I used a Mevotech. Replaced only the faulty one because I needed to have this thing road worthy.
I am planing in down the road get two Timken and replace them both at the same time, and leave the Mevotech as a spare.

NO display Warnings, All systems in green.. Fuel good. etc.. .
X Feels like its gonna stall. ( Waiting for Light at traffic light..)
Light goes Green. I hit the Skinny Peddle.. Slight pause.. takes off.. WHEW.. BUT!!
Find Parking spot.. Toss on the Code Reader.. Nadda! WTF.
watching RPMS. Dropping to 538. then Bounce back up. Hmmm..
Okay, Me thinks. could be AC taking power away.. Turn ac off.. No change.. hmm
Drive again.. can feel the sluggish in drive.. OH WAIT.. I see a flash of Check ENGINE LIGHT.
NOPE off again. Fraken Hell? why flashing.. ugh..
Wait it's returned and stayed on..
I parked soon as the Check Engine light came on.
Code Reader already plugged in. CODE: P0301 Mis fire in Cyl 1.
Crap, I think its Spark plug & Coils. (175K original Sparky's).
Made Bee line to shop I used often!.. Gonna let the Grease Monkey with Fancy Banana Tools to fix.

I mean, option 2 is to look up the safe on the LockpickingLawyers youtube channel and find out how to open it with something stupid like a banana...
Swapped drivetrain fluids, finally. Front/rear diff, transfer case, drain and fill transmission, engine oil/filter. Als, I retorqued leaking oil cooler. Note for second gen owners on this...I ordered a new gasket with intention of swapping gaskets. However, the one I ordered was the wrong size, discovered when I removed the cooler. I still dropped the cooler, wiped down the mating surfaces, wiped down the gasket, reinstalled cooler, and re-torqued the cooler. There's been a leak under there for several weeks now and I think the re-torque has helped, even without installing a new gasket. /knocks on wood/

As long as the old gasket is soft and pliable that'll work.
Mine had gotten hard and snapped apart.
Yes, it was still soft and pliable, fortunately.

Put better gas in it. I found that 87 (instead of the base 85 octane we have here) gives me way better gas mileage.

I'm debating swapping the adjustable shackles for OE shackles. Now that I have the AAL in there, I don't really feel like I need them. But, maybe I just hang on to them for now. I dunno.
I'm definitely going to need to get that alternator in sooner, rather than later. When charging the battery in the trailer and the aux battery in the X, I think I'm only getting 12.8v to the starter battery. The good news is that the chargers shut off when the batteries are full, so that'll go back up. Also, that was at idle. We'll have to see how it does on Friday when we start the BDR.
I may have to unplug the trailer for a bit (easy to do), and then plug the trigger wire in after lunch.

Dang-Nabbit...
Did Fuel up Night before.. Gas monkey might have kept nozzle throttled up... Gauge showed FULL MAX.
Next day, X was parked all day.. in evening jumped in.. Noticed DOTS on the LCD screen.. And poor Check Engine line on... grrr.
Pulled the codes. with my Fancy Reader bought back in 2007 Era.. Cleared codes. Drove another 50 miles, And notice Gas Gauge arrow moving to indicate. YEP, gas is being used..
Nothing out of the ordinary.
Will fuel up at Half tank. and record Gallons dumped in. Then Repeat.. next fill up..
thinking Over fill from the Gas monkey!. If Fuel sending unit is failing should see issues.. eh I hope.

My code reader is from 2007 era. Basic and works.
looking to update it. Holy scat. Have they changed and China clones Etc!
Question: what is a good brand type? Roughly price range $60-$100 ish.
or just keep one I have? Which Does id code, temps, idle speeds. helped on my spark coil failure Few weeks back. Which, glad it lives in glove box.

Fueled up tonight. 14 Gallons Roughly.. ( My Mistake not grabbing Copy OOP's ).
BINGO fuel!!. 11 miles later.. Hmmmmm Error code Awhile back was correct? P0463 PND Fuel Sensor circuit.
Good long run on the Fuel sensor. Since many folks had them fail early on.. Least I got 175K out of mine.. ;-)
Yep, Tracking MPG With 100 mile Buffer zone.. Till I can get it to shop next week Or next.. ;-)

Not as many features as a more modern code reader, but I love my Scangauges II's. You can monitor a lot of things in real time while you're driving, and of course it can read and clear codes.
Here it's set for TPMS, but normally I have MPG, Voltage, AT temp and MPH on the display.
Just another option you might look at.

Yahoo.
went from Zero Fuel to Full Tank 24 hours later..
Algorithms say 15.9 MPG.. could be true.. with summer Junk fuel. Can not trust that..
150 miles on Clock.. Fuel up.
could be just the Fuel sending unit. Peaked out at the top.. and has to drop some For a normal reading again?. Dam thing is a bitch to fix.. WTF someone needs to beat the Engineer who designed that.. Probably drove a HEEP!!. ;-)

FIXED!!. New pump, sensor $$600 plus Mafia taxes, and Pay offs.. DONE.
Tracking miles Per gallon. was fun, but one gets lazy and forgets to write down one number.. Now, the Oh OOP's when is Bingo fuel..
seams the issue was the needle float would get stuck when tank is filled.. With once or twice bounce to Zero and the Little Yeller Light comes on.
New again. good for another 175K
