What did you do to your Gen3 today?

[Rokmonanoff]

Finally, wifey gave me the go signal to buy new rims for my rig. I ordered the XD Series Addict in matte black. So many options but I decided to get the XD because this shop-- http://4wheelonline.com/TruckWheels.1180 gave me a good deal. I will post some pics once they are installed.

Wish my wife would give me permission. ..

Finally got my TB out and cleaned and reset. Bought plugs today to swap out probably one day after work this week. Planning my exhaust and custom CAI as well.

Replaced all 4 rotors and pads. Also replaced parking brake shoes and hardware (ugh... what a pain...).

Had to get some rails so the wife and kids could get in the truck. I also needed help since I get in and out 8+ times a day during work. Lund 5" stainless oval tubes. I think they look pretty good.

Nice work. How long did the plugs take?

**** my pants doing the plugs today...

I knew I was going to have issues taking the coil pack bolts off, so I spent last week in trying to find replacement studs so that I could actually start fresh and make sure I put some rust protection on them bolts for the next time around. Seems I am not the only one around here having problems taking those off as only 1 dealer in a 100km radius had some on hand. He had only 5, so I ran over picked up the 5 he had and told my self I would save as many I could doing the job... 3 coils left to take off and none so far had the courtesy of coming off gently without braking...

OK so gently I go, and hooray! I was able to save the last 3 studs... 2 of them cam off altogether with the top nut jammed on the bolt and one unscrewed OK with a little help from my new friend the PB bottle.

I also cleaned the 3/16" carbon deposit on the IAC/housing of the TB and did another more thorough clean out of the whole TB assembly.

Cleaned out the corrosion from the IPDM main contact, reconnected and covered with Dielectric grease.

Took off the front grill to get rid of the chrome, and paint the inserts with some Mate black, and rejuvenate the Metal frame that holds the Grill while I was at it.

Busy scary day in the garage...

How does it line up to the 3G dash?

Finished product I'm sure will look better, I have to figure out cable routing for the shifter. As of right now it goes right through where the ashtray is.

Started doing a cam change, hopefully will have valve springs changed tomorrow.
