Rebuilt my front suspension to include prothane bushings and got an alignment. What a difference they had made.

Did my sway bar links this past week after discovering the passenger side was broke off. This is the third or forth GM SUV I've had to do this to.

replaced the idler pulley hoping it would end the new squeak. (pulley had a little play in it) but of course its still there. PS pump, AC, Alt, and tensioner all seem fine. looks like it might be water pump time...again... or fan clutch (both replaced along with the belt since i've owned the truck)

Took the grille off and changed out the parking lights and the headlamp units with a set I got from 1aauto. The front looks like a new truck now, and I can see properly at night again. The latter is the reason I did the job in the first place, but having it look nice is definitely a fringe benefit.

And yes, I did try the polish route before going for new, but those old units were just too hammered by sun and rocks to respond at all.

Did a brake job on rear axle. All original inside from 1996 right down to the nails. Shoes were polished and not much wear in the drums. Both wheel cylinders were leaking a bit. Replaced shoes, springs and both wheel cylinders. Cleaned all up. Bled the lines, good to go.

Replaced the master cylinder and brake booster.... Two footed standing on the pedal to attempt to stop was just plain nuts.

Sprayed some more PB on my stupid A/C compressor clutch to stop it from squeeking. (It's 2 months old and I have to do this once a week.) Don't even want to mess with it since I spend over 500 bucks on the A/C this summer.

I ordered the same thing. Glad to hear it looks good. Mine should show up any day now. Gonna have to paint the brush guard to make it looks all shiny and new. As far as what I did today, I replaced an AC vent on the passenger side and put in a new power window switch.

Agreed on this one, instead of spending that invisible money to make updates on my truck, i cleaned it.. seemed like the only thing i can do for now.

About to order some new headlights and get her an alignment/new tire.. 50 bucks for both axles seems pretty cheap to me..
