Got the replacement AC Delco MAF (19330121) from the Amazon truck yesterday. MAF replaced, and reinstalled the BBP tune. She runs so much better now! Now I need to data log and and send that in, to fine tune, since the MAF replacement. Sorry I didn’t get a video, I was only expecting to drive around the block a bit, but got hooked on the new driving experience with this ol girl. [emoji16][emoji631][emoji106]

Should have died today...I-75 S in ATL/Marietta at Mount Paran. Swerved suddenly left into the HOV lane to avoid a driver coming into my lane, over-corrected and went across all 5 lanes, hit an Army transport vehicle, bounced off of him, back left across 2 lanes scraped the right of another car, and then hit the concrete wall. The driver that came into my lane keep going and my truck looks like a total loss. It's been fun reading this forum, but I think that I'm toast. I'm trying not to feel bad about the love and time that I've put into maintenance, upgrades, repairs, transmissions, body work, and other pride inspired self starter type efforts that I've put into this truck, and just instead remember that it likely saved my life. I will not buy anything less than a full-size. Maybe I'll get lucky and find another one nearly like it.
sorry man, I dam near did the same thing in my Silverado the other day I usually goose it getting on the freeway, I got up the on ramp and went to jump over into the #1 lane as usual and there was a car in the #2 lane as I was moving across lanes and checking my blind spot for other cars the car in #2 decided to hit his brakes and as I looked forward again there were brake lights in my face so I hit the brakes and swerved to the left hard missed him and I kind of went over into the center median about 1/2 a lane corrected and got back in the #1 lane, good thing this truck is lowered I was expecting the rear end to swing out on me but it didn't and I managed to not die, could have easily been all bad. not my first rodeo I've done 360's at 70mph trying to avoid other cars before. I rolled my 4runner at about 90mph (front end over end) and I played pinball with a previous silverado on a bridge against the guardrails, got pushed sideways in front a bigrig for a 1 mile, and probably something else i'm forgetting.

Not surprising with the way you have to drive down there just to get where you need to go.

either that or i'm just a crazy person although I have calmed down a little, tickets and repairs from abuse cost money so I keep the maintenance up at severe duty intervals and use heavy duty parts when applicable.

went and did the washer grommet today. got it back together and filled it up and started to leak a bit.

pulled the head light, cause thats where all the past patches are and one came loose and was dripping cause the fluid was higher then the broken line. running the pump blew that line apart. so repaired the line again, but everything was wet of course from when the line blew apart. ill have to see if the tanks still full in the morning. fingers crossed.

If it’s the front line it’s pretty easy and cheap to just replace it.

Soldering some speaker wires for this new android radio. I feel brave because I think I know what I am doing. Lol

You should cut those connectors off, strip the wires and make sure there’s no “stragglers” sticking out. Then use heat shrink tubing on them instead of tape. When you solder and there’s individual strands sticking out like that, the solder flows onto those and make them stiff so when you wrap them with tape they can pierce through and cause shorts. All it takes is two tiny strands touching each other and it’s a short.

I'll definitely do that, I'm just impatient. Still figuring out how to wire all of this. Ordered shrink tubing and plugs. While I wait let's see if this works lol

Helped my son replace the factory rear 8" subwoofer.

The radio has had no bass to it for a while. I told him it's either the amp (behind glovebox) is bad or the sub. He bought a new sub (Planet Audio 8" dual voice coil, ~$35).

The factory sub's surround was totally disintegrated except for a small section. The new one, after wiring the voice coils in parallel with jumper wires, fit great (had to drill new mounting holes though) and sounds great.

I actually did all the work, he just held the light and handed me tools...lol

I thought it’s supposed to be the other way around?

I installed it and so far so good. I have to mess with the radio to get the steering wheel buttons programmed, at least the Source, Volume, Seek buttons the rest are on their own. When turn on the Onstar button it turns the radio off then returns when Onstar is off.
