    Did it include clearcoat? If not, you'll be lucky if it lasts 2-3 months.

    I'm not sure. After polishing, sanding, and polishing, it had two wetnap things. One was a "base coat", and one was a "sealant". As long as it gets me through next week, I'm good. I'll look into a more thorough method after that.

    Perfect, I'll swing by tomorrow. I bought a 24F in 2018 and realized the 27F is what my truck came with.

    Just finished up an oil change. I finally reinstalled my skid plate, and greased the driveline for the first time.

    I can confirm that the Lock-n-Lube fits on all of the driveline zerk's, even that hard to reach one in the center of the double cardon joint.

    Truck still looks damn good underneath, I kind of forgot about all that work I did :rofl:

    Wipe them with WD40 after each car wash and the clarity will last a little longer... believe it or not. Those kits work pretty well.

    Nope. They'll get replaced before they get a gram of grease :)

    Does that read ABS codes? I’ve been looking into that one.

    A week after hosing down the frame and undercarriage I powered up the air compressor and blasted air in all the frame rails and got about 2 pounds of dirt and pebbles out.

    I don’t know how you got it on there but I may just go with their 90 degree LNL121 or LNL129 fitting.

    Man, drive that truck or bring here to the DC area and make a mint off the sale. A non rust belt low mileage truck like that would fetch some nice cash here.

    I think you are doing more harm than good by not driving it. It needs to be opened up so when you do drive it, drive it. Don't baby it and drive it for some distance to let it run at normal temperature.

    Straight zerk here, too. Place shaft in right position and can hit them.

    Those cup holders must be for Super Big Gulp cups because my coffee cups and water bottles swim around in those things.

    It’s easy I think? Haha. The gmrs radio does well in that slot, but it crowds the dash if you hang the mic up high. Working on a solution for that.
