Gotta love those international kingpins. My brand new 4300 wasnt quite a year old and it was already in need of kingpins with only 57,000 miles on it. It was eating the new Michelin tires off of it as fast as we would put em on it. So we sent it into the shop under warranty and they said that year the steel.they made the kingpins out of was defective so they had to replace every one they made in 2003.

Hello J.C. I bought some nice drain pans from tractor supply... they're actually rubber feed tubs..heavy duty rubber..won't crack like plastic ones..they have 3 sizes available..I bought a couple of the large ones...same shape and design as yours..I've had them a few years now and still in perfect condition . It's time to replace my rubber mats I lay on...I think I'll try out their rubber stall mats next . The other thing I swear by...is a thread sealant by Hercules..called Grrip-Rite pipe joint and gasket seal..2 R's in grip..not a typo lol..it's normally found in plumbing stores . I've used this for almost 20 years now... primarily on hydraulic hoses...but on air fitting connections as well..the one I used is a tan color sealant..I forget the number on the can . This stuff is phenomenal... you'll throw away your Teflon sealant once you use this stuff...just don't get it on your clothes...it won't wash out in the wash..plan on brake cleaner for your jeans lol

I like loud turbos as much as the next guy, but I agree, If I had a truck that was strictly made for work and long drives I’d want it quiet in the cab too. By the way, great idea with the wash tubs for oil changes. That would be perfect for doin oil changes on my truck. Take care J.C.👍
