Took the plates off it...

Transmission slipping, vacuum leak I can't track down and pretty sure intake gasket leaking. Couldn't put the poor thing through running like that anymore.

That being said, I've decided she's getting a 6.8L V10/4R100 swaped in and the 5" lift installed. So that'll be fun.

Sounds like a cool project.

Went to the Casino, got a free blender they were giving away. It only cost me $800. The second most fun thing in life is ******* away the kids inheritance. The most is driving my Expedition.

So last night went by my father in law house to pick up a table for my wife cause it wouldn't fit in her van, anyways and on the drive home, somewhere along the route (14 miles takes about 20-25mins) I guess someone called the police and reported me as a drunk driver... cause right as I pulled into my driveway there was 2 cops just sitting there apparently waiting for me.

The conversation didn't even last 3 minutes for obvious reasons.

Anyways fast forward to today, same cop showed up to my house just a few minutes ago and told me the person that called me in was actually the one who was arrested for a dui later that evening and asked me if I knew him which I never heard his name before, he asked for a quick testimony and 5 minutes later he informed me he is adding a "falsifying a police report" charge on top of his current charges, thanked me and went on his way.

I chuckled a little cause whoever it was knew they were drunk so they called me in to distract any near by cop so he can make it home hopefully undetected... amusing chain of thoughts!

Finally got to my rear differential. Tried a few weeks back when I did the TC. The TC plugs came out with no effort.
The rear diff on the other hand was a beast. Started to bugger up the fill plug so I stopped since I had no new plugs. Bought new plugs turns out the come with red loctite from the factory.

Heated them up with the MAP torch and the came out with no issues.

I have 55,000 miles and I had no noise or issues with the rear. I just like to do all my maintenance at about half the intervals that the factory calls for. The fluid was super dark but had no milkiness so that is good and means it is sealed up real nice. Both plug magnets were full full full of real fine gooo. No big chunks or flakes of metal so I am presuming that is just fione metal from break in. The 2nd pic shows the plug start to bugger up. This was with no heat and just PB blaster. Do yourself a favor and just heat them up from the get go. The drain plug had no deformation and came out with not issue with a very short handled ratchet at there is not much room to get a big ratchet between the diff and the IRS components. The 3rd picture shows that I need a higher lifting jack. It barely gets my tire off the ground.
Also this moron forgot friction modifier and realized it as I was doing the last pump of Amsoil. Amsoil used to claim their was no need for friction modifier with their gear oil but I believe they have backed off that claim as they have their own slip lock additive now. Thankfully I have a company car or it would have been a long 10 mile bike ride to the dealer and it was 40* out this morning.
Took her for a drive after sealing her all up and she was running smooth as a sewing machine.

I still need to do the front diff and transmission. Hope to be getting skid plates here soon so I will just wait to do those since the front diff rarely gets used the fluid is fine in there and the tranny has no issues. So it can wait a month or so till I can get the plates.
