    About a week ago, decided to flush brake fluid, thought I'd pull the drums before it did for a visual inspection. Proceed to have by son operate the brake peddle as I manned the bleeder valve... Forgot to put drum back on.... adjuster got longer.... I didn't realize LEFT side is reversed threaded.... ended up stripping it..... got it back together until I got a replacement part.... replaced to today.

    I know better, just dumb mistake.20200321_122217.jpg

    Rear drums won't warp. Thin sheet metal is usually the culprit but if hung correctly it shouldn't warp

    3" Bilstein 5100, Firestone Airbags & Add a leaf,
    Been browsing this forum for months and never uploaded anything, finally washed the truck so decided it's time to change that and show some of the things I've done. A lot courtesy of this forum :)

    These were not done today but over the past several months but still wanted to show them off.
    Current Mods completed
    • AUXBEAM ditch lights
    • NILIGHT rear bumper lights
    • 32" Amazon cheap light bar (company is AUTOSAVER)
    • Blue Sea Systems 6 Circuit fuse block
    • Bed lights w/ always lit push switch (blue to match the rest of the truck)
    • Plasti dipped wheels with the blue star
    • Switches for all lights in cab
    • Rear diff breather mod
    • MICTUNING RGB rock lights
    • Alpine ILX-W650 head unit with Android Auto/Apple Carplay & back up camera
    • Replaced entire sound system and added amp ( no pictures because didn't want to take everything apart)
    • Custom made unistrut roof rack for SNUGTOP topper.
    • Ultimate headlight upgrade (courtesy of this forum :D)

    More to come soon after browsing this forum for sure but my wallet says to wait a bit.

    Sadly, not much.
    The person I bought my truck from said he replaced the plugs at 56k. I’m at 89k.
    How bad are these?

    and should I be worried or do anything additional?
