Changed leaking pinion seal. While the diff was empty did the cover gasket as well (it was seeping in 2 locations) whole thing took me 4+ hours! Pinched the back of my arm between the creeper wheel and the driveway, and smashed my thumb with the ball peen when seating the new seal. Glad it's done!

Yeah it did. Although, we were right about that odd pipe you gave me. You must still be using oem the short pipe before the muffler that mates up to the cat pipe. I had to purchase a that extender pipe. No problem, got it From Autozone for 10 bucks. I also purchased a couple oem clamps, and hangers from the Ford dealer.
With all that it all bolted Right up perfectly.
Thanks again, I'm thrilled!

New 4x4 decals
Finally decided to replace the old "boring" stock 4x4 decals with something that I think is in standing with the color scheme of my truck, I like them a hell of a lot better than the old ones
I'll have to take a pic of the whole truck for a better perspective of it

I pulled the tag clear covers and installed the 13 stickers over the 12s and then I headed to town where I got her inspected and then drove to the AAP store I work at and checked my schedule and had a sausage biscuit with the guys and even helped a lady install her new wipers as they were busy .... then off to the Exxon for a cup of coffee to wash that biscuit down and get my lotto ticket done ($2) and then I brung her home and mowed grass.
