  1. I’m going to replace the tires on my truck. The ones on it now have been on 8 years, and new sensors with the new wheels at that same time. I think the next set may go just as long, so while I was doing it, I want to replace TPMS sensors. Is there anybody here that knows a current part number for those sensors? 2015 Silverado HD, crew, gas burner. Just a standard truck, not anything fancy
  2. I am about ready to replace my tires on my truck, and after 6 years of being in use, I was going to replace the TPMS stems too. I bought gm 13598772 new when I did the tires and wheels, but wondered if anyone knew if there was an updated part number.
  3. I see now that Sylvania now selling LED bulbs. I have the Silverstar XZE or something like that in mine, but I wondered if anybody had tried the Sylvania LEDs
  4. I am at work, and don't have my manual available to me right now. What are the USB ports for in the console on a 2015 Silverado? There is also one in the glove box. I want to get a cable to run my phone music on aux, but don't know what port to use. Thanks in advance
  5. You could get GM ones. I think the BDS would be the better buy, but I've looked into this stainless one and you can get the lower skid plate too, however I cant find that in stainless. https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjoh8_P0tn1AhWUGH0KHe2jBRQYABAJGgJwdg&ae=2&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESWOD2di37mKSMN5kq_pLkpZ3h2sLbajoyx32upinxsmNJRMfnP1AFmUhLaVX3FnsaedPa6vRx1FXeiDOSKq38P2ctYFUfLymlbtNUG8amTnrO9NPXyH93l28&sig=AOD64_1QhnVUzDchOJ4LpJqk2BTeAzypvg&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwi9_8bP0tn1AhVLHTQIHXVkCcEQ9aACegQIARBE&adurl=
  6. With disc brakes, where does the drag come from? There is almost no drag at all on the rears when I jack it up and turn the wheels. Do I need to adjust the emergency brakes for the drag?
  7. Its like when I put on the brakes, the rear brakes will stop the axles, but then releasing the brakes, the brakes release and the truck lunges forward like its releasing sprung up weight and it clunks a little bit. The suspension is all stock, but I will have to check spring bushings and mounts.
  8. Yes, its a one piece driveshaft. I made sure splines were good, then put some grease in there before sliding in the trans. Thank you for your reply txab, I'm really trying to find this problem..............
  9. Ok, I looked thru the first 20 pages of the topics her and couldn't find what I felt I needed to solve my problem. My truck is an 04, extended cab, 233,000 miles on drivetrain, rear disc brake truck. When I brake, the rear end feel like it loads up and unloads (for lack of better terms) when I release the brakes. I replaced u-joints not quite a year ago, along with brakes and everything looked good. I filled the drive shaft with grease before slipping back onto transmission end, couldn't believe there was no grease zert in that slip yoke to do that. Seems like it just started this this summer, but I don't know where to look. Could the shocks be letting the axle wrap just a little bit when braking? The truck is fairly clean underneath for the miles and environment. Its just annoying I can't figure this out. Thanks for any help.
  10. I could mod my current 6.0, and probly will in the future. It just sounded like it would be cool to do a swap with that new 6.6. I had mine tuned and it runs rather well, but I still want more out of it. Probly a cam swap in the future and see if that gets me what I want for awhile,
  11. I've been reading alot lately about the performance of the 6.6 gas motors in the new trucks. I love my truck, and only wish it would have more power for get up and go. I drive my truck the way I want, and sometimes thats faster than most. I would have a 6.2 half ton, but my enclosed trailer is more than a half ton could pull comfortably. I have seen a few 6.6 gas motors showing up in salvage yards already, and I believe there is even one on ebay for sale right now. I wonder what it would take to swap in place of a 6.0? I really don't know much about them except they are a direct inject motor (I think) but my truck is a 15 and shouldn't be that far off on electronics I wouldn't think.
  12. I don't know if this will help, since my truck is not SC or built. I think the one major flaw I can find is the first to second gear ratio in the trans. I had my truck tuned, and I rod it around once in a while, but burn outs and launches kinda suck with this truck. ( I know its not built for 1/8 mile or 1/4 mile runs, but its mine and I drive it the way I want.) When it shifts outta first doing a burnout, it falls flat on its face. I don't now if you'd have to open up the transmission and change that ratio, or my tuner needs to do more work............. I think your 4.10 gears will be fine, it'll definitely be really quick off the lights!!
  13. Salesman friend of mine told me yesterday an email from GM came out saying GM only making crew cab trucks for 2021. No extended cabs, or no regular cabs. Any truth to this I wonder? I think it would be a big mistake to do that, but I guess production is behind and the crew cabs are what is selling more than the rest.
  14. I just put a pair of Bosch OE icon, I think is what they were, on my 15. Not a perfect fit, but they are tight and didn't come off running full blast on a road trip we just took in a blinding rainstorm. The passenger side fit well, but the tabs didn't fit the drivers side arm the same. I may take them back and look for something different.
