Warn won't warranty my broken hubs so I picked up a set of these babies. Spendy but not much else out there besides drive flanges for a 30 spline D44 application. The old Ford hubs of this design were bad ass, I'm sure these will be even better.
In other news I did a bunch of maintenance that was way overdue, which included:
- C bushings
- All four leaf spring eye bushings
- Pulled a bunch of dents out of the cab that were messing with the door strikes
- Wired in a couple new rock lights
- Add-a-leaf on the driver's rear to fix a leaning truck issue
- New power steering pressure hose
- Fixed rear brake hoses that were ripped off their mounts
- New brake master cylinder, I have working rear brakes now for the first time in almost 15 years
- Fuel injectors sent off & cleaned
- Replaced throttle body with one that doesn't stick
- Redid the upper heater hose fitting, Dorman makes one that is angled instead of straight up, huge improvement
- Moved the front clip over about 1/2" so that the body panels line up better and the hood closes straight
- ^ that required me to move the inner cooling fan over slightly
- Replaced the RCV outer shaft that I broke + the "bell" part of the CV joint that RCV made me swap out
- Replaced both driver's side wheel bearings, cleaned & repacked the passenge side
- Cleaned and fixed the Warn hubs that are being replaced
- Swapped out the distributor to rule out a squeaking noise, didn't help
- Cleaned up & painted my spare fuel tank w/ galvanized spray paint, swapped that out and installed a new rollover valve grommet and lock ring seal
- Built a better fuel tank skid plate out of two stock skid plates sandwiched together plus some reinforcements
- Organized my tool box and replaced a few things I either used or lost
Small things left to do. Hopefully I don't let things get this bad again, I've been making a list of things to do "later" for years and it feels good to be somewhat caught up.
