Tomorrow going to pick up some replacement parts from a wrecked Jimmy. Little nick knacks.

 

well lets see seafoamed the motor cleaned the EGR valve and found out the radiator that was supposed to be replaced a year ago did not get replaced and its running hot again why am i havin scary flashbacks?

 

Changed the oil to full synthetic.

 

discovered it has a slight trans fluid leak, ordered new body mounts, burnt a nice strip down the road, had a few gawkers staring hard as the tire smoke rose, had a few people ask me what i had under the hood, laughed as thier jaw dropped when i told them it was stock 4.3L and left them in a cloud of smoke. tomorrow im getting new seals all around and ima get a couple of radiator mounts for it, get back under there and either remove the heat shield or rig it up so it stops rattleing lol

 

Rebuilt compressor and recharged AC, greased around it and working.

Greased up tensioner pully but will probably need another one. So will order that from ebay.

Tomorrow looking for some fog lights thanks to sisk. And do the same switch install thanks to Kiwi.

Still awaiting shackles.

Edit: Ordering a diff cover soon because old one looks a bit ragged since they are cheap. Gives me a chance to see if I need to rebuild anything. Feeling doubtful though as it was not abused much except by me in the past few days. =D

 

Replaced abd oxygen sensor and gas cap

 

Took my wet wetsuit out of the back after sitting there for 2 days.

Aired it out and installed two new Little Tree New Car Scents.

 

learned that cleaning the EGR valve didnt solve my problem. thought about washing it then decided to work on vw's instead

 

I just recently changed the oil and oil filter on my chevy and replaced the lower set gasket as well..

 

Fitted new towbar - rated to 2500 kg. Old one looked crappy & was only rated at 1800kg. Needs to be adjusted - right side is lower than left (about 10mm)
