Thanks they were really simple to wire up. I bought the lights off superbrightleds.com

I was the first to do it.

Although I haven't put them back on after my accident.

Yes I have to give kudos to DJones for the idea of the grill lights.

I FINALLY replaced the broken right side mirror turn signal on my Trailblezer.

Had been missing for over a year after the mirror was hit. Had cut the wires to remove it.

Replaced the lens, rewired everything, and it works great again :smile:

Also got the passenger side door panel on CORRECTLY so the radio does not rattle it like crazy.

Was a good day :smile:

Took the Envoy into the stealership (I have powertrain warranty remaining until June) to investigate a whining noise when 4x4 is engaged. Their previous mechanic said he couldn't hear anything, today's mechanic said he must be deaf :rotfl:

He seems to think its coming the front diff. Dropping it off tomorrow so they can dig into it. Once this is resolved I'll be heading to my neighborhood garage (that I love and fully trust) to do a full powertrain inspection, I'll be heading back to the stealership with my list in hand :biggrin:

Oil pan skid from MDBFab. Still waiting on Radiator skid, but this was finished 1st.

.

I had grill leds over two years ago, but once removed I never bothered to put em back.

Maybe I should redo some to backlight the winch.

DJones · Mar 28, 2012

Maybe I wasn't the first, but I haven't seen pictures of yours.

HARDTRAILZ · Mar 28, 2012

Strung leds all over and under the truck. Strip after strip are just stuck in the garage these days. Used to have the remote to do patterns and what not even. Still have some blue wheelwell ones on the truck and actually plugged them in last week and they work after wheeling. I figured they were trash.

I wish I could justify doing the dash ones, but I just dont have the time to mess with it.

Zapp Brannigan · Mar 28, 2012

1) Regular oil change
2) Cleaned Throttle Body
3) Replaced the Secondary Air Check Valve (P0410 code)

All better now!!!! Now that I stopped throwing the code I can get my overdue inspection done!!! :wootwoot:

Nice looking skid plate. :thumbsup:

fireman4215 · Mar 28, 2012

Installed a set of supersparkz. I noticed a difference in idle and a little in throttle response.

That's one HELL of a clear cote job they did! :rotfl:

Sparky · Mar 28, 2012

Looked for fog light hookups, hoping that GM used the same harness on the LS as on the LT models. They didn't.

Also looked over my front end again trying to figure out why I have a vibration at highway speeds, and noticed that the wheel weight on my passenger front wheel is missing. Well, that might be why... I'll have to get them rebalanced.

Voymom · Mar 28, 2012

I switched around some car seats only to learn that they won't fit where I need them, tried to adjust the headlights as to not blind anyone with the new HID's but that was unsuccessful as the lights are being buttholes. So the lights are back on the to do list this weekend. Tried mounting my HID's boxes? but hubby didn't grab any bolts from work last night, so that goes onto the to do list as well for this weekend.

I zip tied mine to the header panel, quick and easy

David B. · Mar 28, 2012

Changed the oil, and definitely saw that both my CV Axles need to be replaced. Boo.

hitman · Mar 28, 2012

Are u talking about the ballasts?? Didn't u get double sick tab pads for them? We stuck them on the plastic where the lights are . We also ziptied them s if the pads didn't hold the zipties would.

Is there a door to access the oil drain and filter? Or do you have to unbolt and swing it out of the way?

07ChevyTruck · Mar 29, 2012

The 04 running a little rough today. Damn weather changing like it did. :frown:

So my front diff is sitting on the ground and I'm in a rental :-(

It looks like you have to remove it

Glad to here it mate. Can't begin to imagine how much it would how cost to fix if not under warranty.

Back on topic ...

Took (my wife actually did as its her DD) our truck to the shop today to get a valve stem looked at. I went to put air in the right rear tire the other day and all it did was leak air! :lipsrsealed:

The stem was holding the air in the tire but when I tried to add more air it just kept hissing. :hissyfit:

The shop said the valve stem was rusted bad in 2 places and needed replacing. $100 (no labor charge) later we have a new valve stem and I feel safer knowing my wife doesn't need to worry about the tire going flat on her.

Dam those things are expensive. Does anyone know if this is a DIY repair? :confused:

HARDTRAILZ · Mar 29, 2012

You got screwed. 25-30 bucks tops for new valve stem. Not a diy though.

Sparky · Mar 29, 2012

Unless it was because his has the built in TPMS sensors...

It does have the TPMS sensor built in. I am guessing that's why it cost me that much.

HARDTRAILZ · Mar 29, 2012

The sensor is another 25 maybe?

woody79 · Mar 29, 2012

HARDTRAILZ said:

Yeah I think we did get hosed :sadcry:

A Doorman replacment sensor is $62 on advance auto. The part they used was a ACDelco one and it was listed on the receipt as being $96. The rest was tax. Wish I had had the time for more research, but it was one of those situations were I needed it fixed asap.

HARDTRAILZ · Mar 29, 2012

But it was there and it is fixed. Plus the real key...wife should be happy
