Fuel filter and new Michelin LTX MS2 tires later..
Good news for me. The trans fluid is nice and red. Better news is that I found a dirt road to try the 4x4 and everything worked out great. The G80 diff seemed to work as well, I'm super happy about this.

We had a huuuge rainstorm! I found that the rear carpet was getting soaked. The trim seemed OK at the rear hatch. What I did find is that the gromet that holds the wire loom in place seemed old and loose. I used some clear silicon sealant to hopefully take care of the leak.
I also decided to replace the cabin filter. It seems that it has never been changed. 12 years of crap in the filter. All the crap on the ground and on the paper towel is only a part of the shit I found. Lesson here is to replace your cabin filter once in a while.

Kinda a pain but pales in comparison to what I've already done. I'm so shocked at how abused this truck was. I don't mind since I wanted a hobby car, but goddamn what a lazy ass that owned the truck before me. If the McDonalds wrappers are any indication and the huge ass groove in the drives seat I'm working out, I doubt a large and or muscular hard working man or woman had the truck before me. I'm leaning to some bloated lazy land manatee.
I had to rebuild the driver parking brake again tonight. Dumb me again. I left too much rust on the inner surface which ground to a fine lubricating powder. Soooo over time the parking brake started working worse and worse. A wire brush and grinder later and all is well.
I still need to do the front wheel bearings, but I've spent $$$$ lately and the wifey has started to notice.....
Crap, look what Amazon is shipping me..... I feel good and bad at the same time.
2 new front wheel bearing assemblies from Timken. The current ones have 141k miles on them and sound like metal scraping at higher speeds.
Eaibach sway bar kit. This truck is a real butt clencher in the turns. I'm used to more stability. I hope this helps.
THEN I go on spending freeze... maybe after a stereo upgrade and some new leather for the front seats... and I need carpet, yes carpet and some nice floor mats.

Truck is coming out nice man. Funny how Amazon mysteriously ships parts to you..

It doesn't look like the "spending freeze" is going to happen. Looks like it's just getting started

It will peter off once I deem the truck road trip worthy. Wifey and I want to take it storm chasing soon.
Then next year starting in spring I'll be doing the 14SF rear end and 4L85E setup. Perhaps a total engine rebuild as well in preparation for a turbo setup.

Oh and I forgot to comment on how awesome Amazon Prime is. I've saved $$ in shipping. Add to the fact that Amazon car parts are 50% the cost of local prices. I feel like a chump dumping money for my brake rebuild using Autozone. Live and learn.
