No, not Prime Ministers, or even afternoons- I’m talking about Preventive Maintenance.

Just pulled a major on the Exploder. Tuneup; air filter clean and resoak (k&n Filtercharger) Fluid change on front/rear differential, fluid change on transfer case, fluid change on engine and transmission. Also did front shocks and front brakes, and as soon as I can. I’ll do rears. Greased U joints and front upper/lower balljoints. The exploder has been making grumbles lately about accelerating, and i suspected the differential fluid had become acidic, which it had. Fortunately no harm had been done.

Just got out of the shower, where I discovered the ONLY portion of my anatomy not anointed with some automotive fluid or another was my nether regions.

All synthetic fluids, top quality gas charged shocks, all done with more care and caution than anyone else could ever muster. Total cost $120. And I got a lot of stretching and exercise in the balance. I HATE letting other people touch my truck.
