Re: Project Polar Bear

Changed my oil yesterday. 5 quarts of NAPA 10W-30 and a NAPA Gold filter. As always. (5W in the winter)

I picked up my rubber brake lines and got the truck jacked up on stands. I was gonna bleed the whole system too. But one of the bleeder screws on the calipers is broken. So to be on the safe side and to just do it while its apart. I ordered new calipers($19 EACH! ) and new wheel cylinders too. So it looks like I'll have new brake lines, brake fluid, calipers, and wheel cylinders. The front pads are almost new so no need to replace them.

Well, while I was under the truck I scooted to the rear and changed the diff oil. 2.1 quarts of Valvoline Full Synthetic 75W-90 W/ Limited slip and a LubeLocker gasket. Good God was there a lot of RTV on it. Took 25 minutes to clean the cover and housing of just the RTV. I'll never need RTV again!
