I need to dig out all my big boy tools for the event.

I was thinking about doing a brake flush.....would this be a good place for that? Don't want to create a big mess.

I believe Stewart has a write up on it which I should review.

Brake flushes are easy and don't make a mess at all.

I'll bring my Motive brake bleeder, just remind me the Friday before, please.

All y'all just bring enough brake fluid for a flush. The Motive bleeder works pretty quickly so we can do as many trucks as needed.

Maybe I can get some help pulling my exhaust apart up to the downpipe so I can swap in some new clamps.

What is wrong with it?

And who could have broken your clamp?

Door seals
I just did the seals, really made the cab quieter. Kinda surprised me. Did not cure the little scratchy squeak just behind my left ear on cold mornings, tho. I'll bring the can of silicone spray and the fish tape and we'll git er dun! 50 feet barely did my CC but should be plenty for yours. Had to stitch a couple lengths together so I slid a bit of vacuum line inside with a few drops of krazy glue.

If the new seals are same design as the old, I'd be tempted to run the tubing anyway. Bulks 'em up! You want kitty-cat seals on a truck with Ranch Hands?

Anybody have a good size hole saw to put a sleeve on an AIS? Or would a swiss cheese approach be ok?

Sitting here thinking about breakfast... chicken fried steak was good but I'm gonna try to get around one of those Maseratis this time.

Dibs!

Also, today is your last chance to order something from Clay if you want me to bring it back down. I am heading up to Oregon tonight and will be stopping by the Riffraff offices tomorrow. Call Clay so he knows to have it ready for me.

Hey Stewart can you bring you drimmel? Peter is picking a F5 in dash mount for me at clays and I want to put it in where you (had/have) your on your blue truck

Peter the tubing is yours. It won't be enough to do all your doors but at least two
