I noticed that while driving it sounded like my tire was rubbing the fender. Looked around and didn’t see anything. Decided to take off the wheels and check for sticky pads and still nothing. Took off the rotor and found it to be a bad wheel hub bearing. Got it fixed and running nicely again.

Here in Portlandia it dips into freezing overnight and 40's daytime. No moisture coming for a while. However, always cloudy with a chance of hippies though.

Good looking rig there. Is that a battery tender you got plugged in there? Or some kind of engine heater?
Thank you. It’s a battery tender. I usually leave it on it, especially with these high to low temperature changes.

At one point, living in PNW was a goal of mine. That changed over the last few years lol.

So it had a 4wd hub on it. Wonder if that had been replaced prior.

You just taught me something. I was wondering why they looked slightly different. I wonder why one would put an AWD hub on non-AWD car.

Some of the 4wd hubs are just fine not having the axle hold them together (which is apparently what you had), but others fall apart without it. It depends on the way they're manufactured.

I wonder what the other side looks like.

It is also a 4wd hub:

From researching this, apparently a lot of these PPV’s are set up with 4wd hubs in the front. Some people claim it’s a cost measuring thing from Chevy.

I had let my mom drive my car while I was detailing her new one and she managed to somehow crack the mirror. Ordered a new one from Amazon and am so far pretty impressed with the quality. Luckily the turn signal mirror cap did not get damaged.

At 197,302 miles, I decided to take a trip with the wife to Fredericksburg Tx and to Byrds Adventures in the Ozark Mountains for fun. Noticed that at medium acceleration from a stop I’d hear a thump. Upon closer inspection, I realized my drivers side motor mount was shot (it didn’t even have the heat shield). I replaced it today with a OEM AC Delco one that I got form the dealer. It was right around $270 and had the heat shield. The job took about 1.5 hours and wasn’t too terrible.

Added some LED headlights and fog lights. Rhine lined the roof where I plan to put on a Tahoe or Escalade roof rails and rack. Put down some clips for the mats to keep them from sliding around.
I’ve been looking at head and tail lights for my LTZ; can you share what brand and model yours are? Maybe even a link? There’s so many out there and I’m having a time finding those.

Hey these are the headlights: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08ZCBCJXY?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

These are the tail lights: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08B8DG88Q?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

I’ve had both for about a year and there have been no issues.
