I’m getting annoyed by this rattle in the rear driver side door on the wife’s 2017 Burb. Any ideas what it might be? Do I need to just tear it apart and see? I haven’t pulled panels on a vehicle this new. How many clips am I going to break?

Replaced Skid Plate And flaking chrome good trim piece today (plus bunch of audio enclosure upgrades, deadening and wiring but that’s another story)

I got tired of looking at my busted skid plate and finally ordered a new one. 4 bolts to remove and replace with new one.

Not a why really, just a question of technique.
I guess if you want to go through a bunch of extra work just to be more comfortable? I mean valve springs are pretty easy to do with the heads in place. I can do them in a couple of hours or so. #7 & 8 cylinders are the only two that are a bit of a reach, the others are easy.

I think that's a splash shield. I don't think the plastic would hold up well as an actual skid plate.

Yeah not saving work at all pulling the heads. The head/block/bolt hole cleanup is an hours long job as is on it's own.

Funny you say that. I’m fabbing a light gauge piece of sheet metal to back it up right now. Not so much for rocks, but other pokey things encountered off the beaten path.

I know it possible to change them in place. I’ve always had the heads off because I was grinding valves at the same time.

Changed the oil and then I got to work on this.View attachment 272710

I got that when i first got my hoe.
Everywhere said "auto track II fluid" in the t case.
Me: i happen to have a few bottles on hand, so i used it
Man that t case was not happy at all.

Once i put the correct atf in there, all of the issues cleared right up. :D

And i kicked the vette out of the garage again.
I need to organize a bit first, but the hoe is about to get the oil pan pulled.

I'm also scoping out some nice used engine hoists.
Found a super heavy duty one not too far away from there, but it does not fold...

Looks like you could pull an entire car with it. :eek:

All depends on the transfer case as to which fluid to use. Mine takes AutoTrac II.

Either @Doubeleive or @kbuskill bought a metal one with louvers stamped into it. Thought it was pretty pricey though, but looked nice.

I bought the OE steel transfer case and front differential skid plates made for the trucks or Z71s and put them on my 2012 Denali. The holes are already there.
