    Sliver color residue in coolant after thermostat and coolant change

    I am the original owner. No one touched my truck since out of warranty at 36K miles. Didn't find silver residue when draining coolant, which is before I replaced thermostat. Also did a block test right away, color is blue.

    RCI Transfer case skid plate

    I ended up cutting off a small piece of overlapping metal from the OEM full tank skid. Took about 5 mins with Dremel. The hard part was to decide to cut

    Skid Plates: RCI, CBI, or Other

    Received RCI skid plate set for 4th gen. The transmission skid plate doesn't have stiffener ribs as shown in YouTube video. Is this how the plate is now or I received a unfinished plate? Thanks

    Oily breather tubes? Front and center differential?

    Replaced both breathers and cleaned oil residue. Drove in 4WD for 10 miles, didn't see new oil seeping out. Call it good for now.

    Plate to cover radiator

    Nice work. Agree with your assessment that RCI plate could work with OEM front skid. Probably just need to find two longer bolts to bolt RCI under the OEM skid. The OME front skid plate has two little hooks in the front, which prevent RCI plate going over.

    Plate to cover radiator

    Looking a plate that covers the gap between front bumper cover and front skid plate to protect radiator. Is there a plate that works with factory skid plate? CBI plate doesn't seem to work with factory skid. Thanks

    Oily breather tubes? Front and center differential?

    Although the factory diagram shows smaller breather is for the center diff, the thin line traced to a box (ADD 75W-90) next to front diff. Front diff oil level is good now, a couple of mm below the fill hole. Didn't have to drain it. Is stuck breather the cause for gear oil leak?
