Log of my 1995 Hummer

[TOBASH]

1995 with lots of upgrades.

I get her back from Tor Sunday. Then I can start work on her.

Drivers’ heated window replaced. I’ll try to seal some of the old one’s front sided cracks.

Rear brake calipers replaced. All pads replaced.

A/C vacuum hose that was fu<ked up by HummerWhore was replaced. Blower and motor replaced. A/C blows cold. Heat blows hot.

Ball joints replaced.

Hubs checked. Fluids replaced.

CTIS leaks identified as at hub inlets so now I know what to rebuild after I source parts.

Darned CTIS alarm unplugged until I actually engage the CTIS system.

Now time to drive and enjoy.

Shaking her out, driving to work.

New brakes catch/pulsate. Gonna see if a little wear smoothes them out.

A/C drips. Gonna wait on fixing that until Autumn.

Gonna rip off the rusting brush guard and weld up a new better one soon.

Rusting roof rack has gotta go. I’ll keep the feet and weld up a superior unit this Autumn.

Really fun to drive to and from work while shaking her out.

As a favor to Tor, I drove to deliver a replaced part from Tor to my friend George. Tor worked on his truck and replaced the steering gear.

George owns three Hummer H1’s.

Turned into a Hummer jamboree and photo op.

Found a great copilot.

Today I swapped in new LED headlights.

My vehicle had some type of upgrade. Halogen or Xenon. I have pictures. There was an energizer on the back of the lights and an extra power plug with a strange connector. It provided crap illumination.

I swapped in Amazon $60 headlights I bought years ago and meant to use on my M1025. Instead I used them for the 1995 Hummer Slantback, and they are much more powerful. I hear they might fog up but I will wait and see. If they fog I will drill in hoses to allow the HVAC to blow them clean just like old hoodtachs from 1969 GTO’s. I’ll hook up the outer headlight “eyes” tomorrow. I got these in just before the Heavens opened up with thunder and lightning.

I took pictures of the difference in illumination between the newer headlights (passengers’ side), and the older headlights with the weird energizers that I guess are Xenon (drivers’ side).
