    Too much to list!
    Good reasons. I always thought it strange they put the automatic parking brake there while the manuals used the old pull rod parking brakes.

    I am sure you will post when you have completed it. Love to see it completed.

    I replaced the A/C compressor clutch. Not too difficult, just a little PITA. Took about 2 hours. It's nice having A/C again since it's mid-upper- 60s during the day!:bananadead:

    Cleaning steps:
    1) Touch-less wash
    2) Foam Cannon pre-wash
    3) Wash, (2 buckets, one soap, one rinse)
    4) Rinse off
    5) Dry
    6) Any clay or touch-up needed
    7) Wax on truck
    8) Wheel wax
    9) Tire shine
    10) Interior detail (whole other story haha)

    Total Time Elapse: 2.5 hours

    Foam Cannon:
    The foam cannon was home made. I haven't made a write up of it yet, but I should have one soon. You can also find them all over Amazon. I suggest the ones you attach to a power washer, not the ones you connect to a hose. The hose ones don't seem to have enough power to get dirt off.

    How do you like the 4200? I was planning on the 8200 but might "settle" for this instead.

    I like the 4200. I originally ordered the 8201, but my buddy (a Pioneer wholesale distributor) convinced me the 4200 would get me by as a placeholder until the replacement for the 8201 comes out. So once Pioneer releases the 8201 replacement, I'm getting that.

    Figured I saw enough info on how to do the rear diff oil, might as well do it. Only 22K KM on the truck, but cant hurt to do it. Had the wife help and it went nice and fast, less than 1 hour from start to finish.

    @boogie3478 thanks for recommending gloves, made it so much easier lol.

    Ha ha I'm glad I could help. I had to wash my hand multiple times before that stank diff oil smell finally went away.
