Parts replacer. There I corrected it for you.

Well there’s your source of heat and your answer. Seems like these time keeper gears were not compatible with your timing cover or they were not installed properly.

Looks like the dog bone heated up on the side it broke. Regardless, this is not a good thing. Never had a timing change break and they aren’t hard to change.

I undo and drop/lower the front diff until you have enough clearance to pry the diff towards the passenger side which gives the clearance to remove the bolt. Reverse the bolt direction when you reinstall.

I ordered an OEM GM Upper Control Arm Knockout Removal Tool and once again Walmart had lowest price. Autozone was next best on price at $24.99.

Found this to be pretty good:

Well the pricing on the LMC plastic replica dash came in at $899 plus $100 for shipping. That’s about $400 more than I expected. This pushes it to close enough to the aluminum off-road dash that it’s still in the running...

Front left caster is -0.4 and the spec range is 2.0 to 4.0. Tech says the bolt is stripped and not moving the washer. So new bolts are on order. Also may have to punch the knock-outs. They said it would likely pull to the left, but it does not. It actually drives quite nice.

They have a level 2 model which incorporates separate (from the phone) sensors in the Gyraline device which makes it more accurate than the level 1 model. Level 2 also works with Android phones, but it is priced in the $300+ range.

I was going to ask about those. Do they work and are they worth it?

Finally got the braided stainless brake hoses installed and my wife helped with bleeding the brakes, this after undergoing eye surgery this am to address issues from prior cataract replacement surgery back in January. The surgery went perfect and the front end on the ‘99 Suburban is very tight...

Resend the photos to your e-mail and download those. They should have a smaller size after one send and then can be uploaded.

Received the ream ordered from Walmart at our Montana home and my wife sent me a pic asking if I wanted her to bring it down to SoCal. The packaging is the same as for the ream I bought from Speedway at 4x the price.

I have no idea what the shipping costs to AK will be.
