Well, it's freezing here in Jersey (still) and I managed to get the driver side upper and lower ball joints done. Man something about taking a sawzall to anything on my truck just gets me giddy! (lower ball joint) lol I still have to replace the passenger side upper and lower ball joints this weekend. As well as the idler arm bushings. But after throwing everything back on the driver side and before taking it off the hi-lift i noticed play in the tire. A slight wiggle from outside in... so If i stand facing the fender and grab the tire and push in towards the wheel well it has about a 1/3 of a inch wiggle. I'm thinking it's probably the wheel bearings. But I could be wrong. So If I am wrong let me know.
I also finally figured out where all my coolant is going. Small drips from the lower hose that connects onto the heater core. It looks like the clamp is loose. I did what I could as far as tightening it down while I was at the gas station but it looks like I'll be looking into that this upcoming weekend as well.
As of right now I may not be wheeling the truck at the shocker run. I'll still be going but not wheeling.
Oh and on a better note.. I'm getting new tires! MT/R's! I'm thinking of going with a wider tire this time. I like the look of the wider tries on other peoples trucks so why not put something wider on mine!
