The Retrofit Source sells Gore-Tex patches that you can put over the holes that will only let water out but not back in. I use them on my retrofits.

I didn’t say you had to do 75...
but hey. On another note, you sure can’t tell from looking at that truck that it has 330,000 miles on it. Nice work taking care of her and wiping bird shit off her ass. No, I’m not talking about your wife but if need be...

Thanks for the good words. And I have an ex-wife and she wipes her own sorry ass now.
Just order a full set of these to replace all my worn out ones. They just snap into place in the center caps. Huge difference, nice little upgrade mod on the cheap to replace the faded and stripped ones. They thread onto the lugs nice and tight and actually make a ratcheting click noise in the cap when they get snug. I'll get comparison pics when I get a chance, I only replaced a few real bad ones so far that I bought locally, but once I did I had to order the rest to get them all done.

Wow, what a gem. If I was guessing the mileage, I would be off by a couple hundred thousand, talk about highway miles!
On the clear coat scratches and swirls, 3M makes a wonderful product line for buffing that stuff out. Those compounds and an inexpensive Porter-Cable random orbital buffer and the right sponges and you can have it looking like a new paint job in no time.
There might be newer higher tech products available nowadays, but here is what I have always used to take the light scratches that are inevitable, out.

I am HELL BENT to get these new springs installed this weekend after working my balls off 6 1/2 days straight and trying to dodge storm fronts, flooding, high winds, b/s family drama at home and abroad. Hopefully Saturday after my power nap after work and trying to beat this b/s arctic shit show weather coming up.
Original springs in the background, new 3" drop springs in foreground to replace the 2" drop springs I am currently running on the rear axle. I have them oriented in the picture to try and switch the "Chevy lean" from left to right. Pondering leaving the rubber spring isolators out for another 1/2" of drop. Trying to find the sweet spot of drop without the "free travel mod". They say it is 3"-4" MAX. This drop tinkering is such an addiction. Also hoping this will help with my front castor adjustments as well. Baby steps.
DROP DAT ASS, right @iamdub ?
