Well I can't remember what all I've done since I last posted in this so I'll just post what I've done in the past 3 days.
Took the truck to get aligned on Wednesday but they couldn't do it because the drivers side inner tie rod had a 1/2 inch play in it. So I got that replaced Wednesday night and took it back Thursday and got it aligned. Now my truck won't eat through my tires. When I went to pick my truck up the tech who did the alignment said my truck is one of the cleanest, well maintained trucks with 205k miles on it that he's seen. Said he couldn't find anything wrong with it other then it needing a brake fluid flush and I already knew about that. Funny thing is just about everything on the truck is still original besides what I've replaced which really isn't much.
On a side note I finally found while changing the inner tie rod where my coolant has been going that I've been trying to find for over a year now. Turns out my drivers side head gasket is leaking on the bottom middle. It isn't leaking much just enough to almost drain the reservoir once a month. But now I think it's leaking more as of yesterday there was a very small puddle sitting under the truck which is how I found the leak. So looks like I'll be doing head gaskets this month.
Also while I'm here, I'm thinking about bed lining my rockers and bumpers next week and just want to get some opinions on if you guys would think it would look good or not. No pics as I don't have much time to do some photo-shopping.

was supposed to be a rainy day but ended up being sunny and 52 out, got oil changed in both the blazer and ranger, ranger got new front brake pads, front end greased and winter wheels off, summer wheels on. would have like to have gotton new calipers, rotors and front brake pads on the blazer too, but the wife needed to go somewhere and all i could get done for it was a oil change, sure theres still daylight, but im feeling kinda tired now that ive sit still for a bit.
