Got a set of my Aluminum wheels back from powder with the Duratracs mounted up....they aren’t as bright as the original finish, but they’re not flaking apart and corroded anymore either.

Very nice!
What’s the new size of tire?
Thanks guys, Dean I still laugh at the “Three Tits”....funny stuff!
The kid...yeah probably 25-30 yr old, is getting started in the powder biz...he's busy and does wheels and parts for Dutchboy hotrods in town. Their cars are phenomenal!
Tires are the 265/75’s Duratracs I had on the 99, then the Dually...

Those look good Dave.
Dove into some routine maintenance tonight.
Changed the Fuel filter, old one looked real good. Pleasantly surprised at how easy it was with the inner fender out. The last person in there only put about 1/3 of the plastic retainers back in, so I made sure to replace all 10 of them, or was it 11?
Did a chassis lube....Holy shit, I think the magicians at the oil change shops only did the easy ones, I had to dig the lower ball joints out of the crusted on dirt.
Looks like I need new bump stops too!
Did a brake check, fronts look good but the rear rotors could use replacement along with the calipers.....not a good smooth wear pattern on the inside of them...that will have to get done next oil change.
Doing an oil change and engine oil pan replacement with a PPE unit that eliminates the dead quart of the stock pan...what asshat designed that?
Thats it for tonight, back on it tomorrow, or should I say later today!

Awesome Dean, thanks!

This looks the same right?
Rock auto doesnt specify 2wd or 4wd...must be the same part.
Some seller on Amazon said the 666 and the 667 are the same part.

I think they are poly. I have them posted in my thread for the 02. 2and 4wheel should be no difference. The ones you found on Rock auto should be perfect!
New PPE oil pan installed w Felpro fiber gasket.
New PPE deep trans pan installed w new internal filter and reusing factory pan gasket.
Spin in filter (Baldwin) was a whore to get off. Put on a new Allison filter.
Time for fluids!

What did those pans run you?
How many extra quarts do they add?
Got the fluids filled up,
Engine 10-1/2 qts Rotella T-6 synthetic 15-40...Wix XP filter
Trans 14 qts Mobil One Delvac (meets same test standards as the Allison Transynd fluid). Allison spin on filter.
Plan on doing the 2nd change after a couple hundred miles to get the DEXRON VI out of it.
Newly powdered wheels and old Duratracs mounted up.
Road test went great, let it idle while messing around with Unloading my car hauler and jumped back in the truck and the check engine light is on???
