Good work. When I did my Silverado interior which included the console lid, I bought a special air stapler that shot 5/32” long staples so I could staple to the thin plastic without shooting through the other side. That stuff is definitely a PIA!
Where did u get it? Do u remember a model or something to identify it. I could't find anything alike. I have amanual stapler, but the staples are too large for this application

I got one off Amazon. I returned it after I used it, I only shot a few staples so it was still new imo. I forgot where I ordered the staples from, it was something like staple depot. I know it says 1/4-5/8 staples but it shot the super short ones too, I just bought the Senco c series staples.

Water pump, thermostat and fan clutch in. I have heat now!

Now to figure out why I get a pop from the front left area when turning left only when it's damp or raining. Quiet as a mouse when not wet.

Welp, drove it to move my daughter out of her dorm and when we got back I checked the coolant level. It was way low. Crap. I knew what that meant. Pulled the covers and found this. Looks like it is new heads and sludge cleaning time. Haven't pulled the rockers to see but since they're 706's I'm betting on Castech. It's been sitting since that drive a few weeks ago. Since I'm working from home for the month, I'll have time to replace on my own.

Replaced the rear left side lock actuator ( used AC Delco ) last Sunday. I was surprised how easy it was. I think it may have taken 40 minutes. I could probably shave off 10 minutes if I had to do it again. Was amazed how easy it was to remove the door card.

Nbs trucks/SUV’s are like legos. So easy to pull apart
