Hello!

Just wanted to say thanks for all the work you put into the site, I bought my TB last Jan and have enjoyed it ever since! I like to tinker with my trucks, so to have good people like you to help out makes it more fun. :excited: I will try and direct my questions in the the right forums and will research as much as possible before doing so. :search:

Here was my TB ninja when I picked her up.
Image
2005 TB LT
68k
Stock 4x4 g80 middle gears
virgin tow package
stock wheels/ tires on 17's
one owner
Tan interior leather/ "which a guy from chevy dealership said was order from factory that way?"
LCD touch screen dash with nav, blue tooth, dvd, ect.
aftermarket rear tv/dvd player
4 rear back up senors in bumper
color wide lense back up camara

Ok, so she was not perfect when i got her... She had some issues.
Has water spots all over, rear tail light out, motor mount, front diff was milky, tires were at 20%, needed oil change, and of coarse the fuel gage would read 0 when you topped it off, and then work at half a tank. the relay for inside fan moter went bad. thermosat set check engine light off.

As of last month here are my mods in order.
Motor mount. Guy siad it was compressed over and inch?
Front diff flush
oil change - Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy
AFE Stage 2 intake
Hancook RF10 255/70r17 very tight fit
Res delete and added a black power coated twin tip i found on amazon for $60

Welcome, with the neglect you have posted you should change your transfer case fluid as the previous owner likely didn't.
It will take 2qts of fluid and you can only get it from the dealer for about $9 each.
It should be done every 50k.
It is easy to change, 2 bolts, take out the fill bolt first then the drain.
