I think the first step of a double flaring tool does the same thing

One thing i haven't done yet, double flare.
Closest thing was a 37 degree flare for AN fittings.

And this is the tool: https://www.ebay.com/itm/274048437564
I paid much less for it years ago (iirc less than $30 as used on amazon), I nearly bought a new one since it's so freaking handy.

Then i got the bright idea: measure the freaking ball bearings and see if i can't order new ones.


:yaoface2:

Now i have plenty of spares should they decide to separate from the tool again.

This is sad. 2 years old. All other rotors are fine and now way near rusted and worn like this on off the right front. Outside ain’t bad but the inside is torn to ****.

Sticky caliper, replace the caliper before you put it all back together, compare the pads to see what I mean
Yeah I did all 4 calipers a month or so ago. That's when I noticed this needed attention. Trying a set of rotors and pads from 1A Auto.

My lady friend's mom has an 09 White with 115k that she's talking about selling soon for some more economical thing.
Took the picture with a potato, but you can still kind of tell how rough the roof and Hood paint are.

Is the foam breaking down, along with the seat cover?
Yeah, the cover is actually not too bad, it's the foam that's uncomfortable. Especially the side where you get in and out it's a little bit lower than the center of the seat.

Easily replaceable if you wanted to. Some guys bring the foam back, some using steam. It raises the foam up. Look under that part of the seat. I bet you'll see alot of foam dust under there.

I might try going fancy and put in some cooled seats and just get rid of these cloth SSV seats anyway.
I wonder if there's a way to easily make a suspension seat bottom and still use the stock seat rails.

I'm so used to looking at my own, it's weird actually being parked next to a stock one and seeing how different it looks and sits.

Edit
Got HPTuners to read the widebody just fine, but still need to figure out the histogram for AFR error.
Hopefully before I leave, because then I can get a good bit of logging in before I hit state line.
Definitely filling up the tank in AZ where it's like $1.50 cheaper/gal

Not going back with the PowerStop drilled and slotted?
No I'm just going with these for now and waiting to see how the rear powerstops hold up and go from there. The front set really disappointed me. I already see a huge difference in braking power.

Wanted to swap out my spark plugs for new set of Genuine GM ACDelco Iridium Spark Plugs 41-162 19417055
after 115k miles on my 2011 Suburban, but didn't have time this weekend. Going to do it next weekend.
It will run smoother. I bought my 2012 Denali it had 134 k on it and clearly had OE plugs. It ran fine but the idle was smoother. Its amazing how these Iridium plugs last. The platinum pugs are basically done by 80k miles.
