I adjusted back brakes as the one was sicking and coursing the back end to wobble and vibrate since i put the new tyres on, all seems fine now i have adjusted them

Drilled and bolted the bulkhead thru the peddle bracket. To take out the excessive flexing, that has been getting worse of late :dance:

Went to my local DIY garage and rented a lift for a few hours to change all the oils. This time I used a small cheap 12V cigarette-lighter-outlet oil changer thing which really made it very conveniant to refill diffs and transmission :-D

Did all oils last year and 8000km ago but now I found glittering metal dust in all oils and on the magnetic plugs. Not looking very good I think...
Also did an engine flush before changing motor oil and filter to see if that will help on my issue with burning too much oil.

Definately think the truck sounded thankfull and a lot happier when I drove off

The magnetic diff plug will always have some swarf (particles) stuck to it, as long as the diffs are quiet and no big chunks it will be fine.
