My son broke the faucet to the guest bathroom shower, last night. (OK, it broke when he was turning it off.) So, after work, this morning, I had to make a Home Depot (Tehachapi) run (grabbed a few other project needs while I was there), stopped at Love's Truck Stop (also in Tehachapi) for a CB antenna need, stopped by Jim's CB Shop/Radio Shack (Mojave, he's closing his doors after 45 years of service, CLEARANCE SALE!!!!, will officially close on 20 Oct), and rolled home to treat the spa, fix the shower, and put my CB officially together for use TONIGHT. (FINALLY!!!!) Tomorrow, I will wrap my CB & scanner in black foam, to keep CRAP from falling down around them.

Did a power steering service yesterday.

Got an online coupon from Advance Auto. 1 gallon of power steering fluid for the price of 2 quarts. Was going into town anyway so picked up the gallon of PS fluid.

 

Jacked up front of truck, put on stands.

Sucked old fluid out of power steering reservoir.

Removed low pressure return line to power steering pump. Adapted a length of hose to return line so it would reach drain pan.

Turned steering wheel several times lock to lock to remove old PS fluid.

Reattach low pressure PS line to reservoir.

Fill reservoir.

Turn wheels lock to lock several times to fill system with PS fluid.

Top off reservoir.

Start truck and turn wheels lock to lock.

Check PS fluid level and top off.

So far on this beautiful day, today I've sold and programmed a GM#15252034 FOB to a 2008 Cobalt and repaired and sold one of the same for a 2010 Malibu. Cut some lawn and changed an H11 bulb on the wife's G6, what a pain. This afternoon I have a cluster repair and an other Caravan FOB repair to do. Good day so far!!! Already 24°C ( 75°F ) and not a cloud in the sky.

Yeah I’ve done that on a 2009 G6. Hope I never have to again

Are you from tehachapi? Did my concealed class there. Currently applying for jobs on Edwards and may move somewhere closer. Just can’t leave Kern County without risking my CCW.

I'm a Navy brat, born/raised in San Diego. Joined/retired USAF, 91-13. Live near Edwards, been assigned here twice on active duty, 96-99 & 04-current. Once you have your CCW, you're good, just easiest to acquire in Kern.

    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
    • Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
