I think I'm turned off of derale stuff permanently. It's seems cheap to me, or overpriced. However one chooses to look at it.
I had problems with the stupid sensor leaking (so did @Babaganoosh), actually two of them leaked but I sealed up the second with RTV. Pretty irritating to install new parts and have them piss fluid all over on a fresh build.
Drove the truck to work, it's 65 out and was a nice cruise with the tube doors. I'm looking forward to Moab but I also can't wait to get back in the Sierra Mountain cool air. I should also mention that the heat barrier I installed under the truck made a huge difference with the heat radiating off the floor under my feet. I can now put my hand on the floor in 100+ degree ambient weather.
Weather for the next 6 days before Moab ranges between 103 and 110
The next few mornings/nights I have a short list of stuff to knock out.
- Install new PS Bracket
- Wire winch breaker
- Wire cig lighter/USB power
- Drill a couple holes for the Eco Mount
- nut/bolt check
- check fluids
- add hooks for cooler/spare tire tie downs
- move trans cooler so grille will fit
You driving this thing to moab?

not a chance in hell. It's going in the car hauler with the dirtbikes and getting towed out.
Boooo
I'm not looking for that kind of adventure right now lol
I'm going to change your sticker to #Crawl&Hauled
Drove it all day yesterday in the heat again, brakes are working well. Yes it's been in double low a few times now, cases are shifting smooth.
So no one brake solution other than multiple booster failures and the some caliper issues?
My working theory is that the brakes never bled right with the calipers upside down in front. This caused a low pedal and likely damaged the booster.
One more day of work

Moved the trans cooler over and back closer to the radiator so the grille will fit. Also installed the new PS brackets, alignment is much better.
And it's about 107 right now so I'm done for the day
