Morning fellas,
Got my car working. Fingers crossed she stays that way for more than 20,000km this time....
Only some "minor" work (in GM's eyes!!!):
Front wheel bearings + hubs
Replaced all 20 lug nuts with new ones
Replaced oil pump drive shaft o-ring (re-sealed with Ultra Black RTV)
Replaced o-rings in the fuel line
Dimpled the lower-intake mounting surface
Replaced RTV on lower-intake mounting surface with Ultra Black RTV
Replaced upper intake bolt seals
Applied blue thread locker to all bolts on my way back up
Retorqued all my engine bolts from heads to upper intake
Applied High Temp Thread Sealant to timing cover bolts and re-torqued
Drained power steering pump & refilled with cold-weather synthetic fluid
Bled power steering system
Oil change with synthetic
Coolant flush
Come on GM! Not less than 50,000 more kms this time!

No snow or rain here today but I`m sure it`s coming all too soon.
Don`t you just love working in the great white outdoors these days Sherm?
I agree with Gerry, hopefully it doesn`t come here anytime soon.
Bummer on the internet problems Grant, any idea of why? I remember the dark days of dial up, that was real bad.

Evening everyone. Our snow doesn't seem like its going anywhere, and the days are getting shorter and shorter. Its pretty much pitch black outside by 5:30pm already. Oh well I enjoy winter, just not when its -50* with a horrendous wind chill. On a good note, the Goodyear AT/S's that came on my truck aren't as bad as I thought they would be but they are still getting replaced, I just need to decide what size I will replace them with....
Hope everyone is having a good week so far.

Took my truck into the dealer today to get my heated seated repaired. I hope I don't need it for awhile yet. Man is it ever muddy here again, there is even water starting to lie in the fields.
