seconding thins, SUPER easy to do and only takes a few minutes if you have a sawzall, I did that at first then eventually did the full cat back setup from Gibson, it's got an annoying sound around about 3k RPM. I had to use the sawzall to cut off the original bolts between the muffler and catalytic converter, had to drive half up a bank to get the ground clearance to get the sawzall in there to cut the bolts which meant I had to drive it around the yard without ANY exhaust beyond manifold and cat and holy frack it is freaking loud and mean sounding (kinda makes me wanna do a electric cutout at some point).

Finally fixed my tailgate. It wasn't opening at all, handle did nothing, push button for glass did nothing. I ended up taking the inside panel off and found that one rod wasn't connected, reattached that and still nothing. Everything was coated in sticky black stuff so used carb cleaner to rinse everything off and bingo, the handle works again. Did the same thing with the push button for the glass, once everything was working again put a very light coat of 3 in 1 oil on it and closed everything up again.

I did an oil change for the first time in my new poorly-lit rental garage. It's not the best space, but it sure beats working outside in the elements.
I can afford a nice LED work light, but can't afford a real funnel.
Priorities, priorities...

Used the tap test from may03lt to check the cam sensor on the envoy... it failed. Surged three times from light tapping so I'm gonna guess that's why it stalled. Tech 2 agrees.

Hmmmmm. I do have temp display. I'll have to check into that.
All you'll need to do is check the external temp display about 10min into a trip - it'll show 10F or more above actual.

Took advantage of the cool morning weather to get the EXT cleaned up a bit. It was LONG overdue 
Where did you get the headlight assembly? I like the way they look and will they fit my 04 EXT LT?Took advantage of the cool morning weather to get the EXT cleaned up a bit. It was LONG overdue

Built, not bought.
Thanks, and yes they would if I ever decided to get rid of them like my first set... https://gmtnation.com/forums/threads/blckshdws-projector-retrofit-builds.12300/Here's another thread with a lot of other members' projector builds, a spare set of lights (not Eagle Eyes brand
) some patience, and willingness to do the work, and you can have a set just how you want them too.

Awesome, That leaves me out though. If it's a computer I can work miracles but stuff like that I'm next to useless.

Pistol mount install. Magnetic mount advertised with 25 pound strength and little guy is STOUT.

I always thought about this method for when I'm in the truck. Definitely quick access if you need it during a road rage incident where you have to protect yourself. I didn't like the thought of leaving it there when I'm not in the truck (at work, etc).

Had always kept it in center console but it's not immediately accessible there. But yeah, definitely not gonna leave it on the mount when I'm not in the vehicle, it'll go back into the console if it doesn't come with me.

Mounted & wired my Tekonsha Prodigy today (I take delivery of a new trailer on Thursday, if PDI goes well)
Also put some dielectric on the harness connector pins.
Still need to mount some removable tow mirrors; that'll be tomorrow.

Just prepped these Badges to be put on the TB soon. Was going to get started with the retrofit, but don't have the time to leave the car without headlights. Will try it next week

Actually yesterday, woke up the TB from it's winter hibernation. Started right up as if I parked it yesterday. Having the Battery Tender on it kept the battery charged up. The rear tires were almost flat. Some air, check the fluids and she's ready to roll.
Getting her out a little early because the Saab is having some issues. It needs an alignment badly, which probably means tie-rods and ball joints. And it's sucking gas like there's no tomorrow.

Removed the ugly Sirius antenna and ordered a Denali grille. Figure I'll running the washers off the rear washer pump and just add a Y or T.

That probably won't work. The pump for the headlamp washers is high pressure. Also uses high pressure hoses and crimps. I'd just leave them disconnected. They're mostly useless unless you are in the snow belt with lots of salt road spray.
So those models use a different washer bottle? In that case I'd probably leave it as is for now, but eventually it will irk me that it's not functional.

It's basically the same one. It has another hole drilled into it on the "engine" side, just around the corner from the other two. There should be a holder molded in the spot to hold the motor.
The Saab has them but is weird in how they work. Every four times you use the windshield washer, it activates the headlamp washer. Pretty annoying so I just pulled the relay. Had planned to put in a manual switch, never got to it and didn't miss it.

Wash and spray wax.

Went to the local PYP for their sale day. Picked up a set of OEM floor mats, ignition coil and owners manual. My old TB is now complete - it has every accessory and gadget it came with the day it first drove off the dealer lot
Only took 2 years of searching the PYP
