Installed these:



Left old / incandescent, right new / LED for comparison. In reality, there is more difference in brightness than what the picture shows.

We've been enjoying high 70's since Thanksgiving, definitely enjoying it. It's a little weird running AC during the day and heat at night, but I'm not complaining! I like warm, I'll take warm over snow any day and just travel to snow if I miss it.

We have so many people doing so many stupid actions, it's like a damn mine field getting across town.
Yupperz. One thing I love about plowing is that I get to do most of it when everyone else is in bed.

When you pinch a loaf in the morning, would you say it smells like roses?

I hereby promise to make no more light-hearted comments about 6.0 and leaking. I came out to the EX and was SHOCKED to find this spot under the left front. Turns out it was the quart of oil I stash under the hood, the cap came loose. Had to be payback!




Washed the truck and filled it up with gas, time to park it for the year.

E-man, the worst part is you had such clean concrete inside.

Trans fluid it a couple times, it'll be really clean then.

Spilled some in the garage last summer working on the Chevelle. And by spilled I mean I forgot I had a trans cooler fitting finger tight and sprayed it everywhere. After cleaning it all up, it become the CLEANEST part of the garage

So, the Ex is running fine, knock on wood, but my wife's 09 Edge is throwing codes.

P0018 - Crankshaft Position Camshaft Position Correlation Bank 2 Sensor A
P0021 - "A" Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 2)

All of my reading says that this could be expensive and that it is happening to a fair number of Edges...

Ours will be going to the dealership on Friday

I came home and fired the Ex up, decided since I had a dollar off per gallon for 25 gallons I should go fill the beast up. First 25 gallons was only $1.21!

Then I came home and put the Ex in the garage, I decided i'm gonna drive it tomorrow

BTW one of my personal best MPG this tank!

I fired up my 82 Corvette once after an aluminum rad swap and found out just how fast a 700R4 can spew out its contents. The floor in my garage was never the same. Even after 3 large bags of kitty litter. I thought Chevy fluid stains worse?
