The journey begins - purchased a truck.

There is nothing wrong with paying to have work done, if it's done right. I use a shop for all the really heavy or really dirty work. I had them do the air compressor and drier not too long ago. Labor was like $160. Well worth it.

 

A few turns burning the jakes under protest at the truck stop, I'm sure a few suggestive adjectives were grumbled in your direction Blair! But hey, gotta make sure, right!

Good to know it was something minor and you found a good shop too!

 

Didn't you just convert to weed burner? Did they reuse that flex section?

 

I must be getting some bad flex lately myself replaced every piece at least twice in the last year.

 

How are your motor and transmission mounts?

 

Motor mounts seem fine tranny just hangs on a piece of steel that broke when tranny did few months ago put in a thicker piece might be to stiff.

 

I would think about 750,000mls that seems when rubber fuel lines and a lot of bushings give out or are wore out. Have you changed your harmonic balancer yet? That seems to be one of those items that always gets overlooked as well.
