Ya, I need new fogs bad. Mine look like dog ****. I just installed the headlights and didn't want to run around with holes where my fogs should be.


Remember what you paid from the Anchorage store?

Trying to justify getting the TPMS. I am more than capable of checking the pressure myself.. just hate the stupid light and it's not something I can tune/turn off...




Also got the new headlights installed. Of course the only pic I have now is when the truck is filthy.




need to get the relay or whatever it is to stop the super fast blinking though since I installed LED's up front.
FIXED...........

Probably would cost more to ship than they are worth


Couple pics of the new headlights and LED bulb I put in the front. Just need the relay or whatever it takes to get rid of that super fast blinkers now

Track is still covered in snow lol.

Well my brilliant self stored the summer rims and old tires under my back porch and the tires are frozen to the ground. For now getting the summer tires mounted on the rims currently with the studs in them. Will get them moved to the Centerlines in a few more months when it warms up. Wanted to getting Centerlines powder coated anyways.


Up on lift getting changed out

Well I had a squeak all winter coming from the engine and a few days ago it got worse so I figured I should probably address it. I thought it was just the idler pulley so bought a new one thinking it would be a cheap fix. Get into it and find out the idler pulley is actually just fine but the alternator squeaks like a little bird so I had Roger order me one and I picked it up from his shop 30 minutes later Gotta support the local shops

While putting the new alternator in I figured I might as well replace the idler pulley since I had a new one and also will be replacing the belt. Also since the Procharger bracket needs to come off to get to the idler pulley and somewhat needs to come off to route a new belt I just tore it all out and am scrubbing it all down, checked all the screws on the head unit and will put it all back together.

I got called for baby duty by the wife an hour ago though so will have to finish up when she gets back..

Starting



Intake tube out of the way


Think it's time for a catch can.


Making sure nothing gets inside the engine..



numbered all the bolts just so I don't try and put one where it doesn't belong when going all back together




Old Alt


new Alt


Procharger and bracket out of truck.. thing is filthy




new alt slid right into place. no filing or anything needed.


Started cleaning a little





and will clean this once I am not being used as a pillow
