What did you do with your truck/shop today

[RyanbabZ71]

Just finished fluid changes in the front diff, rear diff, and t-case. Used all Amsoil. Went ahead and changed the rear diff gasket with a new Lubelocker. Original one looked good but I had it so I used it.

How many miles on your truck?

37k. Plan on doing trans pan drop, filter change, then fluid change to Amsoil around 40-45k. I'm having a shop perform that though.

 

Rear diff fluid was pretty bad. T-case fluid looked good, but the magnet had quite a bit of shavings. Front diff fluid condition looked about the same as the t-case. For a truck that came from a Michigan owner, it doesn't look like it spent much time in auto or 4x4.

Saturday added another 2oz bag to each tire. Still not balancing out, guess it's back to the wheel weights. As far as I can tell rims and shocks are fine.

 

Sunday tossed a kayak into the back of my truck and went to Wekiwa Springs with some co-workers. Out of the 10+ that were supposed to go only 5 showed up on time and we didn't wait for the rest. Was a nice over cast day. Saw some little gators too.

Just took picture of 2 way remote

I can turn radio station, see miles, tire pressures, fuel level.

Can be used on 2 vehicles. But I think it'll only work 07 to 10 model years. Too bad won't work with the 13.

Yup, this means it failed to flash 3 times in a row. Maybe good now but (burnt/broken ) filaments will tend to do this. Replace both since the other side is probably about to die too.

Thank you, sir. I thought so, but just wanted to make sure.

I need to do this to mine since I just bought it like 3 weeks ago.

I just now noticed that the owner's manual states to fill the rear diff to 0.04" - 0.70" below the fill hole. I filled it cold until it weeped out the fill hole, then pulled some out with my finger until it didn't run out anymore. You all think I should take more out? Maybe get it to operating temp then remove the fill plug again and let it l level out? Last thing I need is my rear axle seals leaking...

I don't think that little of an amount is going to make any seals blow. As long as the vent is clear, clean, and not kinked, it'll be fine.

[dirtfan21]

I'll double check everything again tonight. I'm sure it will be fine, my OCD kicked in on me I guess haha.

I think I will be leaving this site, or at least not participating any more. Don't like being told that if I can't help forum members that I shouldn't be here. So if this is the general consensus this will be my last post.

Who told you this?

Added some under the hood lighting today. Turned out really great. Also installed those frame plugs and some reverse LED lights.

So apparently when you overheat the engine, the OLM decides to go from 67% to 0%.

 

And I mean overheat

I have seen 242 pulling. I'll tell ya a billet grill restricts a lot of air.

I've gotten this hot before going up a 7 percent grade with a 10,000 pound trailer. It just shut off going up the hill.

 

This time it was idling in the driveway for about 20-30 mins with the AC on. I came out and it was puking.

 

It blew off the puke tube and then I tried to fill it up with water temporarily and it shot water out
