What did you do to your GM today?

[ridenby]

Acquired a 2012 Caprice PPV , came with very nice tires, new brake pads and rotors. The worse was the trunk had been pried open at some point-thinking when the cop junk was stripped out. Replaced trunk lid and latch, good to go. Changed oil, Grandson was surprised at how much oil comes out of such a small filter when you drop it on the floor.
The pass side front wheel was making a rough sound-the rotor had some rust in the grooves cut in it,and around the edges of the pads travel. Some wire wheel action and sounds much better. Runs like a raped ape. Have gotten 20+mpg for the first 300 miles.

I didn’t know they did that good on fuel or I’d have tried to get the one at auction 2 days ago.

Picked up a new to me right side barn door for the Beast.. only thing missing is button on door handle... mine rusted out lower hinge and nothing other than the handle.. and a ratchet strap holding in place. Paint doesn't match, I think I'll be able to deal with it.

 

[ridenby]

Not a 4x4-changed hubs,rotors,calipers, pads on Caprice. Roar in front right would not go away. Got noise down to road noise from tires now.
Gonna take it to Fla to see grand daughter this coming friday...

I built this Y-Pipe for my shitbox.

 

[Mattygwheeler]

Hauling an LS motor for future projects back home over the pass. I love this truck!

 

[Mattygwheeler]

Building this 5.3 and harness for a late model cherokee, 4l60e, np241c. Lt1swap.com makes this shit retard proof.

 

[Mattygwheeler]

Built this standalone harness for the 5.3.

 

[Mattygwheeler]

Grabbed this 05+ Dana 60 to swap into my JK “juggy”…breaking 30 spline stubs way too easily with the LS and doubler.

 

[What?]

Changed to GM Genuine injectors(left) because new injector I put in were causing either rich(87 octane) or lean(fE85) from idle and killing it as soon I accelerate

 

[Chadwick]

Yesterday worked on winch plate also

 

[Mattygwheeler]

Felled this dead fir tree on my property and got the child labour to clean it up

 

[ridenby]

Milestar Patagonia X/T LT 265/75R16 Load E 10 Ply XT Extreme Terrain​

on my new to me 2500HD .

Two steps forward: Yesterday I replaced the B1S1 O2 sensor and the EVAP canister. The already smooth idle is smoother and the truck didn't mysteriously stall out after it was up to operating temp.

Three steps back: The driver rear brake pipe sprung a leak at the soft hose connection as I was parking the truck. The PO had recently (sometime after Obama's first term) replaced that line so we decided to skip swapping it out when we replaced the front pipes. Looks like we'll be installing the new pre-bent line soon-ish.

I made some decent progress this weekend. Front dress on the big block is 99% assembled (waiting on power steering pulley), wiring is significantly cleaned up under the dash, ZDDP added to engine for break-in, trans and tcase are full of fluids, cooling system is assembled and ready for me to buy some coolant.

Soon as I re-loom the engine harness it's game on to fire the engine for the first time and break in the cam. Very exciting

 

[Twankie]

Pushed this thing home from a neighbors house today. Not sure why I bought it... Needs head gaskets at a minimum but it's a pretty nice truck overall. Hopefully it will be a fun project.

 

[Chadwick]

Had to touch it several times make sure it was there!! Dash is next! Now that it can be seen 👀

 

[M92PV4U]

Caught it on fire.

Luckily my coworker was driving, I was 40 mi away...

When I was in hs we set one ment for a cotton picker off in my back yard. It made us choke and it was hard to breathe .

 

[Chadwick]

Received these shortly after work today!!

 

[Mattygwheeler]

Fixing up this loggers box for the farm truck.

 

[Chadwick]

Mounted and faux dash mostly in little more trimming to get it in where I'd like it to fit.

Not to burst your bubble. But them springs are ROUGH. My son has them on his 87 suburban on 37's. It rides as rough as my 1 ton dually crew cab 4x4.

 

[total newb]

Thats why you wiegh the truck down with bigblocks, winch bumpers and iron trans/tcases.

Sorry to burst your. Those were bought for that exact reason. Thanks for agreeing. Sorry that you nor total newb got the reaction either of you wanted.

This is a dump bed? Asking because of the cutout in nose of it. What brand of bed is it?
