I had to replace the tires on the Suburban about a month ago. I am actually surprised that we didn't have a problem with the old tires considering that when we bought it in Nov 2014, we knew that we needed tires just never got around to it. Oil change this week and maybe a radiator flush to get ready for the summer.
Now the 2008 Toyota needs some tires. Only 52,000 miles on them, but they are the original and have a little bit of wear, mostly highway miles. I have to get these things done before I bring my car home, that way I can spend my money on front end parts for my car. lol Now I just have to tell hubby that.

And my AC is now blowing hot air, just in time for the summer.
I changed the cabin filters Saturday, holy cow. I don't think anyone ever changed them. Going to throw in some R134 with stop leak to see if I can band aid it and make it last a little longer.

Dug out my LQ4/80E from my old truck, changed the camshaft. Started to change the valvesprings... interference with the factory valve seals. Made a phone call, the parts I need are on the way.
Installed a Jeep GC box in the 67' C10 this morning. The Trans Am box in the the truck was leaking.

Well I'll be damned if the torque converter in my freshly rebuilt transmission stopped locking up.
![]() Time to pull this thing apart. I swear it wants the engine and transmission swap.
