I did get the aftermarket radio in. Sounds 10x better even with Bose amp and old speakers still involved. I found out I roasted the mic cable extracting it from the JY vehicle. I ordered a new one today with the best "clarity" ratings from the Jungle site. I also have a grounding loop noise...

Best part about these older (not that 05 is that old, but I guess it is!) vehicles!

Also did something I wouldn't normally do. Picked up an aftermarket stereo kit from the junkyard for dirt cheap. Im dying for decent Bluetooth. My cheap version works on the stock head unit, but looking for better quality. It came with the interface for the steering controls including plug and...

Got the oil changed today after trying to unfreeze the Yukon. Sat in the shop all day and still dripping. Embarrassed to admit this, but I was way overdue on this oil change. I normally go 5k mile intervals. I didnt realize I was nearly 7k... had more metallic sludge than I would have hoped...

Im sure the underside is coated in heavy ice build up. Its been so cold so long that it hasnt had a chnace to melt at all. Could very well be a blockage, was just strange as I think geats 2 and 1 worked first thing when the truck was completely frozen. Last I inspected the shifter cable when I...

Was a cold one today. Just below zero this AM with strong winds resulting in -20 to -30 degree wind chills. We had a good 5-inches with heavy drifting. The Yukon was doing its thing till I just completed plow then I could no longer shift to gears 2 and 1. Of course we had an hour trip planned so...

Was driving yesterday and heard a big thud and something dragging. Ended up being a large really frozen chunk wedged between the body rocker, running board, and the frame. It swung down, hit the ground and wedged up into the body/frame. Ended up breaking my snow brush, luckily had some long...

A-frame looks good. Only other things I could think of is worn out trip springs, or if the blade has a lot of slop where it connects to the a-frame.

Ok, its most likely a MM1. I had the complete mechanical cable valved hydraulic version of the MM1 on my '94 Silverado. Is your A-frame setup parallel (or close to it) with the ground? This is the piece with the angle rams on the sides connecting the main blade pin to the headgear.

Mine does have a bolt on cutting edge. It does have a little wear on it but I've got a good 3/4-inch plus before the wear gets to the trip edge. The Fisher HT has a 75-degree "attack angle" properly outfitted, I do know some of the newer plows have 3 different adjustments. Per Fishers website...

I do, but only in minor situations. Do you run shoes on yours? I run them on mine, but at a setting that keeps the cutting edge about 1/2-inch above grade. When I have cars run through the snow and pack it down, then I have to plow with their tracks present, it does catch and chatter a bit...

Congrats on the family addition!

Time for adjustment.

The rear has a cover held on with 3 small screws. Once the screws are removed, swing the cover to the right and you can access both bulb pigtails.

I had hoped to paint the base plates, but im just not going to have time. More snow slated for Monday, leaving this afternoon only to get it back together. I shoulda been doing this over the past summer but procrastination bit me. I am liberally using anti sieze and Fluid Film. All the hardware...

Nutserts for the win, thanks all for the suggestions. Had to install them technically upside down, but it worked. Had to use 8-32 under the headlight (3x) and 10-32 for the side under the turn signal (3x) due to limited clearance. Had to bend some more plastics to re-install and it was tougher...

All plates are 1/16-inch thick (bottom pictured). I dont think its enough to just tap even with fine thread with how much I see these headlights wiggle. Going out today to check out the cheapie HF rivnut setter (more expensive one is out of stock....) I did get a set of 3/16 x 7/8 rivets...

I see what your saying, ive always wanted a nutsert kit. Contemplating if there is enough room for anything above (or below for that matter) on the inner plate. Its butt-tight to the housing. I actually struggled tonight to get it all back together dryfitted with just the thickness of the plates...

New issue, finding a 3/16 rivet of proper length. Loosely put together the thickness of plate, housing, gasket, and plate is 3/4-inch. So at a minimum I need a 3/4-inch long 3/16-inch diameter rivet. Not easy to get locally I am finding. So question, would a 3/4-inch long rivet be enough? I can...

I may have to grind the head some on the new traditional carriage bolts to help them sit in the valley plate properly, but its doable. My plan was to try and find stainless. If I cant to try and find at least a grade 5 or more. Im not too worried about the future in terms of rust for these as...
