Re: Daily Driver Checklist
I'm just about finished making mine a DD. It's really a long list. I'll post what I can remember off the top of my head.
All electrical functioning with no battery drains. Check grounds, and clean all connections.
Do the headlamp relay upgrade if you'll drive often at night. Have someone verify how bright your BU lamps and brake lights are. Make sure they're as bright as can be.
Convert to an internally regulated alternator
Ensure your horn, hazards, gauges, and dash lights function properly.
Make sure your parking brake works and inspect your brakes and lines for any leaks, chaffing, or cracked hoses.
Make sure your defroster is functioning
Ensure your truck can idle in traffic on hot days without overheating.
Ensure there are no steering box leaks.
Replace all suspension bushings if worn.
Flush the rear diff, possibly replace the bearings.
Other stuff like door seals and vent window seals aren't critical, but can make driving much more pleasant.
