  1. I looked at that. I thought a shovel sliding in and out would soon tear it up.
  2. Anybody used this tailgate gap cover 84184471? Looks like it would be good for gravel or mulch, but I want to put on a tailgate strip light, and I wonder if it will work with this strip.
  3. Wow! another spring problem! The GM Turds sent me a note that they extended my spring warranty to five years WHEN MY TRUCK WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD!! GM Sucks. My last GM after 40 years of nothing else. The practice of engineering on the road at the customer's expense has ended it for me.
  4. 5.3 from hell....... I had an AFM lifter crap out on my 09, 52 thousand miles, took it to the gmc garage, $2700 and a week later, it runs, but the oil pressure drops so low it locks a code. Also, the AFM, which is what they were supposed to fix, doesn't work. I removed and replaced the lifter oil filter and sender (which you can do without any special tools or removing anything else - lots of youtube videos of it) but no help. I think they contaminated the sump and crap went through the oil pump. I cut the filter open (600 miles on it) and it was full of metal. The oil looked like sick metal flake paint. Back to the garage, where they wanted another $1800 to fix it. I told them to keep the piece of crap. Then they said they would replace the pump, put in a new suction o-ring, install the baffle later 5.3s have for $750, so I told 'em to do it. They pulled the cam, and it had spun a bearing. They also replaced all that for the same price. This time it took 2 weeks and 2 days....... It does run well now, and has great oil pressure, but I feel like I can't trust it now, and feel like GM pulled another "let's develop this technology on the road at our customer's expense" trick. I could have had a new motor in less time and probably less $$. So don't ignore your low oil pressure warning.... and don't but any 2007-8-9 AFM equipped pos.
