I finished installing my new water pump. I also put in a Dieselsite 203* T-Stat and a Billet T-Stat Housing. I also changed to Zerex Gold anti-freeze, changing my coolant filter also.

I couldn't get the old coolant temp sensor outta the old water pump. I broke the top off it when I used a bigger wrench. I got a new one, but now the gauge isn't hardly moving. Advance Auto parts has a new sender coming for me in the morning.

Dropped the truck off last night to and had the transmission flushed. Picked it up and changed the oil, fuel filters and transfer case fluid. Tomorrow I have to change the front and rear diff fluid, install the new Bilstein shocks and the new Moog steering stabilizer.
Did Royal Purple on all the fluids, except the tranny.

installed the new Bilsteins and changed the front and rear diff fluid (Royal Purple) today.
For those of you that were in the military I brought it to the Auto Craft Shop on Fort Bragg. it was very nice to use a nice lift and not lay on my back to change the diff fluid.

They had one of those at the Air Force base here before it closed. A lift definately would be nice at times.

We are lucky here on Bragg and have 3 craft shops to choose from counting the one on Pope AFB. The cost is low and the quality and cleanliness is very high. :clap:
Just another benefit I am sure I will miss when I retire this summer :hail
