well, so today i went to investigate whey my front pinon seal was leaking so bad, and i think i found the culprit. looks like bad/worn front pinion yoke bearing. what do you guys think? bad bearing?

if it is indeed a bad bearing then i will be pulling the front diff cover and removing the insides. then it is off to the offroad shop to have a new one pressed on. then i will just throw it back in (this is assuming that the R&P are still in good shape). i am surprised i never noticed it before!

Installed my new replacement NSS from A1 auto. Only paid 49$ so I was skeptical. Napa wants 344 and stealership is even more. Works perfect. Backup lights and all. I'll be more careful if I ever have to remove it again.

Did a coolant flush last night, or should I say water flush...as I've only had h20 and rust in the my cooling system. Started getting a little nervous with those few 16* nights we've had here in western Washington lately. Rather not have to replace my freeze plugs or block..also installed my rustys Tie-Rod. super beefy but the ends are already starting to rust, and its been 3 days...

Paid 300 for the whole truck minus the motor. 44 has brand new rotors calipers spindles upper and lower ball joints and new u joints. 60 got all the same brand new drums slave cylinders and hardware. Going to sell off the 205tc and the steering box setup to recoup some $$ and scrap the rest. Have been looking forever and couldnt pass the deal up
