Getting the new 6 tidied up a bit...
oil and filter changed,
front calipers painted (thanks Chrystal!)
noticed that the engine cover has rub marks from the hood insulation
FYI the original flat tire kit is still in its original wrappings..never been touched
the sc pulley looks like its been rubbing on the engine cover...thin strips of what looks like plastic around its complete circumference at the rear edge of the pulley.
new rear rubber scheduled for this morning...Discount Tire had to order the Barum Bravius tires (made by Continental and at $81 for 255/40-20 Ill give it a shot to get the 6 on the road and can switch or upgrade later

PS how do you get the plywood, foam inserts out of the truck recess to check the unlocking pump for water intrusion??
