A whole bunch of stuff for my new flaming avian...

Don't know when (or if) any of it was last done, so I've loaded up the parts cannon a bit. Thermostat and temp sender because it's running a bit cold and the gauge and OBD numbers disagree, so one of the two should fix it.

Ordered a serpentine belt and tensioner/idler pulley as well because it's squeaking a bit at idle.
 
2003 GMC Savana 3500 6.0L 'The Works' high pressure power steering / hydroboost lines and underbody return line. Van I rode in with my coworker also needed work for a power steering leak. Might was well attack the lines prone to leaking.

Stocked up some HPS 5/8" Silicone coolant heater bypass caps whenever I come across plugged 5/8" barbs that is plugged by a rubber cap.
 
The dealer knocked off $1k for the rashed wheel on the Highlander (left rear). I thought they were crazy but I'm not arguing. Didn't notice any odd tracking or vibes on the test drive or since. I never heard of a "clad" wheel before.

Found a used wheel with claimed 8 miles on it from an ebay seller; $499+tax, shipped (FedEx). Valve stem but no TPM sensor.

PCV valve and hose for dad’s 2004 Camry. The other hose was brittle and just fell apart and we think it may have been the cause for a vacuum leak which made the engine sound bad. We can’t find anything else that could be causing it. No reason to buy either of these as an OEM part. All we install at work is aftermarket on these because we don’t stock PCV valves.
 
Helped my vette magician upgrade my noisy aeromotive fuel pump to a 3 motor fore.No words can describe having to assemble one of the three after in the tank.But not one of the steps to get there is anything short of crazy

Got an Optima that I think the engine is dying, but I'll maintenance it a little bit to see if it helps
Planning oil changes means more profit
And some consumables, always need lightbulbs

Some new parts I’ll be putting on the Escape this weekend. Couldn’t get a rear wiper locally at least not a Trico. This is the first time I’ve ever spent more than about $8 on a wiper blade lol. Going to Advance to check on a wiper tomorrow since my work can only check one location.
 
My most recent RA purchase should be here shortly:

New A/C compressor (with seal kit), fuel filter, and brass expansion plug kit for the Reatta. Just a hair under $150 shipped for everything, pretty much unbeatable.

I'm doing the repairs in preparation for the new owner, who I'll be meeting in the Twin Cities (they're coming up from Des Moines) over the Easter break. Slowly thinning the herd.
 
I got some parts for my transmission service. It's going to be a long day; I will be sure to post some pictures.

Left to Right: 4 gallons of Valvoline Maxlife, free zip ties from Harbor Freight, transmission oil pan gasket, transmission pan bolts, transmission drain plug, microfiber towels for the transmission pan, transmission filter, fluid transfer pump, and in the back: ramps (duh).

ACDelco Professional 9748HH Spark Plug Wire Set (amazon on sale)
8x Denso 5325 Iridium plugs (rockauto)
AC Delco 530298 2wd front shocks (rockauto)
AC Delco 530247 rear shocks (rockauto)

A friend is borrowing my truck for the past month or so as his DD is getting hail damaged fixed, once he is finished I will give the truck a spring refreshing. The current shocks are tired, the plugs and wires might not be necessary but doing it anyway.
Read many folks here complaining about gabriel and kyb shocks, so going to try AC Delco professionals.
