Today an all day cruise through southern Ontario, ah the hood old days!

 

swapped the battery on Saturday, wasn't struggling to start, but I felt like there was a second more hesitation than there should be, and the battery was 4+ years old, so better safe than sorry
new one didn't have the hole for the vent tube, but the one I've been riding around with since I bought it wasn't hooked up either, so.. oh well lol

 

Cool, I gotta load test my 5 year old battery. Thanks for reminder.

Took mine & my gas can to go pick up 5 gal of 100% gas for my mowers. I run it in my HHR as well.

 

Fuel relay. Way back hit a pothole and been chasing gremlins ever since. Pothole broke the left rear wheel sensor and the left front headlight wire. Transmission wasn’t shifting right and esc failed. Can’t remember the couple things in between but a couple days back stalled and wouldn’t stay running. Replaced relay today and so far so good. I shouldn’t be having all these hiccups with only 78k miles. Whoa is me...

 

Sounds like a loose fuse box under the hood. Tighten all of the bolts till you think they will break, usually 4 clicks.

 

^^^ what he said, they are 7 mm .

today a drive to the Costco for provisions, then cut the lawns and now it’s naptime! 💤

 

Bought a scan tool to help with the fleet of vehicles here on the farm. Scanned the HHR, and apparently gave it a clean bill of health.

 

On Saturday, I drove to meet the_shmoo then we drove in his HHR to visit fastsuv and see his new to him SS , formerly owned by firemangeorge, wow, what a clean beautiful SS , very well maintained.
George did an excellent job preserving this 2010 SS . Then fastsuv took us out for lunch in Wilson , New York .
thanks for lunch Steve, and Keith thanks for the ride!
