These are my goto O2 sensor tools. Sidenote.. The picks are just an overall necessity IMO for many other areas of the vehicle. I use the body panel tool to remove the O2 sensor connector from... -

I've had bad luck with sensor sockets, which are 7/8". They are just a little loose on the hex and strips them if it's stuck bad. I've had great success with using a deep 21mm deep impact socket...

Use this tool with a 3/8 breaker bar. I would soak the sensor threads with PB blaster the night before. Before you remove the sensor, I usually start the engine and let it run for about 1-2...

That's what happens when quick-lube places hire The Hulk, which is why I never go there.

How not to install an oil filter. Recently acquired a 2008 TB LS and doing routine maintenance, not knowing any recent history. I've done a bazillion oil changes and never ran into this tight of... -

Yeah there's a little bit of meat left on the stud, and I did initially consider that option until I saw how the hole in the actuator was keyed. The weight of the door makes it fall when...

Yesterday, we just came back from North Bay from our son's wedding on Saturday. It was in a barn venue which made it really nice. Even though they have been together for 9 years and have already...

While our 2006 LT is seeingnits age and has some issues (body rust, abs module failed and AIR pump removed) it runs and drives like a champ. Both kids came home from the hospital in it. My...

Smart move keeping the Trailblazer over the Ford Escape. Linda's 2002 Trailblazer, my girl, is comfortable enough that if I ever did not have my 2005 Tahoe Z71, I would get a Trailblazer. Even...

Lots on the go around here. So, my youngest daughter got her license 2 weeks ago. Passed her first try but with a few deductions. She's pretty happy to say the least. I'm prepping the 2004...

Its been a slow week. I took last Friday off, and this week to unplug from work and try to have some fun. Last Friday went to the beach, with the plan to do the same a couple of times this week...

Went to hit the couch for a nap earlier today and found this little guy beneath one of the pillows. It is a bark scorpion and they have one hell of a nasty sting; not fatal (unless you are...

Sadly I had to let my 2006 Trailblazer go. I was wanting to rebuild it but haven't had the time or money to do an engine and transmission rebuild. https://www.facebook.com/reel/4230512607278798

Yea, "GMT" covers a large range of vehicles/trucks. My girl, Linda, owns a 2002 78k miles GMT360 Trailblazer and I own a GMT800 2005 Tahoe Z71. That is the newest I would own. I belong to a forum...

Hi all I had that dreaded rumbling “wind noise” sound which started at 25mph… it got quiet turning/banking left and stayed loud when turning/banking right at speed so I narrowed down to the driver...

There are no savings as you have to open up the diff to remove the axle so you lose all your fluid anyway. Might as well do the other. Any 75w90 synthetic axle lube will work. Not sure if...

With Linda's TB being a 2002 and at 78k miles, gonna keep it a very long time, especially since there is absolutely no/none, I repeat, no rust. It is even comfortable enough for my 6'4" tall and...
