Just got back from a trip, so no real progress updates. Still waiting on my parts to come in. I did get some good news from the store tho! The manager said that since I spent so much and have been a great customer, he is going to give me a case of Royal Purple ATF! That made my day there. I was a bit upset at my parts still MIA but for Royal purple, I can be patient

 

Great news indeed, if that's how it rains, let it pour!.

 

Damn! thats pretty nice of them

 

Got a new Christmas present from the Ms. Claus!

I can't wait to start rebuilding the front end. I got new knuckles on order, new Moog ball joints, already have new hubs and rotors/calipers. Now shiny new Milemarker lock-outs

Still waiting to get my TCI trans parts. Should be in within a few days.

 

Any woman that will buy stuff for her mans' truck, is a keeper in my books....

 

Thats a nice set of locks you got there

 

Wow, a free case of Royal Purple ATF, and new locking hubs from the significant other (I agree, definitely a keeper!) you are stylin now!

I plan to clean them up and get them coated with paint tomorrow, might try to get the new ball joints pressed in too. I got my weekend project now!

 

Why did you get new knuckles ? And why did they knock most of the spindle studs out ?

 

I have new Moog ball joints to install. I figured I'd be on the safe side and get new knuckles so I have minimal down-time. It was about 60 for both knuckles, well worth the piece of mind to me.

Not sure why they knocked out the spindle bolts, but thats ok, that means I can get fresh studs and nuts for the spindles.

 

If You're like me, the more néw parts, the more piece of mind, and trust you have in your rig....

 

Exactly,

 

Nothing new about those knuckles....but you are right on the down time.....do you have the moogs already ?Look at XRF ...all the super duty guys are going there...make sure you get the correct spindle studs !! very crucial parts !

 

Yeah I've had the Moogs for a couple weeks now. Got em from RockAuto. Hopefully I can get the studs without too much delay.

 

Those little studs carry the load ......amazing what they they take !
