No updated time slips yet, I think the diff is finally shot and needs a truetrac, I have encountered the dreaded one wheel spin, and finally got the battery/alternator problem fixed thats been plaguing me all summer. It only took 2 battery and 2 alternator swaps. After accidentally putting in 6 gallons of 87 octane, I ran it out, put the 93 back in, did the fuse pull and let it sit overnight, and took it for a spin today. Normal functions are back, and its peppy again!

When the bad alternator that I bought totally took a complete **** I barely made it to Autozone, it was super sluggish at the last 2 stoplights, windows wouldn't work, ABS light and also the Brake indicator, and stabilitrak lights all came on. The dash was a Christmas tree. It was in bad shape after just a trip back and forth to work. It wouldn't even start when I got it to Autozone to test it. I put the new one in (about a month left of a 3 year warranty) and voila! Back on the road thankfully. Hoping by the time we get some decent air and DA, I can have the truetrac in and get some runs in.
