No pictures but a few updates. The front differential was pulled out today. I had in my mind that I wanted to replace the case bushings. Pulled the leaky oil cooler lines and leaking oil filter adapter. Pulled the steering shaft and steering box. Pulled the master cylinder and ****. Hydroboost is leaking......

This may be a contributing factor to my lack of motivation. Nothing ever goes to plan, way leads into way and before you know it, you've spent 2-3x as much on a project.

I'm digging the progress and commitment to it.

This is similar to how my busted brake line project went. One little pinhole...led to replacing every single brake component except hydroboost and ABS module. And this was not "may-as-wells", this was "part A is bad, connects to part B which is also bad, connects to part C, etc." A couple days turned into 5 weeks, and a couple hundred bucks turned into $1,200. On the upside, this gives you a chance to fix things you didn't know were broken, and restore the truck's overall workmanship back to factory-like or better. It also gives you an in-depth opportunity to discover future may-as-wells too ha ha.

Thanks for encouragment @termite and @Intragration ! I will say this burb is driving me crazy. Everytime I crawl under it I come out with, "well....might as well because its a) broke also, b) looks worn or c) will be easier to replace now with it all apart. I suppose 210K miles and 23 years will wear some stuff out. I have some more parts coming and hopefully about to start putting things back together.
