2001 GMC K2500 HD 219k Mile Service

Oil change, transmission fluid/spin-on filter change, rotated tires

Held off on changing the air filter, but when I found that there was a stored turbo boost code I changed it. Looks like the code is still present/occurring under likely max boost conditions (2k RPM, heavy load). I'm suspicious of a minor exhaust manifold-to-up-pipe leak since I saw a little bit of soot at that joint - the up-pipe face looked pretty corroded when I changed the driver's side exhaust manifold. Guess I'll have to try to find an up pipe. Hopefully the bolts come out of the turbo exit - I broke all 3 in the manifold I was changing.

Oh yeah - should probably do front pads and lube calipers - driver's side looked like it was more worn on the inner pad. Rear pads are low-ish and it's probably time. Rear calipers look pretty crusty, so it's probably time for another set of those (put these on in 2012... nothing lasts :-) )
