Stereo is installed but I just need to get the steering wheel controls working. For some reason when I try to set up the volume buttons, it is treating both as the same thing... The backup camera is working too! That was fun...

The aftermarket lights use a crappy ball and socket thing for the adjustment. The driver’s side one had popped out in shipping (twice), causing it to hit the lens. Apparently it’s an issue with stock housings, and I’m sure the extra weight of the projectors didn’t help. Got it popped back in tonight and it’s working now. Also wired in the switchbacks tonight and they’re working great. Better pics soon...

Set off the alarm on myself today. Was really stumped how that happened until I realized the passenger lock isn't "going down" when locking the door. Tried manually too and she stuck real good.

Hector is testing my patience this year.

TO THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR STORE! if this were more like UHF, that would totally be a store. Actuator City! Actuator City! Actuator City!

Boy howdy... never thought corn would become the economical option for fuel, but I'm digging it.
Helps that my normal corn station is typically one of the cheapest, and also in a very convenient location for my commute.

My station $3.39(out in B.F.E I saw 3.19 and 4.09)
Expensive stations $3.99
Save almost 15 bucks right there for 24 and 1/2 gallons.
And 87 was $6.05
So corn saved me $65 over regular...

Also hypermiled it just to make it to that station. Was 22mi. Away, DIC said 28mi to empty.
When I got to the station, DIC said 21mi to empty, and averaged 14mpg instead of 8.

Don't ever trust your DIC. It can get you in some situations...

Better mileage because the rig is lighter with no gas (7lbs per gallon)
lol

I'm surprised you could get the DIC to tell you that low of a range. When mine gets that low, my DIC says "low" or "fuel low" on that screen

Weird that oil dropped 20% in the last few days but gas didn’t. It sure goes up instantly. And the big US oil companies just got busted in several audio recordings stating that they don’t want to produce more oil, they want to reward their investors and keep prices high. Thieves.

had the windshield replaced, something hit it yesterday morning, heard a smack! and started looking around, whatever it was it got me pretty good just below the passenger side wiper instant 4" spider web, there were only 2 vehicles on the road in front of me a toyota pickup and a semi to the right of me, it was probably the semi since it hit on that side, o'well all better now.

Swapped wheels and tires on the Yukon. Bought a set for $800 a while back and finally got around to swapping them out since was almost 60°F here.

The Yukon needs a bath but everyone else had the same idea today and lines were 1 hr long. I’ll go later tonight when most folks are in bed.

Had Joseph help do the heavy lifting. Almost didn’t have enough a$$ to do it, but he got it done. Told him if he was stuck on the side of the road with his girl friend he’d figure out a way to impress her so might as well do it here.

Have a set of chrome capped lug-nuts on order that I’ll swap out when I get them.

Damn, makes me feel like a woose!!!!!!!! I struggle lifting my 20"/AT tires up on the hubs when its up on the lift. Guess I am too stupid to lower it down but I was multi-tasking (oil change) at the time.

Safelite? My windshield on the avalanche is pretty ******. I need to get a new one. What did that run you? I'm not sure if my insurance covers glass or not and I have a $500 deductible

Safelite is expensive. I had the one in my 08 Silverado done last year for less than $200 by an independent shop. Safelite wanted about $325.

Thanks for the heads up. I know it has some sort of camera around the mirror (rain sensor for auto wipers maybe?) and was concerned about making sure that was done right.

Took on about a 600 mile trip to see some family member. Did really well, only had one small problem with the brakes not liking being hot. Just took a couple moments for the brakes and code to clear.

not safelite, it's whatever glass the shop I have been going to for 30 years gets, he charged me $235, last time it was little bit less inflation hit's everywhere.....
just went out and looked it's FUYAO it's a Chinese owned company but they make glass in Ohio and in 10 other countries.....so no telling if it came from here or somewhere else

you had a code for the brakes getting hot? on a gmt900? I drive the litteral piZZ out of mine and never had a code for hot brakes but I can tell when they get hot, last trip I took they got real hot so I turned on the transmission grade braking by putting tow mode on helped a lot.
