As much as I tried to avoid it, due to some Prime Days shopping for work, I fell into the rabbit hole at home, and scored some goodies.
For the EXT, got a Four Uncles pneumatic brake bleeder kit...
So you may have noticed I was missing for the last few days. Well, I've been in the hospital and still am. Came on to emergency on Saturday night for internal bleeding. Needed two blood...
Over the weekend rolled passed 12345 in the 2025 Palisade
Pay no mind to the mpg, this thing has a weird way of calculating for that. I average 18-25 depending on traffic on my commute. Not bad...
How not to install an oil filter.
Recently acquired a 2008 TB LS and doing routine maintenance, not knowing any recent history. I've done a bazillion oil changes and never ran into this tight of...
Old battery 5 years old finally gave up the ghost. What should have been a ln easy swap turned into a 3-4 hour ordeal.
The positive battery cable was replaced around 2.5 years ago. Brand new...
Yesterday, we just came back from North Bay from our son's wedding on Saturday. It was in a barn venue which made it really nice. Even though they have been together for 9 years and have already...
Yeah there's a little bit of meat left on the stud, and I did initially consider that option until I saw how the hole in the actuator was keyed. The weight of the door makes it fall when...
Hard to tell but looks to me like there's still enough of the stud left on the door shaft to still work fine with a new actuator. As long as the door moves freely and was not the cause for the...
Following the resolution of my front HVAC issues, the rear system decided to act up. I routinely use the rear system, with the 2nd row ceiling vents turned forward to provide quicker heat relief...
Sadly I had to let my 2006 Trailblazer go. I was wanting to rebuild it but haven't had the time or money to do an engine and transmission rebuild.

Its been a slow week. I took last Friday off, and this week to unplug from work and try to have some fun. Last Friday went to the beach, with the plan to do the same a couple of times this week...
Thursday went with Mrs Moose to a B&B for a night, and the next day we spent the whole day at a spa. Had some nice meals and drinks and just relaxed. I especially liked the steam room. Cold...
Dropped off the 2 piece driveline this morning at 8 a.m. They called me an hour later and said was done. By 10:45, had the drivelines home and installed and road tested.
I go out this morning, push the button on the remote, nothing. Hmm.
I unlock the door with the key, open it, nothing, no dome light.
I put the key in the ignition, turn it (ok, that was fucking...
Ok, there is a local dependable muffler shop close to me. I have had them do exhaust work before and they are good and have great reviews. I am going there and see what they can do. If I got it...
The rear piece isn't a muffler, but a resonator It doesn't do anything for volume of the exhaust, but the tone instead. When this platform and forum were really active with modifications, many...
I did a round trip this weekend to see my aging parents and one of my brothers. Was a worthwhile trip. Helped out around the house and a great visit. I took the WL Grand Cherokee and it...
New resistor pack arrived today. Got the old harness de-pinned, and the ground wire pin was looking pretty bad, so snipped that off and spliced the new one in.
Quick test, and blower worked...
Went to Oakridge, OR today for my favorite biscuits and gravy and Wagon Grease and we went down by the rapids and I shot a pic and video thru the thick trees. I am gonna also try to post some...
Ran around like a blue arsed fly today.
Headed out at 8:30 this morning to get the grocery shopping done before the crowds descend. Headed north to pick up a driver shaft I had a different...
I think the EXT was feeling neglected, since I spend all of my free time on house projects, and not tinkering with it much anymore. This issue reared it's head again on Thursday evening. Started...
