I bought her with 239,000 miles.
One of the first things I did is went with a East Coast Gear Supply bushing on the front left axle. I was getting some slight vibration from the stock needle bearing. Definitely got rid of my vibration problem I had on the highway. Last photo is my home made needle bearing puller...worked like a champ!

What size are your tires? And how much weight did they use to balance them? I may be switching to these after my STT Pros are gone because I am tired of rebalancing 3x on a road force balancer and still having steering wheel shake after a tire rotation...

When I picked the truck up a few months back the guy had already put the tires on. he decided to go with internal balancing beads. I didn't ask him how many ounces he put in each.

Oh wow no wonder they look so beefy. Ive heard of a few people using the beads, I think you just put the same amount in each tire and they move to wherever it's unbalanced. I wonder how they'd look in a 265/75R16...

Yeah he did take care of the truck!
He threw in 4 Icon shocks. Gunna get them rebuilt. The first thing I did was replace the grill. He had his painted black with a bunch of sheat metal screws to hold it together. Lol
