So… the way they gain 1/2” on that ball joint stud is to take the ball joint out of the arm and then bolt it on top of the arm… more sketchy, but apparently possible on a 2wd

This is only for 2wd with coil spring, this won't work for 4x4 with torsion bars.

Ah. You are screwed then. Get bigger wheels

After getting the occasional "tighten fuel cap" message a few times over the past several months, replaced the vent valve and the purge solenoid. I tested both old ones afterward and the vent valve sticks closed sometimes, so I'm hoping that's the issue with the evap monitor not completing.

Good job! Keep us posted. Sounds like you found the problem. [emoji631][emoji16][emoji106]

Really, really weak, but wtf.. my pos Chicom backup camera has been fading since installation. I really don’t see a need to replace it, or anything, so just used some model paint, to clean it up. We’ll see how long it lasts:

And, a milestone.. I was cringing for most of these 1k miles... :

Also put these cheap valve caps on the wheels a couple weeks ago. I like them. I know they won’t last long, but I thought they looked pretty decent:

Isn’t that cute. They even say GMC on them.!

Finally. You doubled my mileage.... LOL

Seriously, though, I hope mine can look half as good as yours when mine gets there!

Looking good Sam!
Edit: I just ordered GMC logo valve stem caps, couldn’t let you do that all by yourself. Lmao. Or lame-o according to my buddy Jimmy.

put these on a month ago or so. Guess I’m “lame-o” too.

 

[Rocket Man]

Haha. I had a buddy who thought when people would type lmao when they were talking to him were calling him a lame-o even though that made no sense since the letters aren’t even in that order. He wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. Lame-o!

Finally got around to changing my knock sensors. Had both wires tied to the one good sensor since October when I bought the rig. Felt good to clean up the engine valley as well. Hoping to do sway bar bushing and links tomorrow.

Oh and I also installed my 1.25 hub centric spacers as well!

Hell yeah!! I got my million alcohol wipes the other day, so I have no excuse to wait to do mine... except for all the labor involved to clean all the gunk off that I’ve been applying for a couple years. Lol.

i literally did none of that. i washed it a few days before with normal car wash soap and then had some time to waste so started applying it. came out great. i just need to do a few more parts, side view mirror trim, mud flaps, and i think im gonna put it on the plastic parts at the back corners between the glass, what ever those are called lol

 

[Rocket Man]

Pretty much what I did too. Yesterday I washed it, today I wiped it down with denatured alcohol ( I always have a gallon can of it plus some others like lacquer thinner) and applied the Cerakote. I was worried since I had painted mine 2-3 years ago and this stuff says it’s for unpainted plastic but it came out great. Oh and I vacuumed today too. Hope the Cerakote lasts on the painted plastic, we’ll see.

 

[Bear77]

Those trim pieces are looking good! May just have to look into getting myself some too!!

That’s a great idea. It’s always a struggle to get that plastic trim around the rear windows, and rear glass to look decent. I’ll bet the cerakote will work great!

I think I’ll try that too. I always hate applying any product to those though, it’s hard to keep it off the glass and paint.
