Installed my new aftermarket radiator today. I have yet to fill the cooling system and reinstall the skid plate. Had to do quite a bit of cutting on the fan shroud. I also had to install a metal strap to hold the lower part of the shroud down so it would not interfere with the fan.

Full write-up soon.

Looks good Christine. I started mounting lights in my rear bumper. I think what I'll do is wire them into the cargo light circuit. Still got a ways to go though.

I replaced my door hinge pins and bushings. No pictures, but you all know what they look like.

I did complete replacing the LIM on the truck my son bought. Has a definite miss and the e brake is stuck on.

I think the miss is from the fuel injection connection as the person who attempted the LIM broke at least on of the hold down tabs

Sent my '00 Jimmy to the scrap yard this weekend. Biggest lemon I've ever owned in my life! Bought it 11 years ago - was from GA, and BEAUTIFUL looking ... but a complete POS underneath all that shine. It's been sitting here in pieces for 9 years. Most of its parts are all over the world now, lol.

The engine lives on in the '89 S10 Blazer I built and sold a few years back, minus ALL electronics - amazing how just a carb & HEI fixed all the trouble I had with that thing.

Anyway, GOOD RIDDANCE you POS Jimmy!!

Finished up the installation of the Engineered Cooling Products aftermarket radiator. Ran the engine for 20 minutes to test and look for leaks; everything looks good. Now I have to clean up the shop.

Later this summer I expect to be able to see if it actually makes a significant improvement on the cooling.
