I’m really trying not to.. it’s too easy..! I haven’t got my diff fluid yet, and really need to put that girdle rear cover on before I cause some damage.. but yeah, they spin quite easily these days, just under 1/2-3/4 throttle.
Just be careful. I'd spin mine occasionally--it is so much fun--until the rear finally gave up the ghost. It did last a few years tho.

@Rocket Man didnt you replace all the wire loom on one of your trucks? Is there a kit that has enough to do everything? Or can you point me in the right direction on how much of each size I would need? Budget is out the window, so I might as well make it look like I tried under the hood, lol

I didn’t do all of it on either truck, I’ve done quite a bit though. I just bought rolls of split loom in several different sizes.

My dad's buddy never welded the new top of the cab on for him, so he ended up just letting me have it. It has e-fans, hopefully they still work. And either the engine is locked up or the starter went out while it sat. Plenty of decent parts though, I might even cut the rocker off and patch some of mine with them. I wouldn't mind having these dash barnacles in my rig either, lol

I drove through a car wash ( Motor City ).... They do a nice job drying it off.....
When I was inside, near the end of the brushes, a Ford truck STOPPED.... ( WTH ?)
As I was pushed toward it, I think the Ford driver backed up ) ???? )
I think the roller pusher had a failer??

" Bump "..... crap...... I am shopping for a chrome bumper repair company. ( car wash is paying)

It will be cheaper to buy a new bumper. The only bumpers worth repairing are ones you can’t currently buy, like antiques.

An estimate is around $300 bucks ( and an hour of time...... without being removed )

I'm considering all options......
How can they remove a dent like that and rechrome it without removing it? That metal isn’t thin steel like bodywork where they could do a paintless dent removal thing. It’s thick steel afaik.

They have a way to remove a dent...... no scratching...... But..... the estimate is near a replacement bumper......
What I am now looking for is..... who makes the best bumper / chrome quality / lasting chrome..... ( don't say GM parts..... stupid expensive....

Good... I'll like to know how the beam looks... I saw them but didn't know if they were just for show.

My dad bought it with like 280k on it for 5k probably 10 years ago. It was a super nice truck until he let some lady's kids he was dating drive it to a party. My dad makes some horrible decisions especially if ****** is involved, lol. I want to make a rat rod out of the leftovers. But I definitely need to get this yukon put back together first.
