Picked up the 3m eraser wheel and changed out the rear GMC emblem.

It's freaking hot to do anything else, mid 90s with high humidity.

My 2011 had the black GMC badges front and rear and I really liked the look. If I would've known how easy it was to remove the front grill emblem I would've done it while at the salvage yard removing my other belongings.

(Still) cleaning up 2 quarts of oil that spilled in the back floorboard. I'm so glad I had the WeatherTech liner back there! Also glad it was new/clean synthetic oil. It doesn't smell at all. Also glad my neighbor hooked me up a while back with a hefty stack of PIG Mats. On the up side, this has prompted a deep carpet shampooing and vacuuming.

Had it up today and checked the upper control arm bolts. All four took a half turn before my torque wrench clicked at 148 foot pounds. Everything else is tight.

took the sway bar out and found a buildup inside the bore of the bushings and rust buildup on the pad of the frame between the bushing and the frame. The bushings were sort of galled to the sway bar and should be replaced soon but in the absence of parts I lubed them up with spray anti-seize and put everything back together. Now the sway bar moves smoothly in the bushings. Fingers crossed.
That’s the reason I switched to greaseable sway bar bushings from Energy Suspension so I can just hit the zerks once in awhile. My sway bars always seemed to make noise.

I probably spilled 3 or 4 quarts in my explorer some years ago. I had a large tote of about 6 or 7 gallon bottles of dirty oil to recycle. Tossed them in the hatch, and headed to O'Reillys. Came up on a stop sign a little too quick and the whole tote rolled forward. I think I lost the lids to two or three of the jugs and oil went errrrrywhere. I tried to clean it up but there was always an oil glaze on the carpet. I considered it free rustproofing. So it's possible. Lol

He said it was new though, that’s why I was wondering. New jugs are pretty hard to pop the lids on even when you’re trying.

Went to the energy suspension website and I can’t even enter my vehicle in the search. Only appears to go to 2006.... wth.

You might have gone to that imposter website, Energy Suspension Parts. Although I went to the real website, entered your truck, and it said no products. It’s stupid, they used to have their catalog in PDF form and it was easy. Now it sucks. The bushings are universal though, I just went by diameter but now I can’t find the greasable ones. Why can’t people leave things alone. Stupid. Here’s their section on sway bar bushings but it’s a mess.

Probably stolen, note says they don’t have the mounting brackets or bolts. Plus he’s pretty defensive saying he’ll block you if you ask questions basically
I don't blame this seller at all. I do pretty much the same wording in my ads on FBM, because FB makes it way too easy for tire-kickers to ask inane questions with the click of a mouse. I've got two sets of wheels up right now, and I daily get "Is this available?" and "Will you ship?" (my ads clearly state no shipping), and offers of 50% of my asking price. I hate listing there. But that's where the local buyers are now. Ugh.

Yeah but if he took it off his own vehicle he would have the mounting brackets and hardware versus when somebody steals something it’s a quick grab and go. Me personally, when somebody is selling something that’s missing parts that would be left behind in a robbery I don’t give them my money. Something just doesn’t feel right about that ad.

Did front struts (Monroe QuickStruts) and a trans fluid exchange. I did not drop the pan; I sucked it out of the pan and hoses. Refilled six quarts via the dipstick tube. Ran the engine until it filled up about two 1-gallon jugs while pouring fresh fluid in. It’s refreshing to watch the color change. A local shop quoted about $500 to do the struts. I chose Amazon at $112/ea. Took 60 minutes to swap both of them out. I’ll just need an alignment soon.
