  1. Hi everyone, 2015 Sierra 1500 with 5.3 and 6 spd. with 130k km(81kmiles). Transmission has been smooth all its life. Did the usual this morning by starting it and let it heat up around 5 mins before heading out. Truck did not want to shift passed second gear for a good 4-5 miles. After that back to normal. Anyone ever experience this?
  2. Was filling the washer fluid last night and found the hose between engine and radiator appear to be leaking. Anyone know what this hose is? 2015 Sierra 1500 with 5.3L.
  3. Thanks for the feedback. So if I understand, it's the voltage fluctuation that is the problem on those?
  4. So far my truck has been going through a headlight bulb every 6 months. At $50 each they're not cheap. Found out the passenger one is burnt last night and went on Amazon and ordered a set of LED Sealight for $50 with hopes they will last longer. Question is, anyone here has them that would have comments on those? https://www.amazon.ca/H11-Headlight-Conversion-Approved-SEALIGHT/dp/B079KB7QX3/ref=au_as_r?_encoding=UTF8&Make=GMC|48&Model=Sierra 1500|548&Year=2015|2015&ie=UTF8&n=6948389011&newVehicle=1&s=automotive&vehicleId=1&vehicleType=automotive
  5. That's pretty much the only way I can explain why they'd both go down the same amount of pressure overnight. And yes followed the instruction and cut the lines as straight as it can be.
  6. Hey guys, Installed airlift 5000 air bags yesterday. Left them with 30 psi of pressure overnight. Checked them in the morning and they were both equally down to 21 psi. Checked for leaks and doesn't appear to be leaking anywhere. The temperature dropped 15 degrees C overnight. Could this have affected the airbags this much? I have a 32' camper with about 650lbs hitch weight. If any of you have a similar setup, what pressure do you run them when towing? Took off Timbren suspension helpers to put the airbags. Even with 30psi in the bags for the test ride the truck rides a ton smoother. Took longer to take the rubber blocks than it took to install the airbags. As long as I don't have any pressure issues I'll be satisfied with the switch.
  7. 1) If you stick to P rated tire changes in mpg should be minimal but going bigger will still affect your mpg. If you're going to drive on gravel roads or tow anything regularly I'd suggest to go to a LT tire. This will affect you mpg quite a bit more but will add stability and reduce the chances of making a flat. 2) Any type of lift or level will affect the stock ride. They all change the geometry of the truck. Mine has a 2" RC front level. Made it stiffer but I'm ok with it. 3) Those a good truck with a solid powertrain. Only had 1 real issue with my 2015 so far which was an electrical issue (power brake module got water in it). So if you take good care of it it'll last.
  8. Hey guys, Any of you have a crew cab short box with a ladder rack? Pics, Info and Reviews would be appreciated!
  9. I have the 5.3L with 3.42 gears. 2" level kit and 275/65/18 BFG KO2's on it. I get anywhere from 10.5 to 12 L/100km on highway and 14 to 17L/100km in the city. My opinion is that the 5.3L is worth the extra $ as a bigger engine will not work as hard to push the truck around and also being the most popular engine can be a plus in the long run.
  10. Apparently water got in the brake module. It's a part they have to order from the U.S. so truck is down for a week.
  11. Took a video of what mine does. Taking it to dealer tomorrow as they are closed today. Curious to know what has been causing all those warnings.
  12. Hey guys. Just starting with this trouble with my Sierra. Bought it new last year and only have 17,000km on it. Called GM Canada and they investigated and called back. At this point I'm being told to not do anything to it and dealer will not touch it until they find a permanent fix. So they are looking into a permanent fix but no time line yet. This will blow if I have to expose my frame to road salt before I can do anything to it without cancelling chances of getting the fix from GM.
  13. Hey guys, I just bought a parts truck because I needed winter wheels and it was pretty much the same price to buy this truck as to just buy used rims. Living in a city with a small lot I will probably end up dismantling what I need on parts truck and junk the rest. I would like to know what would be interchangeable since they're not from same year and model My good truck is a 2003 gmc sierra 1500 with 4.8L, lever 4x4, ext cab. The parts truck is a 1999 chevy silverado 1500 with a 5.3, push button 4x4, regular cab. Should I expect most parts to fit my sierra? Thanks,
  14. That is definitively a GMC. And I would rather it stay red. At least something to distinguish the interiors for both brands.
  15. Has there been an actual confirmation from GM? If this pictures is from an Ebay auction they could have used a stock Chevy picture to advertise a GMC product by mistake.
