Hard to get motivated

I’m finding it hard to get motivated to do much on the E28. It runs well, and there aren’t any glaring needs.

On the list of things I should do:

-Oxygen sensor. Pretty sure mine is not good.

-Rear differential. I’m about 75% sure that is the cause of the speed dependent whine from the rear of the vehicle. It is a 3.25 non-LS. I’m thinking about getting a lower LS one to get a bit more oomph off the line. Also in looking at it this morning it appears to be a leak, though there are no drops on the floor at all.

-Trunk gasket. It leaks by the rear window on the passenger side. I don’t drive it in the rain though.

-Windshield washers. The wipers don’t work, but the washers don’t. Haven’t troubleshooted (troubleshot?) that yet to determine the issue.

-Bumpers. Would really like euro style ones, but the diving board are growing on me.

-I still need to track down the issue with the auxiliary fan not turning on when the AC is on.

-Radio antenna from yesterday’s post.

-Random surface.

But honestly, not much else.

I may go ahead and do an transmission fluid and filter replacement on the Suburban, it is over 100k miles and probably hasn’t been done.
