What have you done to your square lately??

[SirRobyn0]

Well today was the day. I took the truck to the shop, and I was off today so I spent the entirety of the day working on the truck servicing and getting it back up to stuff for regular use. I'll do the list real quick and then talk about the spark plugs. So full tune, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter, oil change, lube, transmission service, diff service, new u joints, fixed a broken exhaust hanger, rotated the tires, checked the brakes, packed the front wheel bearings, I think that was the main stuff but what I really want to talk about are the plugs.

No not perfect, but not bad considering the plug al the way in the back there is #7 and a couple years ago I was blowing oil into the hole the point of fouling that plugs every 100 miles or so. After doing the valve seals and intake manifold I was hoping to get it though the summer, then the transmission went then life happened. 30K later (only 15k on that set of plugs) the old 305 is still doing pretty good.

Also not to bad. I'm running NGK UR5 which is equivalent to the ac CR43TS, so I'm running a little cooler plug that the standard 45s which seems to help with ping control especially when I'm towing.

And just for fun here's the new fluids

That's ACDelco antifreeze and ACDelco transmission fluid. I've been running dex 6 in it since the rebuild because it's suppose to take a little more heat than dex 3 before breaking down. And of course blue streak ignition parts. And a gates thermostat.

That's a bada$$ truck right there!

Mine may have been 2 3/4" as well. If I remember, I can go measure it. The yoke came from my own '88 V1500 Suburban. The shaft was a larger diameter, but the ends tapered down to a smaller diameter.

Thanks @bucket but you don't gotta do that! Mine is all 1 diameter and will most likely have one made. I just don't trust it

Today I cleaned all the rust off and painted the non stainless peices while I had it out. Maybe the Rustoleum ceramic black will hold up better the VHT silver

Thanks Perry!
I have to admit that I barely drove the truck from September until this month. But it's time! I put 150 miles on her today, sure felt good!

Drove it a bit today: grocery run, kids wanted McDowells for lunch. Took my daughter to a friend's house and picked her up. In between places i put a half bottle of Lucas Transmission fix in. It is shifting in to 2nd gear a bit hard sometimes. I noticed a little difference after and it felt like it was smoothing out. More cruising around tomorrow afternoon for errands and such. Maybe the other half of the bottle goes in, we'll see.

Hey Sam, whole 30 is awesome. Wife and I do it every year. But this year I'm on it since Jan 1. I have one day I cheat a little. Brenda's skin cancer is much improved when sugar is taken out of her diet. I'm at my graduation weight 44 years ago!

Hey Darren! That's awesome you are down to graduation weight! Very nice that it helps with your wifes skin. My wife and I do this once or twice a year just to reset our bodies. I usually only do the initial 30 but my wife will go 60-90 most times. I loose 10 lbs everytime without any extra physical activities than normal. Whole 30 is awesome. Our bodies appreciate it for sure.

Awesome Paul.

Yes sir, you are damn lucky that didn't decide to let go.

Heard a thunk earlier week before last before dropping off for ball joints. Didn't put 2 and 2 together. When picking up the truck from the ball joints and broken hub nut on passenger side, they said oh yeh u got a busted shock on the drivers side. I purchased/installed stock shocks until the Monroe warranty is squared away.

Again, feeling good to be alive

Got the A/C junk out of the way. Started mock-up for the firewall, and fitting the fender covers...

Where are the fender covers from, who makes them?
