@Rocket Man why the angry reaction? Gotta take care of the kids and animals before the truck gets any love (even though I want to be selfish and fix it above all else lol)

I’m angry you couldn’t find the plastic ones and now you have to look at rust for a year. I understand the priorities thing 100%.

Oil change today at 215,430k. About 3-3.5oz in the catch can after a 3,200 mile interval.
03981301-E8B1-4120-910B-DA5DB9A0E9D7.jpeg Replaced with AC Delco full synthetic, and the Wix extended filter (51522XP). While I was at the shop, told my buddy how she’s been making a clunking noise from the drinker side, front when I go over speed bumps, and a few other times driving (I go very slowly over, but another 1-2 mph, and she clunks…) so we found after the UCA & lower ball joint was done, and I had it aligned, one of the UCA bolts was pretty damn loose. We tightened up all, on both sides to super-gutentight spec, and not only is the clunk gone, but also the squeak under extension in the driver side I’ve been chasing for like 2 years..! Wahoo!
Got home and finally decided to pull the drinker side mirror, as the led arrow went out a while back. This is an aftermarket mirror, so figured it was just a pos.. well, last week, after washing her, the led started working again, so I knew it was corrosion, or some other wiring issue. I tested the light, and determined it was in the connector, then saw the corrosion when I pulled the plug, on the aftermarket side of course.
So I decided to scrape it off with a pick, and clean with QD spray, as I couldn’t really get a wire brush in there. Finished with some dielectric grease, and she’s good to go.

I was pretty proud of myself, and then about 2 miles down the road, it stopped working again. oh well, the replacement was already here, so I swapped it out. It was a better quality part than the previous one anyway. I also managed to crack and break the mirror, pulling it off the second time. Oh well. All set again..

Also discovered today that the “Gorrilla” wheel locks I like a lot don’t really make a lot of contact in / on the wheel, even though they are the correct, conical style. So I went looking for the proper wheel lock set for the ‘15 GMC wheels I have.. part: 84488348 for the GM OEM / GM Performance part. Looked on Summit Racing, and almost dropped the $80 on that, until I saw it wouldn’t ship until mid-November.. Ebay seller has the genuine, new part for $30.37 shipped. Hell yeah! Hopefully it’s the real deal. Any tips how to verify are welcome. 53AF646C-42AF-44C3-B268-72802E64DD81.png

Just copying one of my favorite youtubers, Derek from VGG. The passenger side is the drinker side.
You must have gone back and edited your post because I swear you called one side the drunker side but it’s not there now. Anyway funny stuff. :cool:
