Today, I went through a traditional ritual I do with every vehicle I buy... I try to change a tire using only the factory tools on-board. I was almost successful... one lug nut was too tight for the factory lug wrench. Other than that, the real star of this story is that little jack.
When I first looked at that jack and the ground clearance of a Z71, you know, it just didn't seem right. But, it has a little telescoping thing going on, and I was really surprised. That jack has it going on!
Anyway, did a front-end inspection on one side... the truck had almost new tires when I bought it earlier this month, and it looks like it got new brakes at the same time. I have a very minor shimmy going over road bumps, but the tie rods and ball joints were tight. So, I greased up the 4 zerks I could see (upper and lower ball joints, tie rod end, and one further up the shaft to the tie rod). There's a little bit of play in the CV joint, which I kind of expected, it pops a little bit if I am turning tight. I know the sound of bad CV's and that can wait a while.
Lug nuts were not happy about going back to 140 ft/lb. Lots of creaking and snapping. I did some reading on applying anti-seize to lug nut threads... interesting debate, but I think it's more about the face of the lug nuts and the surface of the hole in the rim. I'm pondering this, I may go back and apply a little grease to the face of the lug nuts and try again.
EDIT - I decided not to try applying grease to the face of the lug nuts. It could lead to over-torque. Maybe new lug nuts later.
