Went to the alignment gods at DRZA today. The Belltech bushings did the trick and he got the alignment about as perfect as can be. The truck is considerably more stable, safer, and the no longer shots in a random direction when I romp it.

Bad news is my AC went out again. I see no leak and it had plenty of pressure, too much pressure actually. The high side was right around 350 but the low side was pegged at 120! It was about 95*out. I'm vacuuming the system the refilling to see what happens as nearly every component is new and I don't know what else to do.

Heres some random undershoot pics of the trucks. Also i borescoped my cats Monday and sure enough they are real.

Well when I was at the alignment shop I convinced him to help me out with my exhaust debacle. He does some crazy nice exhausts like full titanium with pie cuts and other gorgeous stuff, typically not old Tahoe junk. Anyway, I ordered the big ole Gibson dual 3" inlet single 4" out muffler, a Duramax 4" mandrel-bent tailpipe, and a big ole tip for the ladies ;). Hopefully, this will be the final rendition of the exhaust.

Wasted $28 on this dumb under car washer thingy. It's well made but theres no way to keep it going to direction you want it just spins at the QDs.

Gave it a good spray down with the regular pressure washer anyway and noticed the brake master is getting oddly dirty, it must be leaking from somewhere.

Don't like that sprayer? I was thinking of getting that one myself. Home Depot?

Amazon, it's a pretty bad design there's no way to control which direction it goes because it's able to swivel at the QD attachments. It's kinda like trying to push a rope, anyone over 40 should understand :jester:

Also, the way my electric pressure washer works it changes pattern with QD nozzles, well it also somehow changes over to soap lessening the pressure with a different QD nozzle and somehow the sprayer attachment did the same. So all I could get out of it was low pressure and bubbles. Good for an initial soak down but I need moar powa baby.
