Still waiting to have some time to install the fan on the Mule.

I just finished installing new rear rotors and brake pads on Mierda Blanca (00 F250 CCLB 4x4)

Shiny!

How were the guide pins? I only ask due to the history of the truck and the recent mudding adventures where the differential was contaminated.

They looked alright but the grease was dry, I reused them just gave them a good clean with brake clean and a long wire brush in the bore and some scotch Brite on the slide pins and good as new.

It is nice that you and your father can work on this project together toward a common goal. This is something that you will remember for many years to come.

Looks like the battery powered kids car in the background could use a bit of a tune up once you are finished with the Monte Carlo.
