Finally got the title and DMV stuff taken care of. Cost more than I would've liked, but whatevs I'm glad it's handled. Now to build that bed platform and to get the minivan smogged.

Adjusted valve clearances; bought 5 shims from the dealer, but only used 4. They were in the lower end of spec, with just one exhaust and one intake valve below minimum. Now they're all in the upper end of specs. Also change valve cover gasket, spark plug tube seals, and valve cover bolt washers.

Checked exhaust pipe flange nuts - good. Tightened lower EGR to manifold bolt a bit. Put two hose clamps on the exhaust support bracket; didn't know there was supposed to be a clamp there since there wasn't one when I bought the truck.

Added 3 quarts of coolant ლ(ಠ益ಠლ); I don't know if it's been losing coolant as I haven't checked before ever. Checked oil and it's holding steady.

Added keyless entry system. Took a bit to install, but works good. Decided not to install alarm bits since it'd probably just be more annoying than anything.
