Hope to see more after the milkshake fix!

So really just been driving the wheels off. I flushed the hell out of the trans after the milkshake. I've put about 30k on it since. The transmission seems ok, but the converter makes some odd noise every now and then. I have replacements for both in the garage, just waiting for a hard failure to give me reason to pull out what's in there.

Gearing up for front axles and wheel bearings right now. Hoping to get thru winter on what's in there as my backup truck is 2WD. We'll see.

Also picked up upper rear control arms from OptOffroad. Looking to get those installed in the next few weeks.

Did a couple of minor interior changes. Moved my SG2 from the column. So far really like the new location. Also moved the rear heat switch. Kiddo can't reach it from her car seat and I have a bad shoulder on that side that makes that reach hurt. Getting old sucks.

Had a noise from the right front and a slight pull under braking. Stick my head under the truck and was greeted with this.....

2 completely gone, both remaining bent and loose. The crazy part is I replaced that hardware 4 years ago when I put the lift on with Grade 8 Bolts and Loctite on the threads. No idea how long they've been gone, but long enough to get rusty. Got real lucky.

Well that’s unnerving! What a crazy and lucky discovery!

Had some time to tear into it today. Bolts sheared inside the spindle, so that's neat. Now to figure out getting that swapped out. I'm down an arm so it may just have to wait.

Be sure to measure where the pedal clevis sits on the old booster rod. I measured from the base of the booster out. Should be a good starting point at least. On to the front suspension!




Also, little Carolina squat action on the parts truck.

Do you have the part numbers for the master cylinder and booster you used? I am looking to do this mod to my 1998 and retain the ABS if possible.
