The Lair

Ripped up the old floor. Gotta redo the plumbing for the new tub/shower

 

ohhhh yeahhhhh you been showering at work hahaha that's what I was trying to remember lol at least that is an option for you!

 

Oh man, those motherfucking seals ahaha is yours leaking?

 

no no not at all, well I hope not hahaha I don't think so hahaha just wondering, I want to have everything I need for when I start to work on the truck in the spring. when I install my lift, I will also be replacing the front diff and t case gear oil, and while I have the fluid out I will be putting the ECGS bushing in, just want to make sure the seal that came with the bushing is the only seal I should replace. I am also thinking of replacing my outer tie rod ends and sway bar end links with some Moog ones, they are good price and greasable so I might give them a try.

 

That thread is pure awesomeness!

I would highly suggest you to inspect your seals at the hubs. Mine were shot, and long before that I had one shot, leaving the door open for dirt and salt to get in the hub and scrap my bearing... you can take a look at my thread for seals and part numbers, I linked them on the first page

Do you have the 35mm socket for the axle nut and a torque wrench that goes over 150lbs? You can ask help if you want I removed everything 4 time haha becoming a pro

when I did my axle and seals, there was a thread going on the same week/week end, with like 3 others guys with the same problem of a leaking seal, such a pain in the ass!

 

Oh I saw some on ig

 

Tires i definitely torque with a wrench. Scares the crap outta me when these tire changing shops just go to town with air wrenches

 

Get a pic of the guts?

 

Are we no longer rocking taco avatars?

 

I’d visually inspect it and if it’s not leaking, don’t mess with it. I was being proactive by changing both, and that bit me in the ass. I’d still buy it as it’s cheap to have in hand just in case.

I wanna get me some of those torque sticks. They’re damn cool.

 

I will just buy one haha might as well have one on hand! thanks! I need to buy a 35mm socket, might as well add it to the tool box! I am going to be taking a week off from work to get all the work done, start on Saturday morning at the rear of the truck and work my way forward hahaha lets home for nice weather!

 

Skip the Moog end links. They are garbage!

 

damn haha cuz OEM are like 3x the cost hahaha OEM are 145$ and the Moog's are like 50

 

I was going to offer you to borrow my tools, but it is a way better decision to just buy them! When I bought mine they were out of stock of 35 so I got a 1"3/8, and fits nice too

 

We were talking about the tw stickers in the SC thread. Bob just sent one of our guys a package of stickers to send out to local guys. We can only guess the shop is for guys who can't wait to get one.

 

thanks man I appreciate it! pretty sure I have all the other tools I may need, but if not I always have my work van to make a drive to the store

 

yeah I suppose that could be a possibility haha but it takes away from the excitement!

 

Long prybar to punch the axle out? Be sure to have everything! Nothing pisses me more off than having to leave to work I am doing to grab a tool somewhere else haha the worst is when my gf is not home and I don't have another vehicle

 

I actually don't have one, I will add it to my list of things to buy hahaha

 

Prybar for the win! My CVs came out so easy with one.
