Decided to do a brake flush since I got myself a Motive bleeder for my other cars. I can’t believe how dirty the old fluid was. So glad I decide to flush it.

In 165,000 miles I don’t think the engine was ever detailed. Rightfully so for a previous prison warden car. There’s a first for everything. Before and after pictures included:

Mine next? I did the Airaid, so it’s still fairly clean.

Took the PPV on a long road trip to Angel Fire, NM. Car drove and performed really well even in zero degree weather. One of the TMPS sensors did not appreciate the cold. Luckily I had spares and a reset tool. First year of ownership I put on almost exactly 20k (150k-170k) trouble free miles.

Truck looks good! Jealous of that push bar! I have been looking for one for mine but no luck yet.

Well saw that my radiator had a tiny leak so decided to replace it. Flushed out the system several times with fresh coolant. While I was in there I put on a new serpentine belt and air filter. Added some power steering fluid as well.

Then I decided to add some red/blue leds near the front visor and rear window. Added some ditch lights for the front and some additional led brake lights for the rear:
