This is a dorman OEM style replacement from a local part store.

Thank you 😎

I hope it helps 😎

Thanks, glad to help 😎

Thank you, I hope it was helpful.

@@3Wheels1Block ...I receive my crossbars today! Ty

@JMD535 excellent! I'm glad that you found some 😎

I removed the factory rubber boot and used a 3/8-16 x 1/2" bolt, that allowed easier access and more contact room. You can also get a bolt extension or add a circuit at your local parts store.

@ I tried to do that but it blew my starter fuse, it kept trying to start the car without the key even being in the ignition. It kept making clicking noises and turning the headlights/fog lights on. I talked to my mechanic friend but he was also stumped as well, not really sure what to do from here now…

@johnflynn8363 interesting... Are you using a harness to install your light bar?

@ yes I am, I bought a 21” light bar from nilight that included everything, it freaked me out that it kept trying to start on its own though

@johnflynn8363 that is odd, did you ensure that the positive terminal (red) is connected to the red part of the harness. And that it is not making any contact with the chassis or engine bay? If it is not I would say that what is happening is the relay is mis-wired. This will back feed current from the positive battery terminal starter wire, also causing a back feed through the circuit. It most definitely sounds like a short to ground. You can directly connect the light bar to the battery to test and make sure it's not the light bar. I would suspect a fault or mis-wired relay.

This has a higher solids content than glamour clear. So you get more depth and richness in color.

Thank you I'm using metrix now it's good but it's 350 a gallon

@davemcaferty6347 absolutely, I think you will be happy with the speedokotes line.

The one inside or outside 😅

Good question, at a minimum if you don't have jacks, I would use some drive on ramps, you will need to slide under the car to access the drain plug. While a lift is not required it can make work easier.

This product is ready to spray.

Thanks 😎

Thanks! If you are talking about replacement parts and paint you could be looking between $3500-$5000 unfortunately. Typically the older vehicles need a complete paint job in order to match the color, due to the age of the paint.

😅 sound like you got an upgrade

I'm glad that this helped out! Thanks for leaving a comment 😎

I agree, it is pretty involved for a grille swap, but whatever makes the wife happy right 😂. It's a heck of a lot easier than a transmission or fuel pump replacement.

Not sure I own or would own anything with aluminum knuckles 😅

Great tip! I'm glad that this method works, thanks for sharing😎

I recently found out about one of those, it looks like a great tool😎

@3Wheels1Block I was a little sceptical when I first saw it, and was concerned about damaging anything on the vehicle. However I changed 4 hub and bearing assembly's on my 2013 Chrysler 200 without issues. 3 out of 4 came off with one good smack, the 4th one took 2-3 good smacks, but when it broke loose I thought to myself, worth every penny 😁

@@willyg9759 that sounds like a great tool 😎

Great question! It totally depends on what step you are on and which primer you use. I've used epoxy as a base and then 2 part acrylic over top to do boy work. I have also used epoxy before base coat after bodywork

@ i gotcha so it sounds like it can be either or

It does, it depends on the product, speedokotes epoxy allows some light sanding(320/400 or red scuff pad), where as finish one will not tolerate any sanding.

@@3Wheels1Block I gotcha I just ordered some speedokote epoxy today so I’ll see what it does for me on that Camaro which direction did you do with the speedokote epoxy did you do body work on top of the speedokote

@mississippiwrenches295 if you have a lot of bodywork, epoxy first

It's a combination of older laquer primer and rust 😅

You will have to check the TDS (technical data sheet) for your particular paint.

Yes this works with hardener the same way.

You're welcome, glad to help 😎

I patched the inner arches, but didn't replace them fully.

@ thanks! I want to do that too, and the rear wheel wells but there is a fair bit of rot and can’t find any reproduction for my 91 r1500 burb.

@joel4506 you can use long bed or short bed wheel arches to make the repairs as well. Good luck

Thanks, glad to help 😎

Thanks 😎

Glad to help! Thanks for sharing the good news!

I agree

You can remove the wheel stud by tapping it out with a hammer.

Yikes, what year Escalade?

Glad they worked out for you 😎

Thank you! I hope this helps.

Thank you

This definitely beats laying in the snow. 👍🏾

You bet 😎
