Don't know what all they did, they put almost 1000 miles on it, got it back nothing like it left and I haven't touched anything all these years other than normal maintenance, cleaning the washable air filter and changing the trans fluid yearly, like I as told to do. I was also told to keep an eye on the pyrometer (has a full set of gauges) and try not to run the tires off it (I don't, I'm old). Lest with open diff's came back with lockers. Left with a stock trans, came back with a very non conventional looking transmission, at least it don't look like any E4 that I ever seen.
Nice truck, no rust, runs great and gets decent mileage too. I like the new trucks with all the 'stuff' on them but I don't like Tier 4 final engines so I'll just keep the old smoker for a while yet.
