Re: Easy Greasy - Rescuing a Silverado from Tweakers.

Had a productive day yesterday.

Tore down the steering column and fixed the issue with the steering park lockout not engaging, installed the hi/low beam selector arm that I forgot to put in when I changed the steering wheel and attached the horn.

Found that the oil leak that was marking up the driveway was a pinhole in the dipstick tube and repaired that. Put in a new battery and changed the plugs of unknown vintage.

When I lowered it there was an intermittent scraping noise that I couldn't pinpoint- I found that the driveshaft was rubbing against one of the muffler brackets when going over a bump so I moved that as well.

Pulled the AC, heater, smog components and a million dead-end wires, trying to clean the engine bay up a bit. Yanked out the hood insulation that was falling apart and got the AC cooler from in front of the radiator. Replaced the busted vent window on the driver's side and rubbed everything down with linseed oil.

Not bad for a Friday off work.
