What did you do to your GMT today?

[jrSS]

Yup. Got rid of the stock air valve and added the air valves for the bags in the cubby.

 

[smt 59]

Replaced front bearing assembly, no more humming noise.

 

[DJones]

New Rubbers:
Goodyear Asurance TripleTred All-Season

I usually get my tires from Discount Tire, but this time I got them from Tire Barn.

 

[Mark20]

Changed the oil about two weeks ago.

Have fallen way behind here. Please forgive me.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Took a nice trip with the family...bout got a lil punk in a ricer Honda to wreck from watching my truck pass him.

 

[jomulk56]

Pulled the rattling parking brake off the Hoe and looked at the TBSS.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Got the new trans mount and rear brakes to install

 

[sawicksted]

Washed twice.....impossible to get/ keep clean where I live.

Cleaned the floor mats....they came out good. I would love a set of custom embroidered someday.....

The calipers look good with gloss black - painted them last week when I took the tires off and put mudflaps on.

 

[MAY03LT]

Swapped front clips with the parts truck and put in new eagle eyes lenses. Just waiting for the sun to go down to dial them in. Also got the underhood parts bin in and found out that the 97 had 2 horns where the 98 had one. It now has 100% more horns lol.

I got everything I want out of the parts truck, so she's off the salvage yard this week. If I can get enough out of her to get a pair of tires and a tool box I'll be set.

love those rims.......Where did you get them? OEM or aftermarket?

 

[TexazReece]

Those came on the 9-7x, I believe they are oem and could have been an option package. I was looking into some for my truck before I got the SS wheels.Damn good look .

 

[DJones]

Don't exactly remember where I bought them, but they are reman from a 2007 9-7x. They are the ST191 dealer option wheels available for the 2008 and 2009 Envoy, Trailblazer, Rainier, and 9-7x. Good catch that my links in my signature doesn't work. I need to update my thread anyway.

 

[MAY03LT]

Lined up the lights and went for a ride. As far as output, I didn't gain anything, but more important I didn't lose anything. Next mod is quad beams.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

No clunk going into gear and no squeak when stopping....so nice!

 

[Fire06]

Drove it yesterday

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Today it gets commuter duty again

Received all of my Gorilla Lifetime Lugs in the mail. I will finally be able to throw the chrome chipping/rusting Dorman lugs in the trash, which are only a couple months old.

I guess the Dorman lugs would be ok if you only hand tightened the lug nuts and never rotated your tires, very cheap These Gorilla lugs are guaranteed for life.



Edit: Just swapped out my Dorman lugs. Below is a pic of the Dorman lugs with about 2.5 months of use. Keep in mind these lugs have never seen an impact wrench, only a tire iron and torque wrench. I would say the chrome coating cracked during initial install. There are a few lugs that appear to be ok. The pic is of the worst ones.

 

[RayGumm]

Drove it to work.

Later Imma drive it home.

Yay.

 

[gpking]

[Yesterday]
Loaded up my junk and left MD with an almost full tank of gas (minus 60 miles) and drove 8 hours (with three pit stops) to Corolla, NC.
The drive was around 340 miles, and I made it just as the fuel chime started going off.
My trip was around 400 miles total.

According to my calculations I should have been able to make it about 420 miles if I ran it to empty.

 

[MAY03LT]

Holy crap dmanns when I was reading your post I was thinking "didn't he just get those lugs?"

 

[dmanns67]

I know right. I bought the Dorman lugs around the first week of April this year. Two and a half months later, that is what they look like. I guess that is what I get for spending $25 for lugs. The Gorilla lugs were three times as much and could not pass on the lifetime warranty after seeing the Dorman lugs.

Thanks i was curious....I'll start looking for a set at the wreckers here and maybe get lucky since our rims don't really fit anything else they tend to stick around the wreckers.


Swapped out my driver side mirror with a new one and replaced a fogged up fog light!!

Is that the right part number for the gorilla lugs? 61137? I always run them once my stockers go bad.

 

[dmanns67]

Yes sir, Gorilla part# 61137 12mm x 1.50. Found them the cheapest on Amazon for $13.50 for a pack of (4). They fit well and match my Gorilla locking lug nuts. I believe they are 1.40" in length and 13/16" / 21mm hex size.

These lugs should last as they come with triple nickel plating to prevent rust and corrosion along with being cold forged and heat treated. I am only using them during spring and summer, so that should help extend their life.

 

[jomulk56]

I've ran gorilla lugs on every other vehicle I've owned and love them

 

[mike_k]

Took it fishing and managed to pull a acura out of the sand

 

[bmcutright]

Replaced one of the coil packs, fixed the P0304 problem, yay! Replaced all 6 spark plugs as well. Is 41-981 the original part from the assembly line? If so, they lasted 167000 miles and were still going strong. Some rust around the bolt fitting area, and noticed oil on the threads for #3 cylinder, other than that they look in good condition. Can post pics if anyone is interested.

 

[sawicksted]

Wash, wax, vacuum,

Power wash floor mats

Take out license plate lights and clean them out - full of dust and dirt.

 

[Mirage]

Installed 5k hid fog lights. Will do headlights soon as I do Drl killer or mod. Not sure which.

 

[Sparky]

Put about 3/4 can of refrigerant in my AC. It was still working but not really cold anymore. 12 years/200k miles so I'm not really surprised, but I'm guessing it is a very tiny leak at worst. Guess we'll find out.

Replaced the cabin filters. Old ones were past due... I forgot about them.

And bought new spark plugs and serpentine belt. Another 100k mile service interval, first time I've had a vehicle last long enough to need a second one of those.

 

[Aarkon]

Quad hids

 

[Fire06]

Filled it with fuel

 

[jrSS]

Thinking of a game plan on tapping out the broken manifold bolts and replacing them. Damn you GM!!

Tried and failed on my hvac slider led refresher. Back to the drawing board with that.

Got the new (used) ddm and pdms converted to leds. After revisiting the cluster, manual hvac, and door modules the past couple days I do declare that the ddm is the toughest. But the results are worth it so it's all good.
