I spent last evening doing the driver's door window regulator. Looks like tonight will be the passenger door. Can't complain too much, the 2004 ZHP has 110K miles on it and these were the first regulators to go. I was probably living on borrowed time.
Saturday, I replaced the waterpump and thermostat. I have been having temp issues for a while now, with temperatures dipping down periodically. I originally thought it the sensor, and DW kindly sent me a replacement. I did find that the old sensor may be fine, but the o-ring was shot. So, thermostat and waterpump went in with absolutely no issues. As well, I replaced the transmission fluid. Old fluid was brown and burned, so I definitely waited a bit long. I wanted to do the rear diff fluid as well, but I didn't have a 14 mm hex on hand at the time.
Sunday, I replaced the front tires, finally. The old set were getting down to the cords, so it was about time. Only thing I have left to do now is replace the passenger foglamp. It's been busted for a bit now and looks crappy. I'll get to it eventually.
I am keeping my ZHP on a healthy diet, high in fiber... :shifty Orders have been placed...
Sounds like so much fun! Need to put that on my to do list!Quote:

Removed engine covers and wrapped a few areas with Di-NOC 3M gloss CF vinyl and painted the raised areas of the oil cap

DW, Were you able to get that one stuck O2 sensor loose?? If so, what was the solution that worked??

This would have been the hole in the bumper

I will then use an "L" shaped adaptor similar to this, but incorporating the ball mount - so still only one receiver/tongue joint - should still be rated Class III and 6000lbs pull and 600lbs tongue
