    Valve Lash Adjustment

    I've been putting this off because I wasn't sure how big of a job this would be.
    I'm sitting at 161,000 and figured it was time to bite the bullet. I've had the truck since 42,000 and have no idea if it's been previously done.

    If you're hesitant doing this on your own....dig in. It's a super easy job. I was being real putzy and it took me about three hours.
    Exhaust lash was super loose and was definitely the source of some valve noise that I've been noticing at idle. Valve train is quiet as a swiss watch now.

    Cheers!

    If I remember right, you should do it every 150k at a minimum.
