Snow has been frequenting much more normally this year. Several 4 to 6 inch plowing events. We have another event tomorrow and another friday.

Second plow event of the year, missed pictures on the first. Got the new rear rotors in from RA, awaiting the moment it isn't subarctic so I can put them on.

Ran the Yukon today doing errands with the plow on. Kinda messing with the tuning of the Hayden fan controllers. Found some issues I need to figure out: -After some fan cycles I get a P0480, which is fan circuit 1 error. Im guessing its not sensing a voltage drop from fan startup? It does have...

Went back out to the truck to check how tight the box is with 2 people. Its FAR better than the reman on the Yukon. Also found out the truck is a 4.8L and not a 5.3L. Hope to get it drug home this week or next, its gonna be a fight. No steering and the frame drags behind the cab.

Went and looked at the $100 parts truck today. It gets rougher everytime I look at it. Its currently broke into almost 3 pieces, right behind the cab, and at the rear leaf perches. Its a 2006 Chevrolet RC/LB, base model 4wd V8. I would assume a 4.8L, but I have not verified. Its got Fisher push...

I will check this site out next time. Never heard of this one.

What configuration is the truck? Cab/bed size? 4wd?

Agree for sure. We may change this up. They are calling for 6-plus inches of lake effect Friday so I kinda jumped quick on the install. Thats a good call on the HF boxes. The plow wiring is actually very "plug and play". The only splices needed are to the turn signals behind the marker lights...

I actually ended up getting electro-plated rotors instead of painted. I think Raybestos Element3 rotors is what they were. Mainly because I heard of the brand, and them peddling the electroplated rust prevention. I still bet these are gonna rust the first night they are on. I confirmed overall...

They are in. Got the probes installed in the radiator, also got the trigger side all wired up. Due to snow Friday and rain shutting my progress down I have the ground alligator clipped temporarily to the negative battery terminal. I need to find a good long term ground spot. I have the pot...

Thank you Nate, saved me $13 off my order.

Im putting in an order to RA today. Need to go see if there are any currwnt codes in the RA thread! Thanks all.

So, OEM rotors are 30mm thick. Thats just over 1 and 1/8-inches. The current garbage I've been running measures 3/4 of an inch. So what brand rotors are good off of RockAuto? Am I stuck with GM Genuine for $140each?

Not entirely sure whats wrong yet, but it doesn't look right. Look at how the new pad sits in in the mount on each side of the rotor. Notice a big difference? If you can't tell via pad and mount, look at where the rotor rides in the opening of the bracket! Its not centered even woth the...

Got the fan override switches mounted. Need to get the probes in the radiator fins and wire it up, then its off to the fine tuning.

Had a click, no crank, no start. Upon further inspection arcing at the starter solenoid. Cleaned up all connections and douched in Fluid Film. NY is why we can't have nice things. All is well in life again. Also swapped out the B1S2 with another delco after reading the live data. Nice...

Yep, I did previously replace it. With supposed Genuine GM. First was replaced in July 2024 and the second was October 2024 (both banks). Need to get the scanner hooked up and see what the voltage output is before I order another. Of course its a week to get another OEM unit. Was thinking about...

Had a code come up yesterday, P0137 bank 1 sensor 2. Not sure if I have ever replaced that O2, will have to inspect closer.

Well we will see how this unit holds up. I've got to go to another O'Reillys and grab a second one. Also may have struck a deal on the parts truck I got the front differential from. Hope to harvest the steering gear and pump from it.

I watch Eric O. with South Main Auto (SMA) quite a bit on the YouTube. His video from this weekend hit the spot with me.
