Traded my Escalade handles I got a couple months ago for a set of Denali handles. Found someone who needed Escalade handles and was down to trade. Glad that I found these lol

Quick parts haul for the week:
1. Left and Right GM Genuine wiper arms.
2. 2 Genuine GM motor mounts
3. Moog 234 U-Joint

This should help the tranny re-install and get the headers off the frame.

I believe that it was replaced when my trans was rebuilt in '19

Got the seat repair kit to stop my driver seat from shifting backwards and forwards as a gift for Christmas. Swapped the motor mount the other weekend. Still no transmission back in the truck...

So after another month of the truck hanging out in the driveway I finally got it driving again lol
Looks to be no leaks after the rear main seal swap so I guess that was it and it was a success! I have drove around a bit, couple miles with a **** ton of idling and nothing yet.
At first the truck felt real sluggish and it still kind of does. I am going to have to hook up HPTuners and get a log and see if something is wrong. I think it was because of my trans fluid pressure though. I would put it in drive or reverse and it just refused to move under it's own power, I would have to give it gas to go anywhere. After I added a quart of trans fluid it felt much better and started to roll on it's own. I'm looking at a combo of the truck being sat for like 40 days with an unplugged battery, low trans fluid pressure since low on fluid, and also the same tank of gas since like mid November.

Oh well finally done with that. Unfortunately the motor mount swap did not fix ****. Headers are still laying on the frame and my y-pipe doesn't fit for ****. Still a massive hole in one of the sections where it connects, I just have it covered up with the connector and tightened down hard so that it closes. Kinda sucks tbh
