It wasn't today, but over the weekend got new upper and lower intake gaskets, injectors, fuel pressure regulator, plugs, wires, cap, cam sensor, and distributor installed in my old (now belongs to dad) 1996 Suburban. For all 96-2000 OBS Vortec owners (not sure what other years are affected), when/if you get a chance check your distributor gears. This truck's gear was so knifed that it wouldn't have been very long before it completely stripped out. There was also a lot of play in the shaft. I thought the occasional miss was the injectors, but it was the dizzy. So now dad's burban which we still use to pull our boat is in the game!

The forecast says the next 5 days is nothing but sunshine.
So I spent the better part of this morning washing and detailing my truck.
Looked awesome after I was done.
I had to go to work this evening at 6:00 PM
On my way to work I had to drive through a new construction site. DAMN !!! There was still mud and puddles in the road way. Grrrrrr

put my cb antenna on my tool box and got the 2 bolts that hold my transmission to the cross member in, i bought the truck 8 months ago and i am just now finding that they arent in there, i have heard that that isnt that rare of my trucks to be missing them from a guy that owns a transmission shop so, you might want to check em

Well it wasn't just a days work but here it is.
Took my carpet cleaner to the interior and sucked all the dirt and smell out. Turn out almost perfect.
Installed a receiver hitch to tow our boat.
Had the trans flushed which now works awesome.
Fixed the broken shift indicator spring.
Installed new front brakes and rotors.
Had a new windshield installed.
Adjusted torsion bars. Still playing with front end ride height.
Installed new tailgate hardware.
Today I plan on replacing the pitman and idler arm.
Not sure if I should remove those ugly side steps. As ugly as they are, my aging dad needs them.
She's comin along and is a pleasure to drive!
