Switching to Dayshift and I've got big plans

I am going to have a front bumper built with a 2" receiver and d-rings.

I am going to fix the oil leak, either a rear main seal or rear freeze plug. (it has leaked since I got the new long-block) If it ends up being a freeze plug then the transmission will get rebuilt when I pull it. I'm really afraid that the crankshaft is scored. Hoping that the shop was just retarded and screwed up the RMS.

I am going to fix the transmission fluid leak. Coming from between the transmission and the transfer case.

Wish me luck!! I have 12 weeks to get it done and will switch to days in 2 weeks. I know it sounds like a long time to do a little bit, but I also have 4 kids in the house all under 5yo.

If I can get all that done then I also plan to service the axles and replace the annoying 4WD vacuum actuator with a mechanical system.


HAHAHAHA This list already scares me.

Good luck! I wish I could get back on days; nights are a real PITA

We switch every 12 weeks. 10 weeks would be perfect; that is exactly how long it takes to hate traffic during dayshift and hate the idiots/drunks/drug-addicts on nights.
