    Bleeders seized up on two old front calipers, what now?

    I replaced the two rear calipers and bled them successfully, but the two old fronts have seized up bleeders. Front brakes were OK and functioning before I started working on it. Is it likely to be OK or do I really need to get them undone and complete the procedure? Note: one of the rear...

    Seatbelts - all same? Same in same row? Or same on same side?

    My driver's front seatbelt is getting a little tired and SHARP, it keeps chewing up shirts and sweaters and even giving me paper cuts.

    It rained a lot...and I somehow have water sloshing INSIDE my driver side doors???

    I pulled the bump stops at the bottom out and a steady stream of water came out like from a tap. Not a trickle but like several liters. How is it getting in there and what do I do so it doesn't next time?

    Bumper: Is this stripped enough to prime?

    Anyone have experience repainting plastic bumpers CORRECTLY? Please advise, are the main surfaces this more or less ready and just needs a pressure wash, or do I need to obliterate every trace of whitish residue even where it sits flat? The plan is Duplicolor Primer + Duplicolor + SprayMax...

    Fuse size?

    The ones in the passenger footwell box. What's that size named? I'm a dumba$$ who already bought the wrong ones once, so I figured it was about time to ask. I don't feel like driving anywhere so this time around I want to order online, so "just pull and show" won't work (and I actually THOUGHT...

    What paint strippers work on plastic bumper covers in 2021?

    I was doing a bit of research and it seems the old reliable chemical formulas got banned last year. Anyone use a new store-bought product to strip paint off plastic parts in 2021 successfully? What worked? Thx

    Right headlight out, no power to it (it's not the bulb)

    2009 3rd gen SSV What can it be? Is there a separate fuse to it or any additional connections to check, or is it most probably a busted connection at the end by the bulb? Also, if there is some complicated bs somewhere, can I just splice the power connection to the working left headlight, or...

    Good paint stripper for removing cracked/peeling spray paint without damaging plastic bumper?

    I have peeling DIY spray paint on my bumper (Rustoleum or something iirc). I don't want to sand it since I think I'll just mess it up. I heard chemicals are the way to go. What are my options here? Please advise thanks

    Could someone explain how the middle 2nd row seat fold is SUPPOSED to work?

    Decided to finish the reskin job on the one seat I never installed Not sure if its fold worked before or works now. In its unbolted, uncovered, and cushionless form, it doesn't. Is there some kind of hidden safety that only lets it activate when it's installed, like with seatbelt retractors or...

    What's the rearmost point to tap some 40A power? Always-hot or delayed accessory or something...

    Preferably NOT the dang defrosters, because powering it THAT way would be a farce that would qualify to be called a shamanic ritual Goal: hotwire power 3rd row in an SSV Method: bypass modules and crap (because I'm not even sure which parts I got and where), fit a momentary (hold to activate)...

    Torque Lite AND Torque Pro show 30+ mpg??? Different devices, same truck, same bluetooth dongle

    Consistently. All other data collected seems believable, though, and much of it has been verified true.... What gives? Are they calculating per cylinder and mistaking the V8 for a four banger? Or is there some sort of downloadable patch or plugin to make it accurate for our trucks?

    Radio harnesses don't give it up no more. Some mumbo jumbo about canbus this, electronic smart whatever that ... according to the harness makers. Where is it safe to tap 10A or 15A that turns off with the key? Ciggie lighter is out, that thing is always-hot... Identified fuse #41 as a...
