Delco oil pressure sending unit came in -- need to install over the weekend and hope that fixes my oil leak.

Some Zaino (yes, i'm old school) stuff for the leather came in too. Love the way that stuff smells!
Need to do mine.

I used these :
Qty (4) StrongArm Chevrolet... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016N6XBIW?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I like www.liftsupportsdepot.com too. You can search by vehicle or spec them out of your want to get stronger ones, etc.

Thx I used your previous post about that site and the Strong Arms.

Not too strong as I saw some reviewers were moaning they were too tight and sprung the glass up.

I’m guessing being new vs. when they don’t work properly was throwing them off. Literally. Lol

Looking at rear lift glass struts.

Have seen $20-$30 range all brands. Strong Arm seems to be popular.

What have you guys used for a replacement?
Was at the salvage yard looking at parts and remembered my struts were out so I just grabbed some used ones ,for $5 a pop ,till I found quality new ones online. Put the used ones in from the salvage yard and they lifted like brand new. Still holding strong, that was 2 years ago. Idk maybe I got lucky.

I looked the other day. Found a out that were tight. Looked up the model number and they said they were for a Toyota Sienna.

I passed as I could not confirm their actual fitment although they held that lift glass up very well.

Then I inspected closer and found some rust so it made me feel better to pass.

Might just suck up be full cost and get some new ones and be done with it. The squeaky glass is driving me nuts!

I used the stock sizes. The liftgate is OK. It does go all the way up on its own. Could maybe be a touch stronger, but they're fine. The glass ones are more than strong enough.

Finally put together a video explaining how we installed the custom "pocket style" flares.


Awesome job on the flares. So the front fit and the rear fit except for the doors.
Question, so I would not need to alter them for my Yukon XL?
You only had to alter them for the rear door?

I left you a pic of that wild horse laid out in the dirt ... right where it should be.

Saw a live one today and he was ******** on the road.

Plus his right side exhaust was not equal to his left side. It is not a mundane serial Michael!!

But he had a GT!! Lol

Got the spindles on last night. Turns out my I need all ball joints replaced. I’ll do those and toe rod ends before alignment. Set the toe to get me by for now. Track width is wider up front so I’ll have to get spacers for the rear also. Very happy with it over all8f89082227e96a29975c246ff8f86962.jpg252f4ca7b11d2c04b56fa592feccce19.jpg6c3b00a0cf0546405759ad478076cf19.jpg
