New mirror glass a few mins ago.
Got lucky and advance auto only had the drivers side in stock. $8. Some say they're universal?
Anyway, the factory had about a gallon of silicone on the old one, so I siliconed the new one in the same fashion to keep it as original as possible. :D
(plus, the double sided tape that came with it was a fukin joke)

Stfu, man, I'm old. :D

The funniest part is that I went out to get "real" shoes and they were an afterthought extra pair. They were on sale for $18 and I was like **** it...... they'd be nice around the house and stuff.
I liked them so much I bought 4 more pairs and kept them in the closet until I needed them. I've worn almost nothing but these for like 3yrs. LOL....

Went to discount tire today for routine rotate and balance. They discovered left front tire was separating. I saw it and I was very nervous about it. I have noticed a strange feeling in the front as if there was an issue but didn't think about tire. I purchased 4 new tires in August 2015. Little did I know that, at that time, 2 were already 3 years old and 2 were 2 years old when purchased. Man was I pissed. I didn't think about tire production code when I got them. Got 2 new today to replace the now 7 year old tires. I will never ever buy tires again without checking production date. The 2 I got today both have codes of 1619. Left the 6 year old tires on front. After thinking more, I am going back Monday and get 2 more new ones. Do not feel comfortable with them on truck anymore.

New mechanical fuel pump, added glass filter before pump, still ran like poo.
Pulled dizzy cap, cleaned up contacts. Pulled rotor, cleaned and checked for vac advance...no move.
Got pliers, made it move.
Got vac pump, advance moves fine now.
Slapped it back together, spun tires. Runs like a scalded dog.
Life is improving.

Did they put power window motors in doors before the outer skin went on?
How the heck do you get it out? More Googleing in store.

Id be careful with that glass filter... they like to leak at the rubber and cause fires...

They are really not that hard. I looked where @Old77 did the ones on his suburban and followed suit. Drop the windows just enough so there is no pressure, then undo 4 bolts holding the regulator in and slide the rollers out of the tracks then wiggle the whole thing out. I went back with both new motors and regulators in mine. Probably took me 1 1/2 to 2 hours per door to remove everything and then reassemble.

Yep, that's about right. Not nearly as hard as I thought, but they need to come through the hole where the door handle is. It takes some patience and getting the angles right, but not too bad.

Yep and after thinking I believe I had to undo the rod that attaches to the interior handle.

Yep, taking that handle off makes it a lot easier. Once you know the combo it’s not too bad. The rear doors are even more fun especially when it comes to changing out the exterior door handles :rolleyes:
