Taking my 06 6.0 for our first trip hauling our new 20 ft had 1/2 ton and pop up for years but when we went up in size decided to use the excuse to get a diesel! My question is if you don't mind what is a general list of pm for a long haul.. Seems to me you got some experience . Lol

Your welcome....Glad to help

 

Washed, cleaned windows (lots of rottweiler spit, why do they like licking the windows).

Tightend up clamps on coolant filter. Going to pick up a blue spring kit tomorrow. Probably put that in Wednesday or Thursday.

 

Saturday, I put a new E Brake backing plate, and rebuilt the parking brake on the P-side. (The drivers side was done 2 yrs ago).
Yesterday I put a new lower Alternator and belt on.
Last week I put a new clutch fan, new pulleys and changed the coolant.
(The secondary alt locked up, and ripped the wires off the old fan, and tore a pulley off the block.)

 

Ouch! Glad ya got it back together
