Trimmed my dust shield and all is well. Whenever I get down to the knuckles I will just get rid of the dust shields. They only seem to either rust out, or trap rocks between the rotor and it.

Lame update, next week is valve springs and push rod install

Since you're gonna have the valve covers off anyway.....

Are you gonna look into spraying bedliner on the covers

Or go all the way and nab those billet mama jamas and let us peasants know how they do.

I very much look forward to your experience with the new springs, RR billet valve covers, and SD UVCH since I know you are planning on doing it all at the same time

No point in SD UVCH for these trucks. Just replace stock ones. The first ones lasted this long. Want Superduty benefits? Get a Superduty....

I feel personally attacked

I like my single plug set up. But I also like making life harder and messing with something for the sake of messing with something
