Got a little more done. Here is the O2 sensor wire...

Transfer case fluid looked like thin motor oil...very black.

And Lynne pulled the air cleaner and upper fan shroud off to change the serpentine belt as it was squealing bad.

I think she was yelling at me...

She even caught me doing something...check out that body!

Well he wasn't shirtless when he started the transfer case oil change, but in the process he poured some oil on top of him and it soaked into his shirt. Needless to say he then took the shirt off and used it as a rag

Got more work done today. New idlers, new transmission filter and fluid change and Ben helped me paint the wheels black. Also wired up my Tekonsha Prodigy brake controller and installed the XM radio.

Tranny fluid with around 15k on it since a rebuild...

XM antenna...

XM radio mounted and the Prodigy controller is in place of the cheapie Reese controller...

I also filled it up for the second time. Got 17.47 mpg. That is combination city/highway driving running about 7-9 mph over the posted speed limit. Not too bad in my eyes!
