Cleaned the maf and throttle body. I don't think the throttle body has ever been cleaned.
It made a huge difference.
I should have taken a picture of all the carbon build up.

Also before anyone gives me poop about it not actually making a noticeable difference, the truck does have 300k miles, and was probably never cleaned. It made a noticeable difference.

I got the front end put back together with the new shocks. I'm doing the rear axle seals and rear shocks in the morning.

Alignment and inspection attempt number 2 on Monday.

No, the 5100's don't fit up front. I wish they did but other than being a bit longer, they're still charged at the same pressure.

Added a little character by putting two dents on the back of the cab. Stupid hand truck!

No paint lost, but might need a little clearcoat touchup.

Ahh OK. I thought they were a little long to go up front but could never get a good answer from anyone on weather they did or not. Thanks

What kind of noticeable differences are you talking about? Like what were you able to notice that had improved or changed?
