Completed today, input seal(s) on PS box, rag joint, front sway bar bushings (4), painted front wheels, installed wheels and took truck off jack stands. Replaced the two bad u-joints. Tried doing the rear brake line, but lines won`t budge, soaked them down and will let them sit over night.

Will do it tomorrow, along with bleeding rear brakes, rear sway bar bushings and links. I ended up purchasing front sway bar links for the first gen GM IFS, they are about 1.5" shorter, only issue I see it causing is having more ground clearance at this point (sway bar will be held abit higher/closer to frame) , looked at them many times, and other than length, they are identical and I feel they will work. :)

Today I got the rear sway bar bushings and links done, tried once again on the brake line and no show, so moved on to doing the water pump, that has turned into quite the tear down, what I thought was the pump leaking is actually the front cover, this is as far as I got today before I lost motivation, lol.

I have to pull the intake to get at the injection pump mounting bolts so i can pull that front cover, which in the end is best because i can do the front seal. cause this engine is dirty as hell. why the hell can`t people clean under the hood once a year for fWONK sakes?

:lol:

I think that turbo needs a freind. Maybe you should install another one on the other side.
