Wow, you have been very busy!
I hope the GT rewards you for all your effort.

I sure have been. Today and the next few days might be a break for me. Early tomorrow morning would be a great time to get the new radiator in. Thank you! I sure did enjoy my first two days with it.

Finally got around to replacing the right engine mount on the XC earlier this evening. Man, this was in bad shape! It should cut down on NVH significantly.
I was wondering why the V8 version is so much more expensive than every other version of this mount, but it’s actually quite a bit beefier. The 5 cylinder mount seems really small and weak in comparison. Still wish there was an OEM version available. It seems Volvo likes to get that V8 tax on all of the blue box-only parts!
