Todays project was supposed to be shocks, rear brakes and a pinion seal.

I didn't get to the pinion seal because I ran out of time before my kids got home.

I also decided I will never ever ever replace drum brakes again. I will covert everything to discs. Period.

Helpful tip...
I think everyone needs one of these...
A great impact



Ok, so onto the truck.
Here's the part numbers for the brakes


Drivers side before tear down


Passeger side put together




Here's the old rear with the new... i think half of my ride quality issue is that the shocks are to long


Installed



Fronts




installed



Here is why the pinion seal is getting done



Having a big fancy shop doesn't save you from the wet and cold if you're stupid. I left the bed full of snow. it melted. when i jacked the front of the truck up, all the water ran out onto the floor.
