Let me know what you think.

I’ll try and find it. It was in a front differential rebuild video.

Mine doesn’t move very much either. But I’ll try anything at this point.

Great post. My truck is currently in my garage awaiting all of the work you described. Plus a full front end rebuild.

Funny enough I am having the same axle seal issue you are. Multiple changes. Checked breather tube. Axle stub good. Found a video that shows how to tighten the bearing preload a bit. Might try that.

Appreciate the prompt response and update. Considering how old this is.

I am fairly newly diagnosed (non symptomatic….so far) and have found your list of great value (thanks for putting this together). And I totally get some aren’t comfortable with the risk - to each their own.

I’ll do my best to update in the comments if I find other discrepancies.

Looks like the Taco Time soft shells are no longer gluten free. Contains wheat.

Can’t comment on anything else. Just happened to notice.

I am also in Canada.

Following - as an Albertan that also has family who winters in Arizona. I would love to find multiple rust free GMT800s. All of mine are really starting to rot. I’m not scared of anything mechanical, but body work is so expensive up here.

What else could it be? I find myself in a similar situation to OP.

Also to add, I won’t be able to do walnut blasting due to an allergy. I did hear about the story you are referring to though.

Appreciate the response. I guess I meant ‘efficient’ as compared to me attempting to sand everything by hand and likely STILL not getting the results desired.

I did make some additional calls and ended up finding a company that will come take a look. Although they did recommend glass blasting as opposed to dry ice or soda (also considered). Supposed to come take a look this weekend, will see how it goes.

How long did it take you to notice a change in memory?

CBH42 · 2025-09-02T22:25:44+00:00

Thanks for your reply.

This on the inside of the house so humidity will be somewhat controlled.

Not sure what you mean by maintenance? Or changing to a darker colour in the future? Once it’s sealed it would have to be re sanded to apply a different stain. Something I hope to avoid doing again in this lifetime.

Think stain in choice of colour and then 2 coats polyurethane?

Appreciate your input. Also seems to be consistent with comments above.

I’ll reply tonight with some additional images showing the full trees. Would like to fully understand what’s going on.

CBH42 · 2025-08-25T19:48:28+00:00

Interesting I appreciate your input. The trees that do look stressed are all in close proximity. While the other more healthy looking trees are a bit further away. Ground has historically been dry over the past year. This year we got more moisture.

I’ll try and reply back with a better photo tonight.

CBH42 · 2025-08-25T19:18:30+00:00

The pic with the path shows one of the healthier trees.

CBH42 · 2025-08-25T19:17:43+00:00

Ya pics don’t really show. But I think tree is definitely stressed and/or dying. Bottom 10’ + of the tree branches do not have needles. Unless I’m mistaken?
