Cussed while trying to figure out why it feels like one brake is dragging first thing in the morning. Also seems to happen some after long drives at highway speed. Stop at the end of an exit ramp and then pull away and you can feel it. Seems to get a little worse each day.

I used Turtle Wax Ice and was pretty impressed with it. It did a nice job on the exterior rubber and took about 2.5 hours to do the whole truck.
I found that you need more than a few microfibres clothes though to keep the streaking down. But all in all, very happy with it the result.

First pic, after yesterday's cleaning and second was after the waxing.
That's a very stately-lookin' truck!

The long tube headers came in on Saturday. Ordered better bolts and gaskets today. Try and make a little more power to keep up with the wife's 2013 ecoboost explorer. Dammit that thing is fast.

Looks good. That is something I need to get done. So I guess I will be going to that section too for good info.

[MENTION=142116]ianinedm[/MENTION] As I always tell you, looks good and sexy. Your truck is one of many I admire on this forum. And I have as a screen saver on my own computer. :-)

Default Leveling kit

Put a leveling kit on my truck.

\











This is the kit I used.



















720lbs concrete





Gotta pour a 3'x5'x4" slab for a whole home standby generator, I'm sick and tired of losing power at the least little storm. Down here it's a must have.

I like your leveling kit but it may be just a tad too low - dontcha think?
Good luck on the generator install.
