Got it back from the dealer with a new passenger airbag inflator. Got an estimate for items I asked for and a few I didn't. Just because I own a Denali doesn't mean I won the lottery, Beaman Buick-GMC Nashville:

Pads and rotors front: $520
Rear : $520
New parking brakes : $681
Driver motor mount : $692
Oil cooler lines : $848
Heater hose connect : $726
Brake Flush : $190

LOL $3500. He did say they would use OEM parts, LMAO, like that's an inducement to take it without lube and no reacharound.

Keeping in mind I just spent $6500 for a rebuilt tranny and new radiator three weeks ago, I told him I'll decline the work.
I just had my drivers side mount replaced at my local GMC dealer along with replacing passenger side lifters. Total was $1800. Motor mount alone was $250. Their shop rate is $85.

Just thinking about making a poor man’s PPV wheels black with the factory silver center caps. Too ghetto?
I dunno, black on black looks pretty cool.

I used plastidip on the center caps.

I love AN fittings.
So pretty. :beer:

How does that hold up?

I have been thinking I need a second set of wheels.
One for off-roading adventures, the other one for road duties/gas mileage.

Steelies would fit the bill.
Otherwise, I'll see if I can find some stock 17's on craigs list or something.

I did the plasidip a couple of months ago so we’ll see on longevity.

I’m really considering plastidipping my rims. I’m not a fan of contrasting silvers… just spray it on? Peel it off whenever you wanna go back to original?
Yeah, clean them well & allow to dry. I've done them on the truck & also taken them off to get the back of the wheel coated better. Both results look good but prefer removing them. If your going to leave them on the truck, take trash bags, split them down the middle and use them to cover the brakes & suspension. Coat the tires in heavy tire shine to help with over spray on the tires. After you've done a couple coats, put the truck in neutral & let it roll about halfway around so you get better coverage on the other side of the wheel. If you remove the wheel start on the back side with 2-3 coats then flip over & do 4-5 coats on the front. Use index cards around the wheel to cover over spray. (attached pic so you see what I mean). Figure about 1.5 cans per wheel to get a really good coat on them.20211031_124310.jpg

Anyone know off the top of their head, the bolt size for the that weird piece of metal that on each side of the hood near the hinges. You have to take one off to get to the negative side of the battery.

Are you talking about the curved bracket?

Its either a 10mm socket (6mm threads) or 13mm socket (8mm threads), but I’m pretty sure it’s a 10mm.
