(1) What did you and your truck do today?
Took 1400 lbs of tin to the scrap yard, brought home a tractor and boom, then took the short block from my boat to get the cam and balance shaft installed with a new timing set.
With any luck I'll have a fully assembled engine and on the water soon.

Installed Bilsteins 5100 rear shocks. Took about 30 mins with an impact wrench and didn't need to jack the truck. The old shocks were worn and there wasn't a lot of damping. I could easily extend and compress them. I've only driven a few miles so far but I tried to hit every pothole and the rear is much more planted and firm.
*edit*
I had 38k miles on the stock shocks.

Over the weekend, actually. Removed 360# of sand from the bed and transported a reupholstered chair back to the house. Now that the freezing temperatures are behind us (I think), I'll leave the sand out. That weight preloaded the springs for a smoother ride, though. I felt the bumps today! :-)
