I drove down to the north side of Indy for a lodge visit and back - put 220 miles on the truck on the way back we were running about 84 and I was getting 16 MPG. Came home Filled the tank, and took it to the car wash to get it all nice and clean. I no sooner pull in the driveway when the snow started falling. Now there is an inch of snow all over my nice clean truck.

Did my front/rear brake pads, rotors, front wheel bearings, IWE's, parking brake shoes and 4x4 hub solenoid.

The solenoid was all done!

Changed fuel filter.

Rotated tires. Same sides, just moved fronts to rears. Is that the right way to do it?

Filled with gas.

Not exactly the right way but I feel like the front takes more wear than the rear so I'd imagine it should be fine. The correct way below

Thought about doing that but didn't feel like messing with a bunch of stands and jacks etc. This way just a jack in the middle of the frame was sufficient, one side at a time

How difficult were there IWEs? I've been thinking about adding that to the list.

The IWE's were easy but I also had the wheels bearings out so I would imagine having those still installed would make it tougher. I also did have a friend(pic below) to help with the upper ball joint nut.
