    Next round of maintenance stuff ordered. Should be here this week. Hopefully knock that out sooner rather then later. Then exhaust and back to mods.

    Just gotta make it trough this wedding first. Not gonna lie. Being the “Best Adult” has made my wallet angry.

    You need to choose your friends more wisely.Sounds like they are all nice people other people are willing to marry.PRO TIP if your friends are Asshats no one will want to marry them saving you lots of money for truck stuffs

    Ehhh She's an asshat, and my best friend... who's marrying an hot nurse so I can't fault her for that. And given that 90% of my friends that have gotten married the last few years, I've been the photographer for their weddings, I can't really complain. Besides... I get to rock a custom fitted suit. >_> Picture in next post.. and yes.. it really is happening.

    Did some reading up today, and I think I may just swap out the UCA's all together. These seem to be the smarter route to go given living in the salt belt. While Stainless may be an alternative fix, I don't have the means or patience to do the swap. Hopefully after the wedding settles down, I'll grab these:
    http://camburg.com/shop/suspension/...wd-05-17-performance-balljoint-upper-arm-kit/

    And knock out the UCA's and Exhaust this fall. The squeak is really starting to annoy me, and has ruined any attempt at stealth in that truck. :rofl:

    Heh. So more lessons today working on the truck. Spark plugs and fluids should be maintained.

    112,681 miles on everything since I got the truck under 30,000 pretty sure everything is from factory that we did today.

    Here I am thinking that aside from the squeaks and such the truck is running pretty good... lemme tell ya the ride home was awesome!

    (Thanks Dennis!!)

    Don't mind this update, kinda just using this as a journal any more for the truck... keeping myself on track.

    Rear tire was down to 18psi last night. Made a pit stop on the way home, took them over an hour to find the bugger. Lodged down deep in the tread. $15.00 well spent. No more squish.

    Right. So College starts officially next week, hoping to order the UCA's and get the exhaust done before the end of this year. Fingers cross. I'm not sure what will come first, between the surgery and school. But I'll be happy if half of this gets done.

    They squeek worse then my knee on a snowy, sleety, rainy day. I gotta take them out to replace the uni-ball, so I'm just gonna replace them with the new enclosed ones. For being hand-me-downs I really can't complain how long they lasted either, they're the ones I got from @Arcticelf

    Cost of new LCA vs. cost of replacing w/ SS Uniball...

    :spending:

    It's not difficult with a press...


    Just sayin...

    HA! I did, cost me $15.00 to get it fixed.
    Work. I asked the guy to go over the area he was working in with the magnet, along with picking up his 20 plus cigarette butts he threw on the ground. We can see how well that went. I should've known when I had to pick up his smokes that he didn't go over the ground with the magnet.
