Went to the junkyard today again, but this time the BIG one in West Palm. It was originally going to just be my dad, my sister's boyfriend, and me, but a buddy of mine from the wagon forum sent me a facebook message, and I called him this morning so he also joined in with his son. Fun day. Got some parts, had some good Mexican for lunch, and got to have a mini wagon parade. Hooray!
Scored 2 LT1 PCMs, which I will re-sell and will pay for the rest of my goodies.
For myself:
The missing cupholders for my Blazer console. Just need to paint them black, but I am VERY happy about this.
A cruise control module, because my cruise doesn't work. After replacing it, it still doesn't work. Time to go to the forums for this one...
A jack from a boxy Caprice. The 91-96 cars just come with scissor jacks, which SUCK (4200 pound car, plus all the things I keep in it regularly, with a scissor jack? REALLY GM? REALLY?) This one is sort of like a ratchet jack or "farm jack". MUCH easier to use to lift the behemoth on the side of the road.
Various bowtie emblems off of all sorts of things. I like these. I stick them on all sorts of stuff. My fridge has one, I think my laptop is next.
Dad also got a chrome trim piece for his Park Avenue that was broken, and a new passenger side mirror.

After returning home, bought the correct temperature thermostat. Car ran MUCH better. Felt like it had more power, wasn't stumbling. Awesome. Then as I get close to home, I notice the gauge creeping up toward the H, and sure enough, it got into the red and the temp light comes on. Luckily, I was right on my street, so I pull in and pop the hood to check my coolant level, and sure enough I blew a damn radiator hose.
I'll buy it tomorrow. It's dark, and I don't want to deal with it.
