    Real quick:
    Going to replace a transfer case switch indicator coming up in the next week or so. Should I do a write-up for people diagnosing 4x4 issues? Seems pretty simple to do and might help someone looking at different 4x4 issues.

    Also new to this thread so here's my stock rig:

    I've put a tonneau cover on it since this was taken but that's it.

    Recently replaced the valve cover gaskets, did the PCV valve while the cover was off. No leaks and seems to run/idle a little better with the new PCV. Now just gotta wash the engine and move on to the next project which is the coolant bypass upgrade, then should be good for a few more years before 200k maintenance is due.

    Good looking rig. Welcome.

    As for the writeup? If there isn't already one, then I would do it and post in the the technical chat or general 2nd gen forum for maximum coverage

    It's a Shop Vac brand. I can't find the model number but it's a 14 gallons, 4.5 HP, in Lowes colors. Purchase from Lowes. It's over 10 years old and was sitting in the box but I just started using it this year.

    Time for some 80k mile love.

    - Oil/filter change
    - Freshen up the power steering fluid
    - New air filter
    - New wiper blades
    - Rotate the tires
    - Spray the intermediate shaft u-joint with Liquid Wrench rust inhibitor

    Only bought the Truck and SUV flavor because back in the summer Meijer had it on sale for $5 off + a $12 rebate and filters $2 off. Made for a $16 OC. All other flavors were sold out. :thumbsup:

    It was. For the most part the snow melted on contact. The grass was the only area that got covered.

    It looks like the same vac.

    I brought the filter with me to Lowes but I couldn't find one that was the same size. I'm going to look for the owners manual to see if there a part look up section for the filter part number. I think the second link is the correct filter. If it is, I'll see if it can be ordered.
