    More stereo work here too. Just got done installing new speakers, JVC HU and ASWC on my brothers 01 GPGT. ASWC gave me some issues but I figured it out and everything appears to be working finally. Just re-affirmed my hatred for wiring, lol.

    Stereo work for everyone! I've got a Bluetooth head unit to put in the truck, it's nothing fancy but I need some form of music for a 40+ mile drive to work.

    2 weeks ago changed a rear caliper ( ? leaking from the inboard side ? ) Today installed a new CV axle on the drivers side. Not bad, under 1 hour.
    For the record : I am NOT a naked meth-head who shoves rocks up my butt.

    That's a good time on that CV axle, cheetah. Hoping my drivers axle holds out a bit longer. Just started to get a "pop" when I shift to reverse.

    Thanks, man. Good floor jack, corded electric impact gun and correct hub sockets on hand helped things go smooth. 5 lugs, 2 strut nuts & the hub nut, "bing bang boom". Inner joint popped out the tranny with 2 grunts. lol.

    That reminds me, I gotta get/make an attachment for my giant slide hammer so I can pull axles easier. I remember changing the drivers side on mine once and I almost couldn't get it to pop out with the prybar.

    Got around to installing the new radiator today. Still working the air out of the system since it's been low for so long.

    Also cleaned up the low coolant sensor and plugged it back in for the first time in 5 years. Looks like it's actually working properly still. Still messing with the temp gauge though. Looks like the harness section might be toast finally and have to replace that too in the near future since the dash gauge hasn't been moving at all lately.

    replaced thermostat w/ 180° and new air filter.
    I also found what looked like paper pulp jammed up into the radiator cap which causes some concern that the radiator could be partially plugged..

    Sounds like someone added a "stop leak" product previously. ....

    Dusted the dash, cleaned the windshield and polished the exhaust tips. Gotta love having 15 spare minutes. LOL

    I cleaned a carpet.

    2019-03-11_09-01-29 by Ben Stryker, on Flickr

    It still looks like crap, but it's 1,000% better than when I got the truck. That was disgusting.

    But the carpet is back in the truck, the blower housing has been taken apart and cleaned, the heater box and A/C evaporator housing have been cleaned because I'm not gonna risk damaging either of those cores or the lines going to them. I fixed the leaky heater valve, turns out it was just a buildup of corrosion under the rubber hose. I'll post more pictures later.

    Next step is to get the dash back in the truck and reconnect everything.

    21K, it's that less than 10% of what Regal had on it when you bought that? Sweet looking car, headers and camming is SOOOOO easy.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
