Made it home. Temps 200-211. Mostly 206-207. Not happy with this. This is supposedly an OEM stat with 187 opening trigger.

This is about what I figured. I miss the old days of radiator caps on the radiator!

Ive been dealing with a temperature issue. Specifically, the Yukon takes forever to heat up in the winter and will run down the road at 130 to 140-degrees on a cold day on the highway. Swapped out the thermostat today. Got the coolant drained down and it didnt look bad, still the DexCool stuff...

Then it snowed the next day. So much for clean.

Froze my bean bag off today washing the salt off the Yukon as well as the wife's ride. Stop blowing holes in my ship!

My wipers put up a fight to come off. The ones from the junkyard came off easy! I did marr up the driver's side one, in the end they will be smelted into a new Hyundai.

Finally got the 99-02 wiper arms on. Anybody in the snow belt that has a 03-06 GMC needs to do this. They make a wiper arm puller, but I couldn't find one locally yesterday. Just used my HF 2lb slide hammer. Got the job done but I am sure the proper tool is easier. Sorry to you 03-06 Chevy...

Steering box and hub arrived. Snow is still relentless. Another 2 plowing events.

Loaded and ready for a day when it's not snowing and the wind doesn't hurt my face.

Went and got a set of 99-02 retractable wiper arms. Working on beautification. Also while plowing this week's blizzard, the ABS light went out.

Ordered a drivers TTX hub assembly and steering gearbox from RockAuto today. Totally spaced and forgot to use the discount code. Should be here Friday.

Here we go for ABS codes: Drivers hub replacement with TTX is definitely happening now! I did a quick visual and all looks normal. But it's covered in salt, and behind the wheel.

In NYS you have to renew inspection by the 1st of the following month of expiry, on an annual basis. So my sticker is 02/25, essentially a month and a half to pass a new inspection. B2S2 had a code and I replaced about 1.5 years ago. B1S2 was replaced just this past summer for an O2 code as...

My hope is its the drivers hub. I plan on replacing it just because with another MevoTech TTX unit like I did with the passenger side back in December. I hope it isnt that stupid module underneath, that thing is a PITA to mess with. Wish the unit was still under the hood like on the newer...

Started up the Yukon tonight and let it warm up before heading out. When I got back out to thw vehicle I have an abs light illuminated. I really need to invest in a capable scanner unit. I've never seen the abs light without the brake light illuminated as well. Strange.

More snow last night. I'd say around 5 to 6-inches.

Winter is what I remember it to be from 10 plus years ago! Yesterday: Today:

Another morning of plowing. About 5-inches with heavy drifting.

I've actually tried wiggling the connectors yesterday and no change after plugging into the JY unit. The minute I plug in the new/old JY unit back in it all comes back to life.

Got the JY unit installed. All is well. I really did think about future me. When I swapped it prior I took the console out, which is a process needing the front seats lifted. I never put the inaccessible rear bolts in it. Only the front bolts. I am welcome. Made this a 15 min project. I don't...
