Finally took ownership of my transmission core. It came with some of a truck.....

Yes, the 0420 is something else. If you used genuine 02s im willing to bet its the converter. Again not sure on 99-02, but my 05 has 2 upstream and 2 downstream. If you do keep driving, and it happens again, I'd keep your pressure gauge on hand. Still leaves me with ground integrity concerns as...

Still no update from the bank on the inspection. Sent a prodding email today that will hopefully get the ball rolling quicker. Trying to setup a meeting with one of the contractors to discuss spray foam options and to see what the ton warranty requirements are. Gon a ask about a full concrete...

BDYJ, what are the codes as I see SES? Pending codes, and not sure if the earlier GMT800 (99-02) is the same, but on my 05 there are some VERY important PCM grounds on the back of the engine heads that corrode and can cause some atrange crap. I believe the passenger side. One of mine has...

Camper is up at camp! The wife and her WeatherTech purchase came in clutch yesterday. Garlic pizza and medium buffalo wings that turned out to be extra saucy..... Non-paid ad below.

Home inspection was performed Monday at 0900. She said her report will be to the bank Wednesday or Thursday. Gave her the run down, and she goes "well I will do my best to help you out there".

Unfortunately why we now pay for un-insured motorists on our policy. Thanks government for holding people accountable with ameasely $100 slap on the finger. If you do end up dropping the pan, check out my build thread as I documented doing the pickup tube o-ring which is a common failure point.

One of the first things I did when I got the 05 Yukon was replace the fuel pump. All was fine, but I wanted a fresh start. Ended up getting the GM one on RA, but I am flexfuel capable so cant help much there. Not sure if the 00s had a schrader valve on the rail to sheck for any pressure at all...

Pulled the camper from the warehouse to the house today in prep for the season. The Yukon struggles with the 6K-lbs brick at any resemblance of an incline, mainly due to the 3.42 gear set and slightly oversized tires. On the flat its tolerable, 60 to 65 mph and 3rd gear. I re-connected the...

Agree, I've done these before in really wet backyards and they worked very well. Even once the barn is built, the rain will still come off the roof and land in this low spot. I wanted to do gutters, but gutters, metal roof, snow, and ice is a recipe for ripping gutters clean off. Would need to...

My thought was backfill trench (gonna dig more to roughly 1' wide by around 2' deep, nearly 100 ' long) with #2s (rounded 2 inch and less washed). Then once it reaches the grass area, cover the stone with a layer of geo fabric 6 to 8" below the surface, and backfill the top woth topsoil and...

Got the 100' of perforated 4". I tried to get the crap with the sock but couldn't only get it in 250' coils, I dont want that much sitting around. Dug a trench with the wrong tool (skidsteer) for now to drain the pond. It worked.

Your on point. So i've never done jobs like this for my "personal" career I've never been able to afford (I guess more justify paying someone else to do something I could), so I always did it myself. This is really a first in my personal life using a contractor to do something at my house. On...

So I reached back out to the Codes guy and confirmed the setbacks are regulation in my Town. Nuts.... There is a variance process, which he gave me the paperwork to. Another 7 sheets of crap that has to go infront of the board for approval. Im going to propose 30-foot setback. Even with this...

Not sure I will have to ask. I know there was a house built and the garage jutted out to within some distance of the road, and they made the contractor tear it down and move it back. Im trying to get some info on it.
