I thought is was decent for the money since it does live data which was what I wanted it for after diagnosing some wiring/sensor issues.

I'll grab it at the picnic next week if you don't need it..

cleaned and detailed interior of this thing last night.  looks like a new truck again.  finally got all the KOH sand out.

finished 30K service and lube.  no grease fittings present on 4x4 front shaft.



both front unit bearings and wheel u joints have non zero play which i thought pretty odd for a 29K truck.  nothing grease able of course ujoint or ball joint wise.

they want 2 weeks to do it? I did it in 2 weeks while working my day job and having to weld the bellhousing together.

I guess they want to be able to wait for parts?

Good news though!

That is insane that they want a customer with a "commercial" truck to be without it for 2 weeks.

Did you tell them in the winter. lol

i should have just said do it when he called to talk to me but that would have left me with a jeep to get an entire picnic supplys to attica lol

going in Aug1.  im sure they sched 2 weeks for delays.  id imaging 1 day tear down, 1 day trans inspection, 3 days parts, 2 days assembly. 



im more worried about why they are going to do wrong than the time frame.

Interested to find out what parts.

Mine seems to be running cooler after rebuild - but warmer than historical norms... 220-240 instead of 190-210. Was hitting 270 before I went through it. Seems fine.
