    All are right around 100* passenger side is about 5* warmer. Starting to lean back towards the trans input. Frequency changes between 4th and 5th. Doesn't explain the change when turning though. It's started leaking at the sandwich plate so it needs to come apart soonish anyway. Might attempt a rebuild on it.

    My driver seat was finally starting to tear up with 250k on the clock.
    20210913_200047.jpg 20210913_200120.jpg 20210913_200253.jpg Got these seat covers off Amazon since they were the only ones I could find for the 60/40 seats.
    Not as bad as I expected! They actually fit really well and look very durable.

    Those are technically still "Angel" eyes. A demon eye is a bulb behind the projector lens that lights it up. Looks good either way :thumbsup:

    I did a test fit under there but my brackets were missing and the tire/rim were not snug at all.
    Made me concerned that the OEM tire winch thing is the only thing holding that tire there.

    yeah there was that recall of the spare tire carrier for our trucks because the chain would break easily once it started to rust, no one wants to drive behind someone that just dropped a spare wheel/tire onto the road lol.

    Bracket just keeps it in place

    If the rear end doesn't rust off first.

    My winch was jammed when I bought in so I had it replaced with a new OEM one. It's a pita since it requires lifting the bed to access the bolts so I had a mechanic do it.

    I tried to cut through the bracket but it ate up 2 dremel cutting wheels pretty quickly so I think I'm just going to leave the brackets off until I pick up somethign w/mo powah :sawzall:
