Well, installed a new Cat, new EGR valve and filters, new o2 sensor, did a tune up and ruined my left front hub...

Cat is installed with 2 extension pipes and 3 pipe clamps (yipee, looks shoddy but no leaks and should now pass emissions) Old cat had nothin in it...almost a straight pipe.

Cheap new EGR broke while installing it, I may have torqued down the tube from the EGR valve itself, to the tube on the back of the intake a "little" too much, as I snapped the aluminum pipe off the EGR off. Couple of hose clamps and some re-enforced thick wall rubber hose cleaned that right up.

Finally, my left front hub now engages, stole(literally) a manual hub cover off a suzuki with the same 10mm bolt pattern around it with the spring and gear still intact and slapped her on.

Now if I could just find a way to get that damn driverside ball joint out, she'd be all set.

 

Sound painful whatever it is.

Nice to work on your own truck isn't it.

 

Should have read un-ruined.

 

haha.
