I will take a look at the Bosch......which means i never made it to the auto parts store over lunch.
I agree with not duplicating Rain-X and have heard that the fluid can mess up nozzles.
Finally got those silly 194 switchback bulbs to work correctly, whoooo.
Well that and I plasti dipped my interior tan panels yesterday
Rear shot to show the tan panels I didn't hit yet (they've since been sprayed)
Trunk, not perfect but it's whatever
Pretty close color match

This is actually yesterday and today. I took all the small bow ties off the hubcaps and front doors, cleaned them and painted them black with Krylon plastic paint. (Don't have pics of those)
Took my front black bow tie off the centre bar and where there's an indentation, sanded it down and sprayed it silver.

The wombar was looking pretty sad after winter with it's cheap chinese paint job. So I took it all back to bare metal, etch primed and flat black with Rustoleum. Got another sticker and Bob's your Uncle.

And lastly, installed the new boards that May made for me (Thanks again mate!!
), so I now have dual parks...dual turns and indicators are in the works.

Those LEDs are so much better then the cheapies I used for testing. Your video showed the dim/bright differences much better!

Picked up the tb today from the shop. As some of you know I had to have a bolt removed after it got sheared off. Well they ended up breaking 3 more bolts all which were seized up. They removed all the bolts replaced them and put anti-seize on. Also replaced my manifold gasket. The tb sounds better than ever. On my way home i noticed a high pitch squeal coming from under the hood at high rpm. So after investigation I discovered that my tensioner was going out. Replaced that and slapped a new belt on for good measure. Now the tb is finally back to its normal self.

I should have this same mod soon thanks to MAY03LT (for the Envoy board) and Sparky (for the skills and willingness to help)
What LEDs did you use, Matt?

I totally agree with the Bosch blades. I installed a set last fall and love them. They hug the windshield very well.Bigbadbowtie08 said:As a storm chaser... No I'm not Reed Timmer!I switched to Bosch Icon wiper blades. They are a bit expensive but I estimate they will last a few good years. I then put rain-x on the windshield and windows to help the water bead up and off of the glass surface.

As for the Rain-x, I did not know it could cause those sort of issues with the nozzles. I have been using Rain-x fluid in the TB for the last few years and also in my wife's Sunfire for at least 5 years with no issues. I will watch out for potential issues. Thanks for the heads up on this
I haven't done much to the TB today really. My wife drove it to work. I get to investigate tomorrow and try to figure out why the service 4wd light came on today, although it did go off again.

I already had the top ones in there, IIRC I got them from VLEDS.
The new middle non-SRCK I got from Kev Wix.com LEDS created by dfwizleds based on auto-repair-express | Wix.com, but I think I'll change all the rears to Cree LED's from Kev. $20-22 a pair is a bloody good price.

Woo Hoo! I'm at it again! Noticed the burning smell coming from under the driver's seat, unbolted and took the seat out and sure enough it's something actually with the bottom of the seat. I checked the carpet under the seat and it did not smell at all like burning wires.. Now to try to figure out what the heck is making this happen! Good news is: It's not any of my wiring that I have done in the truck, It's GM's wiring.
Do you think an officer would write me a ticket if I drove sitting on a upside down 5 gallon bucket with a bungee cord across my lap? :wootwoot:

Replaced the cam position sensor do to code PO340. Cleaned the throttle body, CPAS connector(need a new one), MAF sensor and IAT sensor. Next on the list is giving it a bath.

ordered my h1 HID kit, mini h1 projectors, bought the supplies to convert 9006 to h1 and I am ready to do the drl killer...should be a fun week ahead 
i am also going to try and see if i can somehow get the bixenon feature of the projector shield to work either off of the quad mod or off a switch in the car since our vehicles dont have the bixenon lighting

When I changed mine, i didnt need a special tool. A regular spark plug socket worked perfect for me

When I had my misfire issues a month ago, I was going to buy this tool to do my plugs, but their inventory was wrong, so I ended up getting a regular spark plug socket and used a universal joint with an extension. Got the job done without any further issues.
