Get up at 6 AM to get the kids to finish homework. Take them to school so Momma can sleep in. Go to post office and get gas pedal part for Yarin sent off overnight to NY Run to my moms place to pick up some stuff she needs delivered. come home hook up trailer and take scrap metal to the junk guy. While he is unloading it he just stops and said its break time. He decided he rested enough and finished now IM off to the car part place to get new fromt hubs for the Suburban guess what they are out but can hve a set there in an hour. No big deal get them coming I have to run across town to the powder coater and get my cam towers Ill be back. Half hour drive to coaters and find out they goofed and it was not my stuff they did yesterday like the lady said they will try to get to them today or monday SOOO back to the parts guy and pick up my hubs $375 because GM decided to go to hubs and not replaceable wheel bearings Back to the house put the trailer away and its only 3PM now I need to change the hubs then work on our shower because it drips all the time.

These are the dreaded hubs that gm came up with I got them swapped out in a little over two hours and went for the road test. Now I can hear a grinding sound out of the rear end Looks like it may get the 373 gears sooner than I wanted. I know from past Suburbans I will get a little better mileage with those gears over the stock highway ones because it can finally pull itself around.
