No. Points redeemable for beer only. Ten points'll get you a few cold ones
though.

Yes. PITA as a one man job. Air tools are good.

Just for giggles, I called the dealer. $426 (in stock) for the part
compared to $334 at the parts store.

Service said $170 labor, almost worth it to let them F with it. Except
they're the ones who created the coolant leak when they flushed my coolant.
Better just to do the wrenching myself so at least I know where to check for
the screwups.

Okay, tune up time so I can get that blue ox back on the road.

My old Dodge pickup had a noisy fuel pump from day one. At about 115k,
I decided to change it as a preventative measure. Two years later when
the replacment pump went I found those linesman's pliers I thought I'd
lost sitting on top of the tank. Check your toolbox.

Silly boy, it's a Chevy. They're supposed to do that.
