Welded a nut on the stud...
Then.... it turns out the stud was rusted part of the way through and snapped.
Fuck.
Built a stack on the now flush on head broken stud.... and it didn't work. I'll keep at it.
More come friday. I'm glad I have the backup options posted earlier.
I SUCK at...
Other than disconnecting the negative battery terminal, anything else needed to weld? Where on the block do I ground the welder? I don't want to fry any electronics.
Worst case scenario I forgot I picked these up. They're passenger and driver manifold clamps for the bolts that break nearest to...
I'm working on the headers install. Its a pain in the ass. Not nearly as bad as building a trans ans swapping it in. Still, it sucks.
So far out
- Cover & intake
- Wheels and fender liners
- Spark plugs and wires
- O2 Sensors
- Oil dipstick tube
- Manifolds

My previous NBS Yukon Ypipe...
I did a SLP resonator delete. I need to clean up the cuts since my hack saw had a hard time with the stock 3.5'' pipe.
Im not sold on the looks. I might remove the tip and install something more hidden. The resonator is gone, thats all that matters.
It does make the sound louder. The inside...
I got the sub in. Kicker solo baric s12l7 with 700watt rms amp. Gotta clean up the wiring now.
It's not broken in yet but first take is holy shit. I've never had this much sub. I'm getting old and can't imagine why someone would do anything more!
Before the supercharger I wanted to finish sound and the interior. I picked up a sub kit that fits between the captains chairs. It has a 12 inch "square" kicker sub and a is a bit taller than in the pics.
It arrives in a couple weeks!
My dash is cracked. I have no interest in removing the dash. I took the lazy way and got a dash cover like my grandparents use to do. The first one I got was the wrong color.
The next one I got had no hole for the center speaker. My bad. I'm too lazy to return again so just cut the hole myself...
I cut the connector but can solder it back on. $50, you pay shipping and it's yours. Or make a deal. Whatever

I have that aio too. It might be my equipment but the aio leaves a haze. I prefer to polish the shit out of the paint and is the other klasse without polish in it.
Finally my front end is done. I had been close but got the wrong drivers hub. It was for a gmt800. It fit but the abs connector didn't work. I was outside of the return window so had to eat $130. :(
All done.
- brake lines
- pads
- calipers
- rotors (again)
- end links
- wheel hub
She now...
I did a fairly quick polish. Meguiars 105 then 205 then Klasse sealant. The dealer tried to clean it but left tons of swirls. 3 hours work, not too bad. The porter cable random orbital makes things faster.
Btw klasse is awesome.
It rained pretty much right after I finished. I couldn't get a...
I'm working on making my idle smoother. I did 3 things.
- reprogrammed the pcm to idle a higher at 625 rpm
- cleaned maf. Use dedicated maf cleaner.
- cleaned throttle body. Use dedicated cleaner for this as some destroy coatings and the plastic.
Holy moly this is dirty
After cleaning...
