I just did the water pump and fan clutch on my son's TB. Wasn't too bad had enough time to do the demo yesterday and put it back together today. That waterpump is done and had to pull the belt on my son's truck as it got stuck behind the water put pulley

Yesterday I changed the hubs out on my wife's Envoy Denali. I was slowing down as the job as taking very long and wasn't hard. I kept expecting a bolt to fight or hubs to be rusted in. I guess doing the ones on a couple of 2nd gen Blazers, 1997 Suburban and my son's TB gave enough practice. All...

I got a call from my wife she was locked out the Envoy because neither the fob or the key would open the door. $85 dollars later and 45 minute wait for the tow truck to unlock the door I found the battery was dead. Pulled off the door panel and found the rod retainer clip had broken at the lock...

Like Flyboy2610 trying to take advantage of the weather in the Midwest. Changed oil and lubed chassis on both my son's 05 TB and my wife's Envoy Denail. Had to buy the ProTec filters by Wix. Now have 11 of each on the shelf. Notice that the passenger CV boot was spraying grease on my son's TB...

Got the damage from when my son backed his 2005 TB into the wife's 2006 Envoy Denali. Getting an intermittent C0035 code for the driver's side front ABS circuit. Will try to look for wire damage before I replace the hubs. Any suggestions on good hubs for these trucks?

Replaced the front struts on the wife's 2006 Envoy but have to start the replacement of thermostat and sensor on my son's 2005 TB next.

I changed out the rear shocks in the wife's 06 Envoy Denali over the weekend . The back bounces once now but the front is now very bouncy by comparison. Maybe next week to change the front struts out. Used the 4600 Bilsteins which are noticeably bigger diamater tubes than the stockers.

Bought a battery at O'Reilly Auto online for my son's 2005 TB. Doesn't hold a charge and drives fine after a jump. He says the voltage is good when driving. The battery is 4 years old this month.

My trucks have had a rough summer. Went on vacation and told my son he could park on the driveway. Big Mistake his Trailblazer tried to hump my wife's Envoy Denali. Doing the self insurance thing and when taking his truck to get fixed my wife dropped the passenger side tie rod. Waiting on the...

Been a while but today I changed out the Air Springs on the Wife's Envoy Denali. They weren't leaking yet but had the top layer of rubber de laminating and weather cracking. Rather do today when it's 60 instead of when it's 0 F and I have no choice

I used one of those to replace a messed up Schrader valve on my son's ZR2.

Washed the wife's Envoy Denali and changed the oil and filter. Now to see why the oil level drops seeing oil in rear part of the engine on the drivers side.

The issue was found...damage to the CV shaft was the noise.

Finally finished replacing the UCA, Spindle,. Ball Joints and LCA on my son's truck after the wreck. Still have a noise when driving which I am thinking might be the wheel hub or the CV shaft. Did find the tie rod attachment point on the spindle between the two was different. The one that...

Got my son’s Trailblazer up and started looking for damage in the drivers side steering. It won’t meet the spec for caster and camber. Wheel hub is still tight and no noise. UCA and LCA match up well with the replacements. The spindle come off with the nut on the lower ball joint. The cotter pin...
