Nice. Hopefully they aren't working you too hard over there haha.
Little update from the weekend of what I did.
1. New Pass front wheel bearing. Took away all the slop in my steering, excess vibrations when I would hit bumps, and a hard vibration when braking when going over 35 mph.
2. New front brake pads.
3. New EGR valve. Mine was crusty and making a weird ticking noise, so I swapped that out with one I bought a while ago.
4. Mobil 1 High Mileage full synthetic oil change.
Truck drives smooth now, but I still have an intermittent squeal coming from *I think* the passenger side. It wasn't that bad this morning. So it was either lessened by the cold this morning, or going away? We'll see this afternoon on the ride home. It doesn't pull to the passenger side anymore, so I'm pretty sure it's not my caliper sticking. The only other thing that rotates that I can think of is the CV axle, but why would touching the brakes make that stop squealing?
I'm thinking I might invest in a spacer level kit and some 1.5" or 2" wheel spacers, depending on what I can fit after the level with no rub. Also going to go on a little shopping spree at Harbor Freight pretty soon, as I have to invest in a 3/8" drive torque wrench and quite a few different sockets and what not. Might pick up a few things to help me practice my welding as well.
