That is one clean obs! Makes me miss my old 95 k1500
A 33 year old truck with only 129k miles on it. Averaging less than 4k miles a year. The 700R4 transmission has been replaced at a Chevy dealership about 20k ago. Lots of repair and maintenance records. My girl keeps great records.

Yesterday, the nice old lady next door came knocking and asked if I could look at her 2020 Corolla Hybrid. The engine would not turn over. Found 6.5 volts at the battery. Found headlight switch was left on overnight. Charged it up and got it running. Her and the daughter were there and they ended up going to get a new battery installed. I was talking to the daughter and they had been headed to an auto shop to get brakes looked at and an oil leak, on her 2017 Cherokee V6. I told her I could do that. She came back after 6 pm and dropped for me to look at this morning.

Found that the brakes, front and rear, were at about 50% on bonded pads and wearing even. Her complaint was squeaky brakes first thing in morning. Around here we get lots of rain and moisture gathers on rotors and causes squeaks till brakes heat up.

Found that the 3.2 V6 oil filter/cooler assembly is leaking oil. Common problem. When I looked at the oil level yesterday, she was 3 quarts low and I added. Had a P06DD DTC code in the vehicle. Has to do with oil pressure....etc. I am now going to order parts from RA and fix that vehicle. I will do a post about it and pics when I do it. I did the same cooler on a Jeep V6 about 7-8 months ago.
