Installed new plugs, boots and FP oil/air separator.

99k. Only recently became noticeable and improvement was significant. Used Duralast Gold balljoints, which are servicable. UCA bushings were fine/no play. Don't need to replace entire assembly.

Forgot, also replaced ball joints in both UCAs. With the recent new OEM shocks the truck is driving like new again.

Spicer rear diff cover, new fluids in front/rear diffs and transfer case, new filter and fluid in tranny. Also serviced the transmission.

FRF members of a certain vintage are still scarred by 70/80s american cars that turned into a hot mess as they approached 100k.

The powertrain warranty should cover it, read the policy.

Those are the correct part numbers. Check your UCAs before you get them installed, you'll want to replace at the same time if needed.

4 new OEM shocks installed. 97k on the originals and man, I want to punch myself in the nuts for waiting so long. I'd forgotten how well these trucks ride on fresh shocks. Getting spares rebuilt locally so they're ready when needed again.

Deaver +3 SD, holding up great, 10/10 would bang again. I bought used, not sure how many miles were on them, and have put 40k on them. Rustoleum keeps the surface rust at bay, which is the only downside I've found with them.

I just ordered full set of shock from RA, cheapest price around. They arrive today and are in stock. $230 cheaper delivered than tasca. I'm going to have my current shocks rebuilt locally for $140/corner and keep for next time. Check out your driver side valve cover. They are known to crack...

Can you post pics of relocated horn please? My low tone is dead and I want to relocate it when I get around to replacement.

That's a great infomercial.

I found the stock springs too soft for my taste, especially when it came to brake dive, and driving style. My rear springs were also completely flat (replaced with deaver +3) and that didn't give me much confidence in the oem springs so I replaced them all.

Give the springs time to settle. My 18 has Geisers and deaver +3 and doesn’t have these issues, and my shocks have 97k on them lol. (New shocks on the way)
