What did you do to your GMT today?

[dmanns67]

Good customer service, gotta love that. Which ones were acting up on you?

I lucked out, I was at the end of my 30 day window. Actually I think I was a few days past. Either way dt-autotec was very quick to replace the LEDs.

The T10 amber on drivers side marker burnt out. One of the white T10 over the license plate had a steady flash on and off while parking lights were on (happened after driving with headlights on for three hours and continued to do it whenever the parking/headlights were on). It was also extremely hot when I went to take it out after being on for a couple minutes.

Three of the four interior white T10 shut off after having the interior lights on for 10-15 min. I found it very strange the SMDs were getting so hot. Maybe its becuase they have a metal casing. I don't remember my other LEDs getting hot at all.

Ordered online and picked up in store. After discount it was $32.

Had to also pickup a 21mm wrench but now I'll be ready when the driver's side begins to complain.

Is it easy to change ?

Yesterday I swapped the basket back on roof for a change

Yeah that was the same seller I got the first set of 5630 switchbacks from, just got my refund from him yesterday since they were AW style

Sounds like there's a manufacturing problem. LEDs should get warm, like anything else would, when having a steady current passed through them for a while, but not THAT hot, for something as small as these. The metal heat sinks should help dissipate the heat better.

Hotness helped me put new tie rods on, the old ones were bad, I don't know how they didn't snap. Jacked up one side and the wheel moved a good couple of inches. Need to check more often. Went to firestone and the tech didn't feel comfortable trying to align my truck. Apparently only the head mechanic at this location is able to align my truck. I need to stop going to that one. Should be getting it back sometimes today.

Took the pump off one more time because I forgot the washer and bearing that separates the pump from the input housing.... whoops... wonder what else I forgot...


the first time I had it all buttoned up and forgot to attach the output shaft smfh

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Should be getting it back sometimes today.

So some times they give it back and some times they keep it. Wonder which time it will be when you need it to go home from work...

 

[Sparky]

lol

 

[JamesL3]

Washed it.

 

[mcsteven]

Ordered white LED strips to go over and to the outer edge of the headlights since I've used the DRL killer.

 

[Hypnotoad]

Looked at it.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Parked by it

No mileage count, mpg's?

 

[CaptainKD]

Maybe at next fill up I'll check mpgs. Probably 15 like always.

 

[Hatchet]

Yep filled up the tank today. Come back out and its raining under my truck. I just can't catch a f*&^ing break.

 

[Matt]

Tank or radiator?

 

[Canary2323]

Plasti dipped my chrome 22s black. Thinking like the black better will be selling chrome soon for gloss black

 

[Hatchet]

Tank or radiator?

Should have specified. Fuel tank.

 

[Sparky]

It's plastic so it couldn't be rust. How did that get damaged?

My guess is the gasket that came with the new fuel pump ain't sealing correctly. So at full tank the gas was coming out around around the lock ring. That's my only guess. I'll have to wait till i run the tank down before I find out. But i'm ordering a new lock ring and possibly gasket tomorrow just in case.

Priced out brake parts for the Blazer...

I did repair my window mechanism on my rear doors today.

They have been acting up for a long time and stopped working all together a couple of weeks ago.

They both just dropped down when you try to close them and i had to manually pull them up and put something between the glass and the doorpanel to stop them from falling down.

Actually nothing was really broken in there, but the wires had become slightly longer with time and caused the wire housing to jump out of place in the upper seating not being able to lift the glass.


It was quite a easy repair. All i had to do was to wind the wires a extra lap around the winding mechanism in there and trim about 2cm of each wire housing and they are god to go again.


If anyone get into trouble with their rear door windows i know what to do and not to do.
Do not continue to try to push the button if you get in this situation,, you only kink your wires and make it harder to repair!!.

 

[sLAsh]

Replaced the blower motor controller on my wifes envoy. They tried to sell me the resistor for the manual ac but thanks to this site I knew I needed the one with the three wires for the auto climate control. They told me that the one they showed me was the only one they had for the envoy.
I ended up going to the wreckers and picking up one there. On a good note it only cost me $16.00 at the wreckers.

 

[jimmyjam]

extended the passenger side injector and coil wires... still need to extend tb, maf, ac...

 

[Fire06]

Filled it with fuel

 

[Capote]

Took 'er for a wash

 

[Matt]

Should have specified. Fuel tank.

Well shit.

 

[Fire06]

Hopefully wash it

 

[Mark20]

Got an oil change for the Silverado. My daughter says the CD in the Envoy isn't working. Hope I didn't mess it up when I replaced the lights.

Been so busy travelling for work have barely had time for anything else.

 

[High Voltage]

It's black again!!

 

[STLtrailbSS]

[gpking]

*yesterday*
After he caught the mod bug, I helped my neighbor do the quad-beam mod to his S10.
This picture also shows off the $20 RioRand LEDs he bought after I burned his retinas out with the set on my TB.
His ZR2 turns night into day now.
I plan to get a side-by-side once I get the diode in for my quad-beams.

[BlazingTrails]
