I still have a little bit of a leak, and I put that red locktite stuff on there. I had 2 wrenches on there, and I'm pretty sure it's as tight as it will go. But it definitely sounds better. I think the flimsier looking bracket would probably be easier to put on.

You mean gaskets and broken exhaust manifold bolts?
My apologies. Yes I has them remove the broken exhaust bolts. My buddy owns the shop and threw in some speed engineering shorties he had laying around dirt cheap. Clesned up my engine bay and no more broken exhaust bolts or that annoying "tick" from the exhaust leaking.

I wish other companies would follow havoline and come with a 6 qt jug / box. That extra 1 quart kills me
Just buy (2) gallon jugs. That way you have some to top off with and for the next few changes you’ll only have to buy a gallon. It makes no sense paying the quart price. It doesn’t go bad like milk does.:deal:

Buddy got some sweet new 2021 20" take-offs for his Denali, paid $1,399 mounted and balanced with nice brand new continental tires, matching lug nuts, and TPMS. Killer deal IMO if you are in FL check out The Real Wheels in Tampa.

Not sure what exact model these came off but whatever finish is on these is shiny AF.

I am laying if I say today but the last things I been doing was ground the headlights so high/low and fog lights are working the same time also did put in Fahren Forscher Led light's 60w 9005/9006 4 lightbulbs kit and a curved 800 X 80mm 180W led light bar in the upper grill from X-Vision (Genesis 800). Note it's some Chinese thing they sell here in Europe but must say it preform very well, it's not a copy but the name are way too similar to the Vision-X.

Ahh E85….. but hell even that is a fawking dollar a gallon more than it should be!! 2.80 last fillup. I know who to blame, but will refrain from political talk. :mad:
$3.15-$3.29 in WNY currently depending on area you are in. @ 12 mpg it’s lovely.

I buy multiples of the 5 qt jugs and use the next one to supplement the current oil change. Eventually it will work out...
That’s what I do as well, as I need to add 1.5 quarts or so every 3,000 miles it goes pretty quick & is cheaper then buying 1 quart. Wally World has my valvoline blend for 17.xx not to bad.

5 seconds ago I finally did get rid of the automatic headlights, did do the resistor hack and it did work fine om my truck. I was a bit sceptical because the dome override method didn't work on my European sepced Tahoe. Have DRL delete in the RPO so didn't get those ugly lights to start ether, now it's totally dark on off and the fog lights can go on in all settings above. So was a really success!

Lol. I just removed the resistor I put in years ago. I originally had trouble blowing HID ballasts but I recently did a true retrofit with Morimoto HID’s and their ballasts come with a nice relay setup. I like having the automatic headlights, especially when I’m locking or unlocking it at night so the headlights stay on for a bit. Why did you disable yours, I’m assuming because of HID’s? BTW there’s a full time fog mod so they’re on all the time the headlights or marker lights are on.

Haha what a coincidence!
I didn't like how early my light's did come on, here we can use the fog lights as DRL but not legal at all in use other then with parking lights, goes the same by law in fog, never okay use low or high in combination with fog. So now it looks better and are legal.

I don’t understand why fog lights are illegal at times, it’s lower to the ground. I can see why hi beams are. I like driving with mine on looks nice. Just wish they weren’t mounted with cheap plastic.

Exactly. They mandate DRL’s and fogs work the same way as far as being seen imo plus look better.

This is how the new lights preform in wet weather. The mobile phone doesn't pick up all lights and was driving so pictures aren't the best. It's okay light.
