Speaking of Trailblazer's, forgot to post that we got my dad's running again.
Had a collapsed lifter, that was fun.
Now just needs some new tires and figure out what is the issue with that POS 4L60E.

Went to court on Monday.
Got there almost 90 minutes early, just to be the first one up to the stand and done in 3 minutes.
Set it for trial, no clue when that'll be.

Been lazy as s**t with SEMA photos lately.
Got another one done today but still about 140+ to go through.

Haven't done much today, going to go for a drive here in about an hour.
Was supposed to go get some Camino parts today, but pushed it back to tomorrow.




11:30p - Screw that, it's 47° outside. No walk, no drive.
Also, just received my passing notice from the exam I took a few days ago.

What kindof bad noises?
It's this high pitched whirring sound that's connected to engine rpm. At first I just thought it was the cold weather making the engine work harder to warm up, but now the sound persists even after the car's been running for a while. I'm starting to think it's a pulley going bad somewhere.

My guess would be alternator or water pump

Im working out in Oklahoma now. Definitely a nice place to spend the winter. Sounds like I’ll be back in Pennsylvania/Ohio again soon.

Thanks, that makes sense.

I opened the hood just now and listened to it, and can't for the life of me pinpoint where the sound is coming from.. It just emanates from the entire engine bay. I guess the next thing is to pull those belts and see if any of the pulleys are wobbly.

That’s what I’m thinking but the ss is quite a bit cheaper

I’m still stuck. The aftermarket isn’t too bad, But I️t does cost a little bit more. A built trans is 5k instead of 3k. I️ have no clue wtf I’m doing. I️ just know I️ gotta be faster than her x5m in the garage

Do yourself a favor and go to harbor freight, get a mechanics stethoscope. Makes life much easier

I’ll have to see what pops up, I’ll probably go srt8 since I’ve always liked them. Eh I’d get walked hard at 480 crank. X5m stock is 555 crank and I️t may be getting catless downpipes and a tune here soon so that will be closer to 550whp. Somehow the woman has all the fast stuff
