So after my brief dunk in Lake Christy last week, I figured I'd better be safe than sorry, and change fluids, etc before the Holiday Run.

- Changed the oil in the front and rear diffs
- Changed the engine oil, and added 4.5 oz of Seafoam
- Added a can of Seafoam to the gas tank
- Replaced my K&N filter with a standard filter.
- Cleaned the MAF
- Sucked some Seafoam into the EVAP line

While I was under the truck I also decided to drop the front skidplate and the engine/trans skid to sand and repaint them. I did them in a bronze hammerite finish.

All that's left to do is re-install the skids. :D

By the way, THIS is a GREAT way to fill the front diff -- just a piece of 3/8 plastic tubing on the gear oil bottle:
