After a LOT of butchery to the header panel, the headlights are aimed right and throwing good patterns. The right fog pattern is sharper because it's a new reflector/lens.

The SES light was on for P0135 (oxygen sensor heater, B1S1), and a quick test showed the sensor was actually burned out internally. So it was replaced and the code was cleared.

After trying at least 2 dozen times at least 6 methods and 2 scantools, these fobs are going back to chy-nah.

Shortly after noticing the low-fuel light & chime, the tank was filled, so it appears to be a ~15gal tank.

After straightening the lips of 2 wheels, the bald rear tires were replaced with Starfire WR 225/50R16 92W & installed on the front, with the usable front tires now on the rear. All the mounting surface...

The spare was nearly flat, so it will need to be checked & aired up frequently. The original jack is stowed, but the original lug wrench was missing, so a similar replacement has been stowed. The extra jack has been removed.

That should get rid of most of the ants. Both remotes have failed, and it looks like a scantool is required to program replacements. But even GM technicians with the GM scantool have trouble programming GM remotes with new batteries.

Pressure washing is the quickest way to get rid of most of the leaves, dust, dirt, & mildew on & in the body. Careful aiming keeps most of the water out of the interior, but it dries pretty quickly in this weather.

While diagnosing the inoperative reverse lights, I found the ant colony in the right taillight. The egg chamber was inside the lamp board, whose steel (what were the GM engineers thinking?) circuit traces had rusted away, including at some of the bul...
