Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

I got my Tow Hitch fitted, after seeing one on a truck in this thread on another Longhorn.
Its a Draw-Tie 41938 and fitted up very well.

Now to do some wiring for brakes and lights.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

By using a syringe there's no tapping. Ink refill syringe does the trick quite well.

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

I took out the black vinyl and replaced it with dark saddle. I think it goes better with the color of the truck. Golden Ginger

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

No photos but rear diff cleaned up with pressure washer and setting on jack stands in the shop letting the decades old gear oil out.

Will pull the axles and install new bearings and axle seals. Put it all back together, paint it, and put it back in the truck hopefully while I’m off for the holidays.

That gauge cluster looks really nice. Did you replace the clear face or just cleaned it up?
