Just doing all front axle seals, ball joints, and hub assemblies on the SD. Once all that is done, it needs a power steering pump, and I think I have a boost leak to find and fix. Its been a year since I've had it on the road, which reminds me, I also have a brake issue to sort out.
In other news, I bought this on Saturday. Either $500 to ship it home, or a 7-8 hour drive... decisions, decisions.
What's you plan on your truck? Nice avatar btw!

He has never had a hair cut in 4 years.
Pretty hair, but too much. He can hardly play. His hair is past his waist.
IDK. My son is an idiot.
This coming from an old man with hair to the middle of his back.LOL

you don't see many 7.3's in Hillsborough because the noise of the engine scares the snowflakes that live there.

IDI with aftermarket turbo and a 4" pipe ought to bark pretty loud up there for the snowflakes...…….

Nope, not that bad Glenn! How the heck did you manage to do that?!

I sure do! I need to get the SD rolling because we are going to sell the wife's car and get a freaking minivan. She's pregnant again, so that will be 3 kiddos for us. Also 3 kids in the back seat of an OBS extended cab isn't going to work too well. The OBS will be parked a lot in the near future, which is good I guess.
I just can't believe how much $$$ its taking to get this front axle freshened up. Should have just sold it, and got a different truck. The FLAPS headache is reason enough. I'm getting impatient in my old age. lol.
