Pretty good so far.
Good morning Jay.
I have a list to do at a GTG too, though it is a little more ambitious than checking for coolant leaks and bolting a few parts on............
I'll keep an eye open for one, they seem to be a lot harder to come by than the long boxes that's for sure. Yeah, much easier to remove 6 or 8 bolts than mess with cutting spot welds and lining the new panels up and re welding everything.
Well hopefully the leak is an easy one to fix. Cosmetic can be fixed relatively easy. The main thing is mechanically it is good!
Sounds like we need a gtg in the future to get some work done on these trucks. Maybe a two day event or something. I would like to have one out here I am thinking end of April or early May. I will know more on timing once I get all my goodys ordered up for the truck.

Hey guys! If one of these GTG's are late enough into May, I'll most likely be there! I have a strange lean in my truck lately... Someone told me my springs might be going bad... if I could risk the drive back home again, I'd probably wait til then, unless it's something that could prove detrimental to the health and wellness of my truck.... I could probably do my shocks at the same time.

Do you have any connections through work Dave? Also, long bed or short bed?

Well if they are bad enough you should be able to hear them. If you are driving down the road and swerve left and right or going around curves the sound should change. If it does that is a pretty good sign of a bad wheel bearing. I am not sure how to desribe the sound exactly......

Jay I can't believe you had problems with the Cryo rotors, I take it they are out of wty. I have had mine 3 1/2 years and even had one get up to 300 degrees with a seized caliper and they are still solid. I got mine from a place in Burnsville........Maybe it wasn't fully Cryo'd......Just a thought...
