My pool temp is -5c and ice covered :rotfl: Not much going on today; work, home, dinner, reading up on you guys... -
Pool temp is up to 75F today, usually in the low-mid 60's this time of year. Usually not ready to jump in until late April!

Routine checkup & maintenance on the AC units (heat pumps). Cleaned the filters and checked all the run caps (compressor, external blower). Going to be 102F today, 106F tomorrow & 107F on Friday...

Yeah I did. Have heard nothing but good stuff about this oil. I'm also planning on using it on my TB. I will do a compression test first. I had one cylinder with a slightly lower number when I... -

It is getting dirty because of the cleaning it is doing, and I am sure you know that. The mileage interval I use is 4k or 4 months, whichever is first. The cleaning will slow down as the inside...

A Big "Thank You" to everyone for all the helpful advice. I finally buttoned things up yesterday. New A.C. Delco water pump. New Premium Radiator from Advanced Auto (fit perfectly). New...

And if you want to get a little fancy, get one of these funnels. Makes the filling and burping process much easier and less messy. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJDJG289/?tag=gmtnation-20

I don't have one of those cooling system vacuum filler kits but if you do, that is the easiest most efficient way. I use a method that has worked for me, time and time again. Jack up the fill...

Well boys, hope everyone is doing well and surviving the winter. Hoping we just got past the worst of winter (knock on wood). We were floating -30one week, melting the next and flip flopping all...

Matt reacted to Mooseman's post in the thread Backwards compatible TB parts to upgrade earlier years? with Like.
Those aren't interchangeable unless you also replace the brackets. If you have a SWB TB, you could go with the bigger brakes from an EXT. All you would need to replace are the brackets and the...

Matt reacted to BBT2's post in the thread Is Dexcool still the best coolant for my Envoy?. with Like.
Yes it is ok to stay with it. BUT it is neither a 100k or 50k mile coolant despite what GM advertises. Drain and flush every 30-40k miles just like other brands recommend. Also add a bottle of...

For some reason, I think I remember that some of the GM V6 engines had problems with Dex-Cool but I could be way off base.

Hi MovieVet. I pressure tested it and it definitely was leaking at the water pump shaft seal. I was able to get the fan shroud, fan, and fan clutch up and out altogether.

Matt replied to the thread Is Dexcool still the best coolant for my Envoy?..I'd stick with it despite what others around the net say. There was an issue with certain cars but the 360's never had that problem that I'm aware of.

Where I called it a day after finally getting the clutch nut loose! 🎉

Thank you all for the input. Special thanks to Matt and Mooseman for the retaining chain to the engine hoist bracket tip. That, along with my new $19.00 Harbor Freight Adjustable wrench, and a...

The FAQ is your friend. This thread also shows different ways to remove the fan clutch: https://gmtnation.com/forums/threads/using-chain-for-fan-clutch-removal.7747/ and...

Matt replied to the thread Water Pump time.... possibly..I did a write up. Unfortunately the photo's are no longer there but it's still a good guide for replacing the pump and/or fan clutch...

I reloaded the stock idle and MAF data back in since the cam is so close to stock. It's a grind I made with the help of Gemini and Claude AI bots: 204/208, 0.553/0.553, 118+4. Dubbed the "Wife...

The new cam arrived and I got it installed over the weekend in 13.5 hours total. The supercharger really complicated things, especially on the passenger side. I only took a few pictures this time...

Recently I noticed that the passenger side temp mix door was stuck on hot. As I investigated I found that 3 of the 5 actuators were not working any more. I was aware of the common problem of the...
