Did a little work last weekend. Put the Magnaflow direct fit on. The rear Icon coils. Bought some used RC rear shocks and a motofab spacer to hold me over while I patiently wait for the rest. Tires go on Monday with an alignment. I love this truck. A little before, during and after. Plus some snow.

Be careful with these tire shops mounting and balancing your black wheels

How did that happen? I did all the work at the shop here at the station. They were weary about mounting the tires because their machine scuffs up the wheels. I’m hoping this shop is fine. They’re one of our duty tows, and have an off road shop. Fingers crossed

That was a tire tech using a grinder to prepare a surface to stick his weights on. Pure genius

Oh boy. My buddy had his brakes done at the dealer last year. They re installed them 4 time lol. They did a full fluid change as well and said oh your drain plug on your pan is stripped. He said well looks like your replacing the pan as well. He is the guy that only goes to the dealer for service. Well was thay guy but not anymore.

Got the tires on today but it was dark by the time they finished. Tires mounted easily, it was the alignment that was the problem. Said he “couldn’t get the steering wheel centered”. It’s a little off. I’m going to bring it to a buddy to have him check it out. These guys do good work, and he told me to bring it back if it’s off… but it took him almost 5 hours to get it to where it’s at, and it’s off. So I’ll bring it elsewhere. Also found out I tore a cv boot. Most likely when I did the install. My fault. I’ll replace it when my UCA’s and front coils come in.

It’s the tech not putting the steering wheel brace on properly. And then making up excuses an alignment should never take more than an hour and that’s on old rusty trucks

I know it’s on them. Such a “1st world problem” thing to complain about but it messed up the back up camera. I don’t use it often, but the camera thinks the wheel is turned when I’m straight because it’s off. The truck is going back into the shop when I get back from Texas on the 25th. I’m having issues with the uconnect and the tpms sensors. The air damn is stuck open and a few other issues. Hopefully this isn’t a recurring theme. Only 600 miles on it and having little stupid problems

Truck looks awesome
It’s not quite done, still waiting on some parts. But I’m happy with it so far. I definitely love this truck. Of course, as I sit here and look at it I think “maybe I should’ve gone a little higher, or maybe I should’ve got a little bit bigger of a tire“. Are we ever happy with our vehicles?
