Changed the oil on my 98 Sierra and started removing the 5th wheel plates out of the bed. They are a pain when the bolts are rusted!!! Put new belts on the tahoe I am thinking about keeping for my wife and sent the cluster in to get rebuilt (stepper's replaced). The tach stopped working and was making a clicking noise. I didn't realize initially that it was coming from the tach and I was looking all over for what the hell the noise was. Oh well I got it figured out now. There is a company in Tennessee that replaces all the stepper motors and bulb sfor $68.00 - can't beat that!

Had my mechanic put the truck on the hoist to remove the stock steering damper taper pin today. What a friggin PITA that thing was.
Rancho 5000 damper is in there now & steering box is tightened up. Major improvement in steering. Should be even better next month with a new set of Michelin LTX M/S2's and a wheel alignment.
Picked up a bunch of building materials at Home Depot this afternoon. I like my truck.

I still have to reinstall the skid plate, so I'll see if I can get one with my phone when I get to that. Probably won't be able to see too much, but you never know.
