Had to drive an hour yesterday and replace the water pump on my suburban. Wife took my two kids, her best friend and her THREE kids to the zoo so I had to haul ass cause it was hot yesterday. Me and my brother knocked it out in a little over an hour in a gas station parking lot. Used an advance auto coupon and saved $40! Needless to say it was pretty easy and the girls made us sammiches while we worked. Kinda sucked though cause I just got the trans rebuilt a few weeks back and just finished replacing the AC orifice tube, expansion valve, dryer etc. At least my truck shifts great now, engine runs normal and the AC freezes me out! Guess its just one of those things with a 16 year old truck.

That sucks to hear. Sounds like everyone this summer is already having big problems with their NBS Chevy's or GMC. Were there any indicators that your water pump is going out?

mine went out a month ago. Indicator? Low coolant. Topped it off. Low coolant again.

Temps were fine. Small leak became a bigger leak. Was weeping from the pump. Parked it until I could change it. Was certainly not as difficult as I had feared.

Just bought a 2004 GMC Denali AWD for $3800 cdn. Had to buy something after losing my job and house.. and hemi... anyway, its a good truck. bit of surface rust over the rear wheels and inside the bottom lip of the tail gate.
It's silver birch metallic, really like the color. Sports a 6.0L and I've spent all of my free time looking up new headlights and upgrades.
I just spent $1000 on new brakes, calipers, pads.... nice and shiny! Still feels a tad bit spongy so I'll bleed them yet again...
Also spent 5 hours scrubbing and washing the interior. I don't know why I love this thing so much... its old... my last 3 cars were all new off the lot with double digit odometer readings. This thing has 270,000KM on it, lol....

next week I'll take it for a full tune up as the exhaust smells a bit rich. plugs, wires, all fluids flushed... now I'm looking to replace the DVD system too....

A lot of $$ for brakes. Did you upgrade to the NNBS front disks?

How much drop is that and are you running Goodyear 275-55-20 tires?

Well here's what I got to deal with yesterday, pothole patch decided it liked my tire better than the the hole they filled. So ended up having to get a new tire. Glad I got the road hazard, paid for itself in one claim.

everything costs more in Canada, I just bought normal replacement parts from partsource.
OH, and discs too, forgot to mention that. I basically replaced everything brake related.


I'll get some photos later... haven't been this excited to own a vehicle since my 01' jeep

Low coolant light. Topped it off. Wife said she was about a mile from the exit and the temps shot up. She let it cool down dumped a bunch of water in it and made it to the zoo but heated up again. Looked liked it was leaking from the shaft of the water pump. Actually an easy fix. Just had memories of my 5.0 f150 that had around 8 different sized bolts and one broke when I torqued it. I was afraid the whole time one of the bolts was gonna snap.
