After lift, before driving I noticed both inner smaller cv boot clamps were leaking a little (which would turn into a LOT in actual driving), so tonight was time to finish this thing. Cleaned the clamps, cut them off, installed the SS clamps from McMaster. Took perhaps an hour because I took my time to clean the affected areas.
Then finally actually DROVE MY TRUCK
after 6 days of downtime :rain:
Drove in the area around my workplace which has quite a bit of broken up pavement. Laughed like a maniac! Absolutely love the result!!
Finally left for home, after 10 miles pulled in a rest area, checked the cv boots, one was still leaking a little so I tightened the clamp some more. Arrived home after another 20 miles, checked it again and it was fine.
Now I need an alignment (although it doesn't feel much off) and my new Dynapro ATMs 265/65/18s installed and I will be HAPPY.
