Thanks all and thanks to Steven and Clinto for helping me out on the truck. We replaced all the seals and one bearng. Repacked all the other bearings.
Yes, the truck needs a good paint removal/cleaning and repainted in fresh real CARC.
I need to hook up the lights. I also need the adapter to correct the speedo for this size of tire.
After the painting I also intent to put a M1009 tow pintle on the front bumper, install a VIC with 3 cab a forward bed and a rear dismount crew stations, radio mount under the seat with bed spaced antenna, backup light, cab cockpit lights, get an A3 spare tire spacer to hand an A3 spare, lollipop lights, and probably a strobe. Of course I could always add a stripper pole from ATD.
Truck did well on the trip and I figure I saved a few hours on the long trip. I could definately tell the speed difference and the loss of torque was not as noticiable as I had expected travelling in TN, VA, MD and PA. I haven't hit the huge hills around Gilbert yet so that could be a different matter.
