Lol! I swear I was taught the same thing! As soon as I saw that one, I thought to myself..: the apostrophe shows possession...
Oh well. That will get us through until next time. Better later then never.. [emoji6]
This is another that makes me nuts..

Yes. This is one of those exceptions in the English language; it's not a particularly easy language to learn.
Then there is the widespread misuse of apostrophes to indicate plural; e.g., "there are two car's in the lot."
What is this English 101? 
I speak my own ****** english.
I like to stick ***** in the middle of everything. Like Wal ***** Mart, cold ***** beer, big ***** ****, broken ***** bolt, 10mm ***** socket etc...

Then you might call it English ***** 101.
And to get this thread back on track, I'll say that I did nothing to my GMT900 today 'cause I don't have one.

Welp i installed the new ac belt on my hoe.
It came with a little install tool and a sheet with instructions that made 0 sense.
FSM explained it much better.
Tried with out using the tool first, and then with the little tool.
Much easier With the little install tool... lol

I don't have one either but I have to chime in.
could/should/would 'of' drives me insane.
And no one else cares about when people use “then” instead of “than”...?

Figured with all this English class going on, we needed some street class...
So now we have your contribution to this course. Collaborative teaching.... awesome! LOL
I have 2 door seals to put on and a drivers seat cushion and seat cover to put on and it goes into the transmission shop Monday for a upgrade/repair with a new billet torque converter and some work to the valve body, and whatever they recommend once they dig into it so I will probably do the door seals and seat cover after it comes back from the shop. Being lazy and working on a new computer build I have both windows 10 and windows 7 booting up in 30 seconds. The trucks been mostly just sitting parked I drove it to the gas station and back last night for some ice cream.

Let's get back on track.
After watching many YouTube videos on it, I was reconsidering my ability/time to swap my H3 motor mounts into the Denali. I called around to some local shops just to see what they'd charge. I found out most won't even swap in "non-original" parts, or any parts they don't supply (and mark up). Best option so far is over $900 including parts, which would net something like $700ish labor. I was expecting more like $400ish labor.
The most straightforward methods require partial or complete removal of the exhaust manifold heat shields. I know I have a broken manifold bolt. This seems like the best opportunity to proactively upgrade the bolts to ARP. I think this is escalating quickly.

My Hoe runs great.
Valve train sounds great (passenger side needed some run/break-in time for it to sound like the driver side )
Oil pressure is also great now.
Topped off the trans fluid from when i had the radiator out, still shifting great.
Ordered a P08 to celebrate!
Life is good.

I'm pretty sure I have at least one. I found the head of a manifold bolt in the driveway a while back. And there's a pronounced exhaust tick when the engine is cold.Manifold to head bolt broken?

We did it with a floor jack and block of wood without removing the exhaust on my old burb.
You have to tear up the heat shield on the one your wishing to remove and then work your way in with the new one. Its not terrible just awkward for sure.

Exhaust doesn't need removal to swap mounts. But I'll be shoulder-deep in that area, especially the passenger side (see below). There are a dozen methods if you poke around on YT. My favorite methods I've seen:
Driver side: Steering shaft comes out and exhaust heat shield loosened. Mount can be snaked out and replaced.
Passenger side: Starter, oil dip stick tube, fender liner and exhaust heat shield come out completely.
Upgrading the manifold bolts now, at 120k miles, seems like a good idea, before more break. All it adds to the driver side work is pulling the fender liner for better access. And if I pull the passenger side manifold off, I may not have to remove the starter to swap the mount, so there's that.
Or maybe it's too late, some of the bolts are nearly broken in the head, and I'm about to bite off more than I can chew. It's probably that, lol. "Nine hundred bucks, you say?...hmm".
