    Did you use a voltmeter? I would try a reset button if there's one.

    Nuttin' with tuna sammies! I'm a fan :hungry:

    The sausage peppers and onions was fuel for two fantastic forum members @EatSleepTacos & @twheat40 who installed my suspension upgrade all day today.

    Well at 0900 today #RandyFab and #TylerWorks showed at Mi Casa and immediately commenced to upgrad my suspension.

    I was in the garage the night before organizing and cleaning 16 years of clutter and chaos.

    download_20181006_211434~2.jpg

    download_20181006_211414~2.jpg

    I made sure I had everything ready for them. Including Danish and pumpkin donut holes for energy. We also had some mountain dew, Tyler's fav.

    Randy started in the back on the right and Tyler jumped on the left. Rock-n-roll!

    20181006_093823~2.jpg

    20181006_093833~2.jpg

    I was in awe.

    20181006_094842~2.jpg

    20181006_102753~2.jpg

    Resi's :drool:

    Then Tyler lit it up!

    20181006_103008~2.jpg

    20181006_103010~2.jpg

    20181006_103011~2.jpg

    The momentum was incredible!

    20181006_103036~2.jpg

    20181006_104018~2.jpg

    I think they clocked it at just about 2 hours.

    Then we moved to the front!!!

    20181006_114755~2.jpg

    Master of this Universe :bowdown:

    20181006_122837.jpg

    There's the beef!

    20181006_131602~2.jpg

    Freakin' tools everywhere! And Tyler's got his back!

    20181006_131605~2.jpg

    20181006_141322.jpg

    Installing the new ECGS bushing from @vrod (you rock Son!)

    It took all day but it was 110% worth it all to me! No way could I do this myself.

    TADAAAAAA!

    20181006_165651~2.jpg

    Who's up there now?! :yes::woot::yay:

    20181006_165703.jpg

    20181006_165717.jpg

    20181006_165911~2.jpg

    20181006_165924~2.jpg

    And then, as quickly as they came, we ate some sausage and pepper sandwiches, some cold beverages and like true heros they rode off on their white horse!

    20181006_165903~2.jpg

    I just want to say that a lot occurred today. Parts and tools were everywhere during certain parts of the process and I was completely overwhelmed most of the time. A lot of this was way over my head and I tried to follow along and ask questions along the way! It wasn't without minor issues but #RandFab had tricks up his sleeve. At one point we had a length of rope around the inner axle housing and a 36" pipe wrench for the weight to use as a means to forcibly jank on the axle to pull it out. Necessity is the mother of all inventions! It worked as intended. Then, because I failed to buy a seal puller we had to get creative again. Just about the time we were ready to send me to the auto parts place once again, #RandyFab got it!

    So all in all, a couple hiccups not withstanding I'd say Randy and Tyler were amazing and very knowledgeable and I'd trust either of them to do any work on my truck without question!

    This forum is great but them members make it amazing.

    Both the wife and I thank you very much Randy, and Tyler. Thank you very much!!!

    :cheers:
