Well, it's been the past couple of days, but I've done a lot. I bought all of a guy's parts who used to rebuild GMT800s. I am slowly getting them out of his storage. That said, I have an 80% complete Yukon XL 2500, a 90% complete Suburban 250, an escalade body on frame, a Suburban 1500 body (no frame, but 80% of the interior is there), and the cab of a crew cab pickup. On top of that, I have several transfer cases, interior door panels, etc. Once I get everything moved, I'll clean it up, catalog it, and put it up for sale. Please wish me luck. My wife is about to panic...

As Sam said- "Proper".

Is that a latex glove hanging from a light on the ceiling?

Evidence of "DIY". ....( cover the led to lower the brightness? .... Block sensor for smoke detector?

( actually a garage should have a 'heat detector' . Exhaust sets off smoke detectors...

Uh, I wonder what the answer is, for a latex glove up there, is for?????

A customer gave these to me today!!! Looks like Camaro front units. Anyone recognize them. I'm going to put them next to my 4 piston units

I thought it looked more like a sensor than a light. Maybe a carbon monoxide sensor?

whats funny is i just noticed that in the pics after i took em. not sure how long thats been there. we just got new garage doors, so maybe the door guy put it there? i dont really know. looks like a old unused light socket. the openers have a spot for two bulbs, far cry from the single front only bulb the old one had. suppose i should tell the new guy about that too. door guy installed no bulbs. and its dark in there. he also took my good bulb and im sure kept it. why toss a working bulb out? better yet, why didnt he put it in the new opener? ill also have to let the new guy know the garages all flood when it pours out. main reason for buying the quick jack set up. 22 inches of lift. prefect height to keep it safe.

Some overhead door techs are just assholes, and I'm qualified to say that. :anitoof:

I suggest LEDs in operators since the vibrations kill standard bulbs. In my day, we had to suggest "rough service" bulbs. But, they're pricey and that was before LEDs were common.
