Well today was a busy day for my SHO.
Started with changing out the puddle lamps (see/refer earlier post from this morning).
Performed an oil change and in doing so, noticed I had two small meth leaks. Christ's sake.
One leak was on the OEM Washer Reservoir. The low tank sensor grommet degrades over time. So off with that piece, drain all the meth, then slap a new grommet in place, clean up the old sealant, then re-install and re-seal.
The 2nd leak was on the pump itself. Pretty common place. If you recall I learned back in Summer of 2014, that ALL METH PUMPS (regardless of the mfg'er) have a life span. Typically 2.5-3yrs.
At that time (Summer of 2014) I replaced that pump with a new one, then had my original pump from 2011, sent back to Alky Controls for rebuild.
So I got 3yrs out of the 1st pump, and almost 4yrs out of the second pump.
I'll send the 2014 new pump in for rebuild, and will feel confident that the current one will last another 3yrs.
But WHEW. Good Lord. My lower back is starting to feel it after having spent so much personal, intimate time with the SHO today.
No spring chicken anymore, lemme tell 'ya.
