Got my AC working today. New compressor, dryer/accumulator , orfice tube and recharge. Ready for summer now.

I was thinking of fixing my AC it doesn't work and I haven't looked into it as what it could be. Instead I might tint my front side windows 5% limo tint and f the police lol to match the rest of the truck. Lot cheaper then a complete AC system overhaul.

I've been putting off my cat converter replacement, but have become concerned that the check engine light being on constantly because of this might mask other issues that arise. So, I'm going to go ahead and order the stuff I need.

Amazon has good prices on the Walker and Flowmaster units. The Walker is cheaper to begin with ($265 vs $315 or so) and there is also a $50 rebate on the Walker unit. Any experience here with the Walker setup? I've read some reviews on the Flowmaster that it ships with extra O2 sensor openings and no way of plugging them without lots of searching. Any such "gotchas" with the Walker?

Finally got my new wheels on, stock chevy wheels I picked up for $40. Love the look now that they're black.

Finally got the back seat free, 4 of 6 m12 bolts came out rather easily. Two required hammers, torches and finally drills....soon to be tapped to clean them back up. Getting ready for the new carpet

took it out in work field of storage planes and got it dirty dragging an i-beam and railroad ties behind me to level the dirt road before we towed some aircraft across it.

might use it in the feild more often as there is not a lot of vehicles for everyone around here and using mine I can likely get to work on my own or with one other person for us to get stuff done. there is only like 200+ crj-200's sitting on an old closed decommissioned runway. not to mention dhl dc-8/727's, embrear 145's, saab turbo props and so forth. will try and grab some pics of the graveyard in the next day.

Filled it up post-cat install. Hoping for a small bump up in MPG.

I also ordered a ScanGauge II to replace my flaky Torque Pro app.

What I did to my hoe

Trans started slipping so I took it in to have it checked. Turns out I need a replacement trans. Rebuilt trans with upgraded clutches, internals, shift kit, better than stock torque converter and an aluminum 2 row radiator I picked up from ecology auto wrecking for $40. $1200 with 2 year warranty on trans. Has never ran this good since I picked this Hoe up. Lots of invested since I picked this up. Lots more to come. Can't post pics for some reason $$!##&€÷×

After replacing my cats, and eliminating all my exhaust leaks i was expecting a little bump in my MPG. I was sadly disappointed with 14.1 combined city/highway/country back roads. I filled it up again this week and am recording my MPG just to see if i get similar results. Ive changed my driving habits this week (i havent floored it lol) eliminated city driving and cut down on freeway driving.

I use an app called GasBuddy to track mine. I've been getting 12.5-13.5 around town. I don't take many highway trips, but I did get 20 on a trip last fall which was awesome.

i would not complain for that combined driving number.

New speakers (4x10) in the suburban and now they work for the first time ever. Ordered Blue LED lights for the dash

Tahoe: tapped the messed up rear seat bolts, got two replacement bolts. Ordered Red LED lights for the dash, fixed the hi-beam indicator. Next up is the carpet
