    The same shit everyone else has.
    Adjusted my headlights. Snapped a quick pick of the backlit shrouds and demon eyes. Both are wired to the parking light circuit right now. I may ended up putting the demon eyes on an ignition circuit

    The passenger side was already pretty flush, though the drivers side sucked in a 1/4 inch

    Planning upon fixing that as well. When i get back to work and using just some hood foam
    We use it to seal hoods on payloaderd.
    Was the last dif properly broke in. There is a certain way to break in new gears. And first oil change at 1k miles will have metal in it. It is the gears wearing together. But that is more than i usually ser.

    What do you plan on using to fix that?
    Oh I see, well I don't have too much faith in those shops to do it right so we'll see what that oil looks like in a few thousand miles when I hit 60k...

    What are these for? I noticed similar spacing in my tailgate... I thought it was normal... But right side does not match the left... looking at the description it says it is to stiff the bed and prevent bed flexing?

    Yep, my ecgs diff pinion bearing blew up in August. It could be left over from the last diff going out, I cleaned out a lot of bedazzle.....

    The diff got broken in correctly (20 miles and cool off, the. 4-5 50 mile heat cycles), changed oil at 700 miles. This is probably 3750-4000 miles on the diff.

    The bedsides tend to separate away from the tailgate over time. Getting offroad and flexing a bit, as well as carrying extra weight in the form of a cap or rack will accelerate this.

    I cleaned barf out of mine tonight. To his credit, the kid did ask me to pull over, but I wasn’t fast enough. (Wish he had rolled down the window...) He basically leaned up against the door and let it rip. Window switch, weather stripping, door pockets, upholstery. So many rags and Q tips. That was a nasty job. Wet okoles would not have helped. It’s all the little crevices that you just can’t protect from projectile vomiting.

    The truck is now drying out in the garage overnight with doors open and baking soda sprinkled liberally all over.

    Parenthood is awesome sometimes.
