Ah, ok, took your tip. I didnt have any problems with the drain plugs, here's all I did:
Plugs and wires
Trans filter, clean pan
Rear axle fluid change
Front axle change, which was low
Transfer case
Belts
Idler pulley, both tensioners, they were shot
Coolest flush, cleaned out overflow resv
My battery went during all this so a battery
Put a starter on since it's over 100k too
Power steer fluid change
A rear caliper just hung up, ate a rotor, so new rear calipers, pads, and new rotors. Bled the rears, still Ned to bleed the front lines.
My 05 runs and drives like new. The rear brake splash shields are real rusty, I'll grab those for a project next summer, I want to paint the rotors silver and the calipers blue or yellow anyway, I'll do that then. I barely got all this done before the weather here in the D got crappy.
The tapping I posted in another thread in the dash is still at it, I talked to my mechanic and he said a part in the dual climate is going, that's what they do he said, I'd like to do that myself but I'm not sure what part it is, I'll run a schematic at the dealer, any thoughts on that?
It's not a card in the blower sound, So that's not it.
