The bill might bring tears, heard it's time consuming.

4wd is working on the truck, did a complete reboot/reset on the tccm. Pulled the fuse for 30 minutes, then cycled the truck on and off (until the 4wd switch blinks) 5 times... now it engages and disengages perfectly. The tccm must have windows LOL

I know it's Christmas Eve but I got some good work done on the trucks today. I put a new used throttle body on my wife's 2000 Blazer. The throttle blade on the old one was sticking and making it hard to accelerate off the line. The new one is smooth as silk. While I had her truck in the shop I noticed the idler arm is bad. I'll probably replace that next week. My wife is a teacher and our schedules don't usually line up and make it possible for me to work on her truck.

I also changed oil on my Jimmy. I've been driving so much that I'm putting 2000 to 2500 miles on my truck a month so I've been changing oil every couple months. I also changed oil in my most recent purchase, a 1996 Buick LeSabre with 114,000 miles on it. It's the LeSabre Limited with every option. I wanted something to take over some of the gig driving duties from the Jimmy. It's like driving a couch. I love it.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas everyone!
Today did nothing but got use of the tow rope and 4wd pulling a subaru out of a ditch. The roads are crap and they spun out and ended up in there. We beat a big pickup to them and pulled it out like butter... needless to say, the guy in the truck looked sad haha!
