I think next time I rebuild my shocks I will just repaint them white and add rancho stickers instead of running fox stickers...

What about clear powder coat finish? -TP

232k miles, I have been chasing a intermittent TSS sensor fault that was causing erratic and harsh shifts and causing the transmission to hang in second or third gear. I replaced the transmission valve body control unit and added a performance automatic deep transmission pan and a dipstick kit...

I have been chasing a intermittent TSS sensor fault causing erratic shifting and hanging in second or third gear, i replaced the valve body control assembly, filter a performance automatic deep trans pan and their trans dipstick kit. All seems to be normal now, after re-calibration and a 45...

thanks for the input, the thing I am really concerned about is how bad/loud the drone will be when I tow my travel trailer. DD it is mostly only me in the truck and I can live with some but towing is the whole family and it may cause an issue.

lol by hand they suck. there is a bench vice tool that is supposed to make it easier but I have not made the $350 leap yet.

just going to leave this here...

100% agree spending some money on a good truck you already own is better than having a 1K/month payment on a new one.

My A/C would blow cold for about a minute and then warm, airflow was terrible and blend door actuators were toast. see the post here I found a layer of dirt about 1/4 inch thick on the evaporator that was causing the compressor the "short cycle" and the humidity sensor would always think it was...

hah i was almost there too, as soon as I found the broken studs I was contemplating having it towed to a mechanic but since the wife is working virtual I was able to steal her car and drive my land cruiser to work instead. lets just say my land cruiser's mpg makes me happy to be driving the...
