Hey GmTrucks-

I've been on this website for a few years now, and I must say this forum is the best on the web. You guys keep it classy, relevant and informative. Even ram and F-series guys can post on here, and not get thrown out! lol!

 

Because of this forum I know about Adams products (even got a few friends hooked on 'em too), I know about Blackbear tunes, AFM issues, How the 6-speed acts vs. 4-speed, the DIC mod for w/t and LS trucks, crew cab wind noise fixes, the power saving feature that kind of dims the lights when at idle, and probably lots more that I forgot about.

 

My friends and family come to me for any questions on their GMT-900 trucks. They also think I have too much time on my hands knowing all of these things, seeing as how I don't own one. They would be correct.

 

Anyways, two months ago i bought a 1994 Suburban 4x4, and have done a lot of repairs to it. I should've taken more pics and posted it on here. Here's the work Ive done so far-

-Welded new roof section on the rear where they like to rust

-fixed the drivers door pins

-fixed rust on the passenger A-pillar

-installed new trailer lights on top

-restored the headlights and taillights

-fixed the rear tailgate, it now opens and closes all the time. Zip ties rule!

-got the headliner restored

-replaced left rear glass, had both of them removed to fix rust behind the right hear. Then had them reinstalled TWICE and they still leak. Amateur hour at the local window install shop..

-installed a new sound system

-installed new rear hatch seal, rear door seals, and upper channel seals for both sides

-Changed the O2 sensor, alternator, air filter, EGR valve and solenoid, knock sensor, front center and rear diff fluids, spark plugs, shocks, tires, both front upper and lower ball joints (Original joints for 193,000 miles, they were riveted in, HOLY CRAP WAS THAT A TOUGH JOB), got an alignment, coolant temperature sensor, oil cooler lines.

-Advanced the timing the other day so it idles smoother now, distributor systems RULE

-fixed the passenger door lock switch by finding some corrosion behind the passenger kick panel and re soldering the wires

-repainted the truck with Plastidip, because it was cheap and durable.

-installed HID system for low beams

-recharged the a/c unit. Blows cold up front, haven't figured out why the rear blows warm, its rear a/c only no heat. One of these days ill get around to it

-replaced many vacuum lines that had seen better days

 

Phew! Thanks for reading, glad I finally got around to making a profile.

      New car smell air freshener

      By Thanusdoss · Posted

      I found an odor eliminator spray that neutralizes unwanted smells pretty well. Using it with the car's AC running helps to distribute it evenly around the cabin.

      Gas Prices

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).
