Got the back brakes pulled apart and cleaned up/regreased. Fronts really need new rotors, the junkyard eBay ones barley lasted 1 year. Also trying to get new Viton o-rings for the catch can. Im having issues lately on start woth a puff of smoke. Common issue with the PCV system i guess on...

You are correct. PA capable, but no speaker yet! If I found one I would try it for some fun!

Disregard the disgusting pictures, this thing needs a clean before our trek next week. Winter grunge has set in. Got the inline 10A InstallBay power filter installed on the CB, we will find out tonight if it cures the issue. I also got the usb chargers wired up and they work perfectly. I...

Ordered some USB ports to replace the cigarette lighters. One issue we have each year is enough charging points for 4 adults. This should solve that. I also ordered an inline power filter to try on the CB. From reading into it, a low pitch humming is ground loop issues, and high pitch humming...

Got the drivers upper done and all greased. Just like the passenger side the joint felt horrible through its motion. No play anymore in either.

Here it is.

Completely plastic except for the metal BBs IIRC as ball bearings. I'll get a better pic of remnants Thursday.

Today went to the stupid level. Dorman plastic steering column bearings are utter trash. They cant even hold together enough to get them out. This one is maybe 3 years old and was clunky within 1 month of installing. You can get a laugh out of this, I was fuming. Its done. Pics were scarce at...

Been a busy last day, still checking things over.... Belts and pulleys check out ok. I did have some pooling of oil in the intake. I've been getting a puff of white smoke on starts lately whoch I guess is tell tale sight of drivers valve cover/PCV issues. Also found some bad cracks in the PCV...

Got pulled over this AM on the way to a wrestling tournament, found out I had a brake light out. Got a full set of Sylvania LED bulbs ordered for the rear, should be here tonight.

HOLY@%@&$*$. This junkyard steering gear is unreal compared to the reman Lares and predecessing Cardone POS. I couldnt be happier, we'll maybe I could. I wish I did this 3 years ago.

I think I got the SWR issue figured out. For some reason the kit i bought (from Amazon) didn't identify or come with the upper nylon spacer. So essentially the antenna was grounding out. Luckily I had an ancient one kicking around form the high school/college days: Got the passenger upper...

Finally got the CB radio coax crimped and soldered. I've got a issue somewhere, SWR is not happy. Need to test the antenna and coax first for proper grounding.

I remember you having issues with some TTX parts. What have you been using for replacement stuff now?

Been hearing a bit of a clunk on the Yukon over the last couple days. Finally did some inspections and I have a loose ball-joint on the upper passenger side. Racking my brain, I've been there before, actually on March 30th, 2023 (post #329). Unfortunately I was in a bind, the night before...

Yeah, I wont need to tackle that portion. My plan is basically cut the width of the wheel well straight up maybe 6 to 8-inches. I also plan to take the inner and outer together. So I bet thats will be the most difficult part, in the wheel well.

I actually have access to one on a drill, but from my experience they dont like 90 degree bends and I would struggle with cutting the inner fender out too. Unfortunately no grinders allowed. Ive got a DeWalt cordless, need to get some hot blades for it.

Nate, I assume you went with a battery operated sawzall to do this? Reason I am asking is that I have a 5-inch by 3-inch section of rot on my passenger rear wheel arch (basically top center). I see aftermarket panels for $80, but contemplating on JY hacking a panel like you did (much smaller...

Ordered a Wolff Engineering steering column bearing today. I've got real high hopes for this to get rid if the clunks. Stupid GM plastic bearing..... https://www.wolffeng.com/shop/p/leaf-no-5-z68el-plnpb-phgh3

Got the old Napa/Cardone reman apart. There is a shim on the bypass so from what I've watched on YouTube means this is a lower PSI unit.
