Bought, wrecked, rebuilding a 2009 LMM

[malibu795]

Made a trip to summit racing today, since local performance shops close as 5pm and not open on the weekend.
Also picked up some heat reflective sheath for the transmission cooler return line to replace what on there now

Tallmadge isn't exactly in the neighborhood

That's subjective.. tallmadge is ~2.5hr drive one way from my place..
Also I can start putting them in tomorrow vs have them arrive Thursday/Friday time frame

That’s a poke and right through CBus

Swung by Lowe's at Polaris parkway for a 3/4" pcv cap, was going to grab food a twin peaks, but was way too packed for this introvert

Shit. Polaris parkway is a mad house at all times. I try to avoid there at all cost anymore.

8-830 on a Saturday night isn't exactly "slow" over there

Picked up headlights assemblies Monday, then yesterday ran across a used DPC triple disc on marketplace for $450 new DPC 3BLS is ~1600. Phil says ~650.00 to clean, re-stall with billet stator, another 150 if it needs new clutches.
I really don't need to be spending money on stuff that doesn't actively move the need to get the truck further on the road

I saw that listed, funny because there was a guy in Kirkersville selling the same model brand new for 1k. A customer of mine ended up buying it, I thought it would suck to drive but he claims drives like stock

Think the smart thing currently is to pass on it. 450.00 goes decent way with getting neglected maintenance caught up and the truck closer on the road

Hope this patch leads to back side of the center body mounts will make things a lot easier

 

[malibu795]

Looks like I'm got to get decent at body panel replacement too

 

[malibu795]

Body lift since rockers are shot, chained to seat mounts...
got the middle mounts out DS came pretty easy..
the taped covers did give almost straight access to nut side of the body mount,

Curious to what these two modules are for.. that are under the seats..

 

[2004LB7]

I thought the one under the driver seat was for the airbags and passenger is for the backup parking sensors

The one with the yellow connector is the airbag module. Google says the other one is the yaw sesnor (for stabilitrac).

Interesting. My 08 has the parking sensors module under the front passenger seat

 

[malibu795]

I know the truck has stabilitrac , found out do to the brake line setup

Jason this is bare option WT truck, no parking sensor BS, and a lot of other BS

 

[malibu795]

Had to shim 3 of the 4 vertical door bolts on the fenders, gaps aren't straight but door doesn't catch the fender
