Doors? Doors stops would require running Doors.

So far, I have put close to 1600 miles on blue. It's been wheeling several times now too. No major issues but a few small things have shown up.
I dealt with most of the issues this morning. I installed a new seal for the front output of the transfer case. Fixed a driveshaft ujoint grease zerk. Replaced the inner o ring on the speedo gear and another little gasket on the speedo cable. Then I checked the timing and reset that. It needed a bunch of advance.
Took it for a test cruise. Runs much better and is more peppy. No leakage in the repaired areas so far.

I finally got around to cleaning and painting the other front spring that has an add a leaf. I installed it's counter part awhile back. Now it's time to level out the front end.....side to side......lol.
Got a few items ordered and a few more things to address before heading to the Hammers next week.

 

[JackA]

Plugged a few holes in the firewall. Added some defrost hoses. Then wiped it down with some instant detailer. All loaded up and head to the Hammers tomorrow morning.

Just got back today. My F250 tow rig turned 260,000 miles on the way home. Still tows like a champ.
