Default the project

So since the last couple of days i have been busy working on the truck. it all started with the drive shaft u-joints long story i ran around and no shop had time to remove them so i went about doing it myself. the we had to measure and order the same aftermarket u-joints. since i couldnt drive the truck anyways i fiquered i could swap out the rad, which i had gotten a almost new one from my buddys truck which he had blown the trans, got new hoses the when i went out to change the thermostat snap a bolt of in the intake manifold,long story short can get the snapped bolt out so here i am replacing the intake. TBI Intake which are expensive , but the drive shaft is in know with new u-joints

Need to fix mine; a pretensioner code set for the r/f seat. Good timing as I only have 1 more week to access the sir load tools. Leaving gm at the end of the week. Its been a great place to work. I will miss it.

made my own SIR load tool for under $1. disconnected the r/f seat pretentioner connector and plugged in the load tool. Air bag light went off so the pretentioner is bad Quote for a new pretentioner; $210 plus tax new...went to picknpull..$6.85
plugged it in...all good.
