Definitely not the stealership. Although it will be going there as soon as I get it back for the clock spring recall. I’m sure they’ll tell me it needs $1000 worth of other stuff

The old front U Joint for the rear driveshaft. I’m lucky I didn’t pole vault the truck on the way back from FL 😬

ouch!! I’m no mechanic , but the thought crossed my mind when I was driving “what if the drive shaft falls out in the front” Had a few mini freak outs every time I thought of it. But, alas, I was spared and after all of this work, she should run like a top with few worries

prayer glue was the only thing holding it together. 😂

Still in the shop. No leveling kit installed, I guess it threw everything off. Needing upper and lower ball joints, so there’s another $300. I hope I’m not in over my head 🤔. That should be the last thing needed, for now.
So far- new clutch, new universals, upper and lower radiator hoses, new tranny mounts , new fuel filter, radiator flush, rear diff fluid and gasket and ball joints getting done now- $1400 total. Decent price for all of the work, I guess

He said the engine is in great shape. With all of these repairs, hopefully she’ll stay on the road a few more years

Agreed.

Hubs were shot too, so I’m replacing them with Warn stainless hub lockers. I assume Warn is one of the better ones. Correct?
