Forgot to mention I did a thermostat too. Took 3 gallons of 50/50 Dexcool.

Next up is at least one wheel bearing. I can hear it with the radio off but it’s not too loud. Should make the trip this weekend but needs to be replaced sooner than later. I am thinking on doing the pair.

Current mileage is 112,198.

My Timken bearings arrived. Nice parts and made in USA. Will get them installed within the next week here.

Learned I can’t find my front struts.
AC #580416 or GM# 22853793

RA only has one and I can’t find them anywhere else.
Suspension codes 6WZ and 7WZ

I don’t need them now but…

@915_Tahoe does 22853793 supersede to another number? backordered?

Thank you so much!

Wheel bearing change was uneventful.

Rolls smooth and quiet again. I didn’t realize how loud those bearings were.

My cheapo Raybestos front rotors are warped AGAIN

I need to decide on some front brakes. I am tossing between the Powerstop z36 pad and rotor set:

Just a little unsure if I want to go to semi-metallic pads. I know they have good stopping power but make more dust. I have usually always ran semi metallic for the stopping power but am considering if I want to do the extra wheel cleaning.

I am open to hear experiences. Feel free to provide suggestions as well.
