help.

I would like to put the fan back in my rear heater and add a 12V power source.
Other than that I'll help anybody with anything.

I have a rear heater...

You can probably get the 1st 4 no problem...
The tune up depends on what a tune up entails.

I needed the fan motor. @shmukster and I made a deal on one ; it's on the way and if it works its going in. But thank you.

 

[Stumpalama]

how strong of a grinder (or other tool) is needed to potentially cut coils to the right height?

Don't know that I'd want to cut coils... That's ricer s***e.

Plugs, oil and filter, trans (?) And diffs and coolant

Book on a 4.7 starter is around 5 hours depending on the guide.

And that's a pro doing it...

A pro with all of the special tools ...

Fair enough. It would be a lazy way to resolve a problem if swapping still didn't fix it

What is the issue you are trying to address.

 

[rrc swb]

Don't cut them... It's not as simple as cutting an inch to lower it an inch.

The most important things is that you are affecting the structural integrity of the coil and it can create metal fatigue. That's NO BUENO.

And that's a pro doing it...

No joke... 15 hours if I do it. LOL

Anywhoo... If possible, I'd like to do a"go-over" my truck. To get acquainted to my new rig.

 

[D21FJ60]

Second this

Understandable. I will adjust fire.

Goodies via UPS today! I'm ready...

 

[captainva]

I was looking at ordering those when I do my lift hopefully some time this summer. Are you running stock arms right now and is there a reason that you got those over the SPCs? I'm trying to decide between those two options

Check out the uppers the @TRAIL TAILOR is making. We've done a few sets and they are waaaaay nicer than the SPC's

 

[captainva]

Are those for the 100 or 120 series? I don't see really anything for the 120 series on their site

 

[OTRAMM]

I'm pretty sure we've done both 100 and 200. I know 100 for sure.

I don't think they have them for a GX...
