Got all the wiring behind my radio all cleaned up, got the wiring harness made for the factory fog light switches (now I just need some fog lights for them), and got my rear shocks exchanged under warranty as one of them was leaking oil.

Took out the transmission. It was the cause of my truck shutting off in reverse. Spent 150 on parts to fix it. Should be back in action shortly

Yesterday I did an oil change, pulled out my bed liner to fix some rust spots (which you should do once a year), put in my new husky toolbox, put on my new tires and rims and washed and waxed it. Pretty productive day.

Installed the new Yellow top Optima I bought in August.(Finally got time at home to do it) Replaced the shocks on the cap and added about a 1/2 gallon distilled water to the radiator... Don't know where it went, hasn't moved in over a month...

Install new front hub bearing Assm. and Upper A-arm on th pass side on the old girl today,
Now I dont have to listen to the squeek squeek squeek or the wobble wobble wobble noises
she has been making for three or four weeks,'

Just a heads up:
Watch out for NAPA upper A-arm the have them listed incorrectly on the parts catalog
2wd is actually 4 wd and wise versa had to make a trip back and exchange it because it was mislabled
and the wife didnt know the Difference.

Then 4wd a-arm I bought was still not right had to returm it and get one made overseas instead of in the USA, A-arm was no where close to being the same style totaly different a-arm.

At least I tried to keep someone at there job but in the end I saved myself $40.00
