little update on what's been going on.
The Yukon is in the garage for a little service and upgrade time. No major upgrades, but probably going to go through some major service and repairs
First upgrade is creature comfort. When we moved from Colorado I listened to the speaker on my cell phone the whole trip. This is because I had replaced a burnt out aftermarket head unit with a 2002 CD player that would go mute randomly and then randomly come back on at full volume. So I have been piecing together enough parts to build a factory tape player like it originally had: but with a twist. the internet has a few how to's on hooking up an aux jack, so I put my own twist on it for version 1.0. the 1/8" jack is in the mail, so more to come on that. I am going to tie into the factory auxiliary jack for a cleaner look rather than the jack being on the face plate or (even though it will be unseen) an extra harness out the back.
I added a Vortec oil fill neck also. Less messy
I have a few coolant leaks to take care of. One is my heater valve, which is something that I guess is unique to the 2 door SUV's. I'd like to retain it, but this is the second one that has started leaking. And then the notorious heater hose quick disconnect...
