Poor Hoe, waiting for sspme attention. View attachment 190591
Just dropped off 3 gallons of atf.
Atf did this to the plastidip.View attachment 190589
Weird. I think once the cold weather breaks I'm gonna try something different, other then dip. Probably more permanent, but out of a can.
Is it obvious I need brakes? Forgot to get a shot of the rotor.View attachment 190590

Youre gunna spray it this time right? Didn't you used to do that for a living? Painting bumpers?

Nope and yup. I'm just gonna redip it. I used to paint/repair bumper covers, but it sucked A$$!! Dipping is so much easier. Although @Fosscore painted bumper is . Looks awesome!

Thanks man. Both front and back bumpers are still looking amazing. A few small rock chips on the front clip and a little mark from removing the headlights on the grille....grrr... but that whole grille/cap/bumper/valance color match project is still holding strong. Transformed the truck 180 degrees.

My wife just got out the hospital yesterday afternoon. But not because of the flu, she had a bad bleeding stomach ulcer. Thankfully the doctors were able to cauterize it and stop the bleeding, and released her the following day. Oh, and I am probably hurting more than she is right now. Try sleeping one those uncomfortable ass couches in a hospital room that folds down into a makeshift bed. My back is absolutely killing me now.

Holy crap. Hope you both feel better soon. I've slept on one of those hospital couch things and I can testify they suck badly.

Swsppedout my amber led drls. Most of the diodes weren't working. I put white leds to replace those, and white leds for the front blinkers. Got the hyper flash again.

I also replaced my messed up backup cam. Water got into it.

I also replaced my door and overhead white leds with blue leds, just because. No night shots tho, it's snowing.
I was also gonna put these in my front map lights. They're super bright. I even modified them to fit.

Once plugged in, they weren't that bright anymore. So I left the other leds in.

That's the same brand of backup cam that I just put in my Silvy. It has a great picture for such a cheap cam.

I'm not sure if I have a wiring issue, but now the new isn't working. The old one didn't work for awhile, but suddenly it started working again. On the reviews for the camera, a few people complained about the same thing.

Weird. Mines a different model but same brand but had a 4.8 star rating on Amazon.

I finally did my tensioner pulley. It was making noise for awhile. I'm hoping this was the one making noise.

Old

New

All this time I still had the stock rear speakers installed and didn't even know it. Needless to say, but they were shot.

This one still worked lol.
Had some old Rockfords laying around, so I threw them in there. They were a different size so I made them fit.

 

[Tonyrodz]

I took the cloth covers off the stock speakers and hot glued them onto the Rockfords, since they were smaller. Worked out great.

Now I just need to run an amp to my door speakers.

 

[Tonyrodz]

My backup cam has worked intermittenly, but now it's not working at all. I changed the RCA cables and the hot lead is getting power when in reverse. I think it might be something internal to the radio. It's a Pioneer dd.

Man even speakers rust in Jersey lol. Good work Tony.

If you do a search, there's a GM person on here that'll send them for free. You have to pm them, but I don't remember who they are, lol--I'm old and forget alot!
