Tried swapping around tires with my spare last night to fix a rear-end shake/vibration to no avail. Next up is to pull the driveshaft, lock the diff, and see if it goes away in 2WD.
You could have stopped by my house and picked up the non nav kit while you were here lol.
Added some side lights. They were 6 for $30 on amazon. I don’t want really bright lights so these should be good. Next up my 24 gallon auxillary tank install.

Added my Auxbeam 8 gang switch panel, prospeed ditch mount brackets, Diode Dynamics SS3 sport flood ditch mounts, and tint!
Removing the driveshaft solved most of the problem so a replacement and new u-joints are in order. Still not as smooth as I believe it can be, but the combination of MTs and worn bushings are likely to blame. Bushings will be my spring project.

Just a casual Thursday?
Haha, pretty much.
Hmmmm, details please, this is a new one on me.
How hard was it to pull the engine?
Not that hard, but it wasn't the first motor I've pulled either. Was there something specific about it you would like to know? Feel free to Pm me if you have questions.
I'll pm you.
275k miles. It wasn't dead yet just bleeding externally from the headgaskets. Ran fine but it wasn't something I was comfortable taking on long trips off grid.
Probably just age. After 20 years the headgaskets just had enough. Having a spare motor sitting in the corner of the garage ready to go in made it an ez decision.

Some of us are farsighted enough to have heater-Ts and brake pads sitting in the garage … others have entire motors
Last little bit:
One of the twins got a huge rock in windshield just before Thanksgiving, so was able to order new trim from Decatur (still processing) on Cyber Monday.
Same twin backed into our driveway gate post, looks like is should pull - no gashes in the paint. Just breathe, I try to look it as a "Learning Experience" as no one got hurt.
Changed oil and took an oil sample for the first time (and made a big mess doing so). Will post the results when they are back.
Finally, the youngest named the truck after three years - LARRY.
Recovery points!
