    Changed the oil and filter myself for the first time, pretty easy! I rotated the tires and installed the these for new fog light bulbs, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and so much brighter.

    Just finished changing the differential fluid, changed the engine oil, dropped the trans pan and changed the filter to a wide mouth and put the Camaro pan on and filled it back up with AC Delco transmission fluid. All in all, it was all pretty easy. The plugs in the differential were hard to get off since they have never been off. I made sure I got the fill plug loose before I messed with the drain plug. It would have been bad if I drained it and then couldn't get the fill plug off. The worse part of the transmission service was pumping the fluid back in it. I had to pump it in with all quart bottles and it got pretty tiresome. I rotated the tires while I had it up and did the tpms relearn. I am done for the day.

    Let see, today I adjusted the headlight on passenger side was a little low, cut off the splash guards(the things that hang down underneath) to see if that is what is making the scraping noise when I hit a dip in the road!
    fished out the cap that protects the bulb and that fell down so had to undo the fender liner, took right front tire off again to get to that and re torqued the lugs, so no wheel about to fall off, did I say I did that, opps, lmao

    With the Ultra Penzoil the engine seems to be a lot quieter and added the BG MOA

    Hooked the battery up and started it for the first time since the end of September. Backed it out of the shop so i could put the Silverado HD on the lift and do the front brakes.
