Upper and lower drag links installed, greased the front end minus wheel bearings, oil change, new fuel pressure adapter cap, added washer fluid (Almost a gallon)
, parking brake adjusted and dropped for alignment check at Firestone. I tried to use my digital calipers but different parts make it more complicated to match. Pretty close though.

Sounds like a good day's worth of work on your rig. Messing with my truck is my "zen garden", but I'm glad I don't have to grease anything...never liked that part of maintenance on my old rigs.
I'm starting to get itchy for my annual "spring cleaning" on the truck. Do a full detail, change the oil, swap out all the common filters. This year I'm going to install a new set of skid plates. Should be a fun day.
Checked out a mechanic shop yesterday that let's you rent a bay by the hour. Might do that next year to change the transmission fluid and a few other things that would be easier to accomplish with the rig in the air.

Look's like some awesome food. How do the Fuel filters work on Ecoboost Engine's?
I have a new name for my truck, kind of late by about 4+ years. Frosty like Frosty the Snowman because it has been thumpity thump since I bought it.

How do you like your Bilstein 5100 shock? Do you have them at the corners or just the steering stabilizer? I'm looking at adding those soon.

Onug- I have the Stabilizer and Front shocks, rears are ProComp ES9000, should replace with Bilsteins this summer though.
They are nice and stiff, I did have to replace the upper bushings with some Energy Suspension versions I got from Billy Bob's off-road last summer. Other then that solid.
ProComp Pro-runner is supposed to be off the same line.
Motion Seconded.

as far from the border as I am. My place to the border is 3 hrs and your location
is 3 more from that.
I really need to go into Vancouver BC to look at some new skates. Have not had
mine on in years and am not sure if they fit any more.

There should be some kind of warning about up coming food pictures. I have to go
change my shirt. It's all wet down the front from drooling. Or, maybe that's from old age...
I dunno,....uh, where was I ? Oh, Yeah! getting a refill, Crown Royal on the rocks....
