Another vote for Rock Auto. They have 5% off coupons all over the internet. Even one specific to TW. I'm sure we could get one for TOR if we ask.

When I did my u-joints, I went with Rock Auto. They were ~$10 cheaper than Amazon (who was still cheaper than most alternatives). So even after paying for shipping, I saved a decent amount by going RA.

Got tired of the TPS light on my dash so I hooked up to Forscan and killed it.

That's Mr Asshole to you
Oil change and swapped the plastic oil filter housing to an aluminum one. Thanks to @CowboyTaco for the housing.
Also greased UCA and drive shaft U joints.

USAA is expensive, but they cover more, you better print off and line by line the numbers, I have done it for years.

I don't think Geico and Liberty does not offer/include the "$100,000 each person medical payments" also check the $5000 each person Personal Injury Protection.
double check it and let me know.

The $100k per person (up to 3) / $300k per vehicle can be selected across all of the ones that I have compared to date. Same for the $5k per person Personal Injury Protection.

That includes USAA (Current), Progressive ($353.83 savings), Geico ($268.13), Liberty ($208.85) and StateFarm ($31.77). Still need to finish up with Farmers, Allstate and Nationwide. All savings listed are over 6 month period, so double that for a year.

Again, no accidents or moving violations and excellent credit.

Spent some time tonight on stuff in the cab tonight.

Put some electrical tape on the inside of the trim piece around the head unit. Hoping that will stop some of the rattling.

Switched the location of the light bulbs in my AC control knobs. Confirmed that I have a burnt out bulb, so I'll be ordering new ones of those.

Resoldered the wires on my 4x4 switch illumination lights. Had to tap it a few times after that, but they did turn on.

Wired up an "always on" dual usb port. Didn't like that the lights are always on (didn't realize it even had lights), so I disconnected the positive wire. I'm sure the draw is minimal, but that will annoy me. So I figure I'll put in a switch so that it isn't truly always on.

Changed rear diff oil last night. I'm coming up on the 150k service and figured it probably needed to be done since I've done some heavy towing and a few trails since the last time.

Changed the front radiator mounts to the Energy Suspension ones. I bought them a while ago at someone's recommendation when I was trying to locate my clunk and have just not gotten around to installing them.

Put DEF in the ThuperDuty today... the fucking dispensing nozzle didn't quite go on right and leaked a small bit.. like maybe 2 ozs. Shit that crap stinks. LOL I knew it had urea in it.. but damn.. it smells like straight up piss. LOL Next time I'll wear gloves and double check that fucking nozzle.

That shit is a pita no matter how its dispensed. I've never used those little jugs, but I watched one of my mechanics make a mess putting it in his dodge. I've used the pump at Bucees and got it everywhere and realized those pumps dont kick off like a regular pump. I've also used the gravity fill tank at my shop and a 2 gal can I made. The problem is you dont know when the damn thing is full till it overflows. Lucky for my guys the tank on my buses has a full mark and you can half ass see the clear liquid through the white plastic tank. lol
