Should I use the constant tension spring clamps vs the screw clamps?

OK flushed the power steering pump. Fluid was pretty clear, but it was large bubbles followed by endless, solid fizzle that never went away. Removed the pump and she looked like an old worn out hoe. New one is ready to go in. Also, our local mechanic Wayne got the replacement transmission...

That is for Duramax. More like this one: https://www.pscmotorsports.com/pro-series-aluminum-race-pump-1300-psi-w-integral-reservoir.html Warranty: One year limited warranty for manufacturer defects. I’ll take the Napa Lifetime warranty, plus I got 20% off the $311 list price, which made it...

Summit has AC Delco PS Pump for $393, but you pay extra for warranty out to 5 years. NAPA pump is new for $311 with lifetime warranty. I have had excellent results with their alternators and they are always local. Just take a pic of the receipt and store in Apple Wallet on iPhone.

New with lifetime warranty. How hard is it to swap pulley? They sell new pulleys for $32.

For my ‘99 K2500 Suburban?

So I don’t need to bleed. Just fill the reservoir and do the steering wheel turn with the wheels off the ground?

Can I do that bleed using a clear hose into a bottle?

Test of the new LED headlights. Need to adjust Driver’s side down a bit. Did not get flashed by oncoming traffic. Very pleased. I will be able to see deer.

OK I have a sound I’m tracing down. It changes with engine speed and with the wheels turning, so I believe it’s power steering. It was there before the engine change. What does TTS say? While turning the steering, vehicle in park. While revving the engine, vehicle in park:

Haven’t gone there. It’s still in break in mode. I just drove it one mile to home.

OK got the ‘99 Suburban rolling, but the switches behave as before with 4 Hi flashing with it in 4wd. Also no 4 Lo or AWD. Wayne said there is a relay in the front actuator which signals to the rest of the system that the front axle is locked. That relay is not working. So a new GM Genuine...

The push buttons are nice when they work. I was getting very close to going the manual shift route. The 2023 4Runner has a manual shift. So far my wife has had no issues with it, but you can thank the artificial shoulder for that.

Thanks. Talked to my local mechanic (before reading this) and he said the exact same thing and they install them all the time. On another note, we discussed his progress on the transfer case to the ‘99 Suburban. He found a lot of resistance to the Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM). He cleaned...

Radiator on my ‘05 Honda Accord EX 2.4L w/ 5 spd manual developed a leak in the lower plastic tank. I ordered one Denso unit from PartsGeek whose site stated it fit vehicles with manual transmissions. It came with the cooler fittings for an automatic transmission. Sent the unit back and they...

I can see for miles and miles….

Was this rattle can or actual spray equipment? Was this done outdoors?

I was going to post the final comment, but you beat me to it. About $11K for my optimizer install, but I know what I got. New Suburbans are $80K. You can’t get a 3/4 ton, nor a V8 diesel. Any modern diesel will have DPF and EGR which have presented problems for all manufacturers, so a big pass...

Other than the battery tray repair, everything came out easily.

I worked on installing some leftover items which arrived after we installed the engine. Installed new windshield wiper fluid bottle (don’t ask). Repaired and installed driver’s side battery tray. Installed new gap filler behind the bumper. Installed LED Lights, finally going away from my loved...
