Ok so what exactly is a retrofit. I've seen it on here before but does anyone sell it already done I have twin 3 year old girls one with a heart condition. We had her 2nd open heart surgery last Halloween so I don't have a ton of time for projects. What kinda time frame does a retrofit take?

So sorry to hear about your girl. If you want something you can just swap out go with Depos. A retrofit can be time consuming if you do it yourself and involves baking open the headlights and mounting a projector, lining it up correct,etc. I did a set and it took me a couple three days. You can buy a pre-made set if you want to drop $300-500 though. Great light output though. They’re the best lighting option but you pay with labor or cash.

Ugh working on the front end. I'm stuck on this damn pitman arm. Idler arm and bracket went in easy enough but I think the pitman arm bent my puller.....

My cheap Amazon backup camera took on some water during a wash a few weeks ago and never recovered.
Today I replaced it with one that claims to be waterproof.
Also fixed my drivers door lock that kept jamming and locking me out. The rod must have bent when I changed the regulator.
I also attempted to reset my oil pressure sensor
I have an oil leak, and I am hoping that was the source. I guess I'll have to keep an eye on it and see. Shouldn't take long to figure that one out.

A little after the fact, but I also replaced my radiator on Sunday after it decided to spring a leak while on the road on Saturday.

It’s not a Moog I hope. Edit: are you having trouble pulling the old one or installing a new one?

I can't get the old one off the steering pump(still). I got it off the linkage using a pickle fork but my puller is bent.

I got an ac delco professional pitman arm

I got ac delco for pitman and idler arm and bracket and moog problem solver for UCA and tierods

Hope you oriented it correctly.... Lol

Lol yes i did it steers straight and had no play I'm very happy.

I also HIGHLY recommend/ hat anyone doidoindoidoing the idler arm and bracket and pitman arm get a pickle fork that thing was a life saver. And if you do ththe idler and bracket together dont bother taking the 2 apart.

Saved the easy for last, eh?

Absolutely haha

Halfway home from work today I get the "check coolant temp" message. It's about the 10th day in a row of 95-100 degrees. Fu**ing aftermarket e-fan harness. I rebuilt it last summer with 40-50 amp relays, bigger wire and 50 amp mega fuses. Didn't blow a fuse, it just melted everything. Including the damn fuse itself. I checked the fans and they seem fine, 30 amp startup then they go to 15 amps draw. I'll be installing the OEM harness I bought from @ScottyBoy.

@Rocketman I thought you would have had that installed by now.
Remember, you need to add an additional relay in order to be able to connect with that AC compressor wire. The blue trigger wire on the OEM harness is the AC trigger wire, and it's triggered by a negative. You just need the additional relay to change the positive trigger from your AC compressor wire to send a negative trigger to that blue wire. I have had mine wired up like that since about early 2011 and it's held up just fine in these brutal Louisiana summers.
