If you mean me, it's a 6x25mm steel roll pin!

I did a bunch of routine maintenance. Trans drain and fill, oil change and a new rad. Gonna do the pac aux module tonight, ls9 valve springs and a tune up.

What is the PAC aux module you have? Is it for the factory nav?

It wires into the xm radio module so you can have an aux cord.

Here is what I did:
Amazon Amazon

Miss a bit of SQ with the bluetooth but the convenience is unbeatable. Phone calls sound absolutely awesome.

Both of these are interesting. I'd like to see how you like the PAC module. I am just looking to use an aux cord to run to my factory nav. I am tired of listening to commercials on FM radio.

I recommend it highly. If I feel the need for SQ, I just pop in an old school CD. For phone calls and talk radio (yes, I'm old), it's the hot ticket IMO and SOOOOO fast and easy to link. The FM antenna interface borks the radio's FM reception halfway and the AM all the way but I'm an iheartradio guy so I don't lose anything. In fact as I said, the SQ for talking is amazing. Of course, the upgraded interface, amp, and drivers helps too.

Default coolant system rebuild..ish.

New radiator hoses...bottom one was a bitch, ended up pulling the whole radiator and fan shroud to get to it...oil change and tire rotation.

Now its puking...worse then before out of the inlet hose...( http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/oe-gm/19129865 ) WTF....

Why do they want $100 for two hoses which a check valve...or am I missing something. What is that Tshaped plastic thing?

I have done more work to the coolant system on this car then any car I have ever owned. That being said, STILL more reliable than any dodge car or truck I have owned. Worth it.

The T-shaped plastic thing is a tee junction. You could replace it with a decent hose barb.

the left hand junction past the plastic piece is most likely cracked and just pukes everywhere...

Completed the Creative Steel trifecta by swapping out the tranny mount, diff bushing, shifter bushings, and adding the diff block.



Also installed Brian's Hurst and got rid of the sticky goo on the shifter plate surround.
