Time for an oil change. Had about 40ish miles to go til I hit the actual interval I change at which would be 115k. Running synthetic oil I do it every 5k miles and I lucked out and it falls on easy numbers to remember. Lol. Anyways the oil life was showing 16%. I figured I was close enough and I had an hour or so to spare this afternoon when I got home from bootcamp class at my gym. And the next few days are gonna be super hectic. So I decided to just hammer it out. Also pulled my air filter off my intake and cleaned it up. Such an easy process! I’m laughing because junior year of high school my mom made me take a year of auto shop if I wanted to start saving for my own ride and get my license. I absolutely hated it back then, but looking back I’m quite thankful for that because I have the knowledge to be able to do oil changes and the like. And with my DIY personality it works quite well! :D
Anyways truck is all buttoned up now and ready a busy stretch of work this weekend.

So the arms for my wiper blades drive me bananas! They only come up about a couple of inches and don’t stay up on their own because of the way the arm is shaped at the joint where it bends.
It’s beveled so it can’t go all the way up:

But I played with wipers on a 99 silvy that I detailed last week and they go all the way and can stay up on their own because the joint is flat. So when I took a couple pairs of boots down to the high desert yesterday to get resoled, I stopped into the junkyard there that I always go to, and sure enough found a 2002 Yukon that had the arms that go all the way up and I swiped them. And they fit my truck. I sanded them down this morning and I’m about to spray them gloss black so they’ll look fresh when I put them on my truck:
