What size plugs for the rear wiper ?

Also I ordered new valve seals and valve cover gaskets. Gonna knock those out this weekend.... is there anything else I should do while in doing that? (I have the tools to do the valves also just curious about any common fail points for the 5.3)

I'm replacing the valves because I have some smoke (abnormal) from the exhaust pipe a d figured it wouldn't hurt to change the seals out since the high mileage

I picked up this assortment https://m.ebay.com/itm/50-Piece-She...quot-2-quot-/122397885057?txnId=1852897729002
The biggest hole a 1 1/2 plug covers it nicely, but you need to trim the back to make it sit flush, the 3 holes for the wiper arm bracket were 1/4 and the washer fluid hose was maybe 3/4 the smaller ones aren't marked so not sure on the middle one

Got some lighting mods completed. 4-hi mod and tow mirror parking lights. The tow mirrors LED's were a lighter orange than the cab lights to I put white LED's in the cab lights to match. Just need to order LED's for front signal/parking lights so they all match. View attachment 184824 View attachment 184825
Like the cab lights. Did you install those or is it a quadrasteer?

Thanks...I installed them. I'm not a big fan of the single big 3 lights but wanted to go with OEM for that body style. I would love to find some quadrasteer rear fender flares with the marker lights. Well...find some that didn't cost a fortune.

Sounds great!!

Nice buddy, sounds great nate...lol

Thanks, guys. I'm still getting used to it in the cab, lol. It barks pretty good when I get on it above 2000ish. Once I'm cruising, there really isn't any drone. I think the 3.42 rear end helps because my Rpms are so low in the highway. At a warm idle, even standing right next to it, it's barely louder than stock, just a good deep tone. Very pleased so far. Leaving stop signs has gotten to be a lot more fun...
