Put a new Delco blower resistor in my 95, nice to have all the fan speeds now.
Then spent some time at the local u-pull-it.
Got two big trans coolers off some full-size Ford trucks for $12 a piece. My plan is to get one mounted up for each van. I grabbed a couple of those dash switches for the 00, mine work but are kind of sloppy feeling and the light is out on the AC switch. They're $64 a piece at my local Chevy dealer

I've heard of say taking a nice set of rims off for the winter, but pulling the motor out for the winter is a new one for me.
wtf Sanja.

The 90 CL has been off the road for almost a year & had the V-8 in it.
I pulled it out to clean it up this winter & have it ready by spring,then install it
into the RS.

Did an oil change, checked the front diff fluid level, rear diff fluid level, and am thinking I should run out and get 2 liters of Auto-Trak 2 - GM part #12378508 - and just change the T-Case oil. Thought I'd include the part number for people who search in the future.

put antifreeze in the system, as much as I could without the engine running anyways, at least it's in there so the freeze plugs won't pop out on me, replaced the radiator cap, and took out the ugly, home built shelves from the previous owner...

Grumpy: Took it to Firestone for a free pre-alignment inspection. I was expecting a whole laundry list of front end parts that needed to be replaced before they could do an alignment, but to my surprise the only thing they noted was despite being cracked and dry rotted the control arm bushing were still functional.
They say the pulling to the left during hard braking is due to the right front brake not grabbing as hard as it should. I'll be flushing the brake lines and inspecting the brake hardware to see it I can't get it to balance out.
Green: 15 minutes of idle.
