some routine maintenance... swapping wheels, noticed both rear rotors were wore down pretty good, passenger is the one abs tries to slow down so the pads were about gone on that side, some cracking between the drilled holes on both sides. those were the powerstop rotors, were on for a couple years i think no complaints so i ordered another pair of them. tire guy said it felt like driver front wheel bearing was goin, i think i changed passenger side a while ago so that makes sense.

I look the entire truck over before every race :angels2:

Lol nah shit keep loosening up i was going to put some loctite on there so I could keep doin it


/\

sooo apparently i prob should start doin this for real :banghead:
ive had a slight oil leak coming from the front of the oil pan for a while, ive tightened em and retightened the front cover bolts and front pan bolts whatever it was always only a little bit that just blew under the truck.
as i was leaving this morning i saw maybe 6" round oil spot under truck bugged me all day so i came up with a plan to pull all the front cover bolts, rtv the threads themselves, clean it up, reset the front cover, yada yada.
get home, get it jacked up, crawl under....bottom is soaked with oil, its now dripping from the oil filter also and all down the driver side of the pan. cleaned up as much as i could ran outta brake cleaner went ahead and took front cover bolts out, rtv'd the front pan bolts to cover. and since i was down there figured i would make sure all the pan bolts were tight.....well eff me, i prob got another 1/4-1 full turn out of pretty much all of them, and prob another turn on the oil filter too.
ive heard of the 2step just rattling the hell out of everything and people literally loctite'ing every single bolt on the car
