Thank you! Can't wait till he's old enough to understand & hopefully take interest in the same passion, but I look forward to enjoying these baby years as I know they won't last long.
Been driving the Tahoe daily lately. I started a new job, & it's doing duty as my only transportation right now. Just hoping I can get enough time to do some smaller projects that have been getting put off for quite some time.
Before the new job, I was doing more trimming on the lower control arms. I had my wife turning the wheels side-to-side while I looked underneath for rubbing. As I looked at the passenger side, I happened to notice some coolant dripping down the frame onto the control arm. Upon further inspection, I found the culprit to be a leaky water shut-off valve (at least that's what Rock Auto calls it). That explains why my coolant overflow tank kept slowly leaking down. I found a replacement through the local O'reilly Auto & decided to just buy it there. While I was in there, I decided to go ahead & replace the short lengths of heater hose from the firewall to the valve, as well as the vacuum tubing to the valve. After replacing the valve, all is well. Since I had to remove the air intake tubing/air filter box, I also went ahead & did a needed cleaning & re-oiling of my K&N filter.
