I have created, yet, but another mess!
...when the fan in the air handler in my house decided to catch fire.
Please forgive me guy but.... what are these hoses you are replacing done? Looks like coolant hoses going into the firewall? What does it do? Why is it just a cheap plastic clip? Does my duramax have these things? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I never understood why they needed a QD on a heater hose that gets changed every 10 years. Been a long time but I think I just slid mine over the heater outlet nipple and used a clamp. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
They're the quick connects for the heater core. On the Tahoe/suburban types with rear heater, they are tees instead of just one connection. Pretty sure the dmax has them up to 2010 , but can't remember for sure.Faster assembly at the plant Charles. All about the dollar.
I would take a guess and say it actually is about $1 per vehicle. That doesn't seem like a lot but when you build 1 million vehicles in a year it adds up to $1,000,0000 per year. You would be surprised how many times you can validate spending thousands of dollars on testing to save $.05 per piece.
Are you going to use Deaver on the rear spring?And do you have a drainage issue with your driveway, looks like it drains into your garage!

I remember when Ford came up with using quick connects on every a/c line connection back in the 80's. Sure kept me busy...actually still keeps me busy to this day.Don, that's just the way those calipers are sometimes. Using a torch to free the Loctite helps, along with a long breaker to get them loose before hitting with an impact. Those china sockets don't like the ratta tat tat on something that tight.
That's one heck of a puzzle you have there Bear. I dare you to send it like that to Don.
I think I felt "A tremor in the force" yesterday. While I was under the truck tearing off the suspension, I had this strong desire to continue and tear off the bumper as well...Now I know why!Bear: Looks well, puzzling! Please show the construction of all that on this thread as we see the stack of flats transform into a combat ready, Prius killin' bumpa... ;-))
If you do end up documenting those 2 bumper builds (I know, you have your hands full as it is), I would guess everyone on here would appreciate it. I would start a thread just for that tho. ...you think Don? or keep it in here?
Just take lots of pics, then edit and write with the work done.No square body stuff if I recall? My sub needs help.
