I don't know if I ever mentioned this but a few years back I added two of them to my scrap iron trip to recycle - total ready to bolt on units - As I couldn't even give them away and got tired of tripping over them .....

On Sunday I helped my son change out the radiator on his ZR2. I asked if he was sure that the transmission lines were fully engaged. He told be that they were well about mile down the road he stopped because there was a smoke cloud and he found the inlet was leaking.
I rescued him and pushed the line in until I was sure it was seated. and we refilled the transmission.He took it to his apartment and drove my suburban to a meeting at work. He called and said the trans was still leaking.
Tonight after waiting a couple of days I went over and looked at the line. It was still seated but there was still trans fluid everywhere under the hood. I checked the line and it was still seated and dry so I found the plastic covers that go over the clips and moved those to their position.
At some point they were moved probably to replace the engine before we got and never put back. As of this writing he has a good radiator, a topped off trans, lines properly installed. I hope for a week without him calling about the truck. But I expect a call tomorrow about the transmission failing. I drove it for about 15 miles including a highway run. It shifts fine and has no slip I can feel and doesn't set the 1870 code.

Just put my new perfect condition sun visors in. They work fine, light up, etc. Came out of a 1995 Blazer right into my 2000. My only question is these new visors have this extra flap, and I don't know what it's for. Anyone have any ideas?

replaced the air filter and cleaned the MAF sensor today according to a DIY sticky thank you so much for.
dirty rotten scoundrel LOL
not horrible potentially not original.
so interesting phenomenon... my torx bits are T25 not t20s and apparently somebody cross-threaded them or They seized. I got two out eventually but ended up cleaning the sensor together because I couldn't get the other two out at all...
a little bit better but again there was really no baked on anything...
close cleaning revealed much though
wiped out the airbox the best I could it also wasn't actually horrible... test drive revealed a little bit better pick up and smoother standing idle but that had to have been the air filter as well.
as clean as I could get it without being able to get between the screen and the bar wires.
