U joints? Transmission mount? 2wd or 4wd? If 4 it could be a transfer case problem. Welcome to the Forum!

Unauthorized use will turn your truck into a 1995 Chevy Cavalier. Use with caution? Can you get a refund?

Garbageee

Thanks for sharing. This is a nice nugget to have.

My TV remotes are fine, thanks.

As the title suggests, I have an unused General Motors authorization code for a set of bed perimeter lighting lamps that I bought. My truck was built with the option for perimeter lighting, and they worked without programming… So now I just have this code. What is it good for now? Can anyone here use it?

I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

Looks like it's riveted to me. What is wrong with that 1? Welcome to the Forum!

Missing pieces of the Assembly Detergency vs Solvency Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution. Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change. How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job. So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on.... Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money. Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them. So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits). For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #). Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was. That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

hit a junkyard.

Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.

Damn I literally just threw the one off my 2016 away a month ago when I remodeled my garage.

Some people can’t help it sometimes. We try not to judge too hard.

I recently bought my Silverado and realized that the bottom part of the Bumper was missing. Does anyone have part numbers the full thing or an aftermarket one that won't break the bank?

He mention Honda filters. I asked if I should be worried. And an explanation. I don’t think he needs any help. And now you made it about you, right?

Mobil on the hi-way went up a dime this afternoon, now $3.79, surrounding stations no change yet still $3.60s, Lowest price local still $3.87 and up

Stan, this thread is not about you and your vehicles. Other members are entitled to their own opinion. So please quit making everything about you.

You claimed Hondas oil filters are a problem. I ask for an explanation. Honda is known as one of the best for longevity and reliability. They also go extended with oil changes. I don’t anymore, go extended because I don’t drive many miles per vehicle because I have a few. So before you claim to be an expert, where’s the proof. I retired from a family business selling equipment and oil and filters. I was one of the first Amsoil dealers. So I know a little about oil and filters. So smarty pants, the proof that Honda sells inferior products, please.

Here is our new to us truck. It's my first GMC anything and will say it drives like a dream. It's a 2020 Denali with 53,000 miles on her. Really cool color. It's gonna take me some time to figure out all of the technology on board with this rig, but so far we're really impressed with it. I came from a 2018 Ram 1500 4x4 with the 6.4 bed and a crew cab with the Hemi. I put a ton of work into her over the 6 years we had her, i.e. Zone 6" lift, Fox 2.5 shocks, brush guard, cab lights, 36x13 tires on chrome 20" rims. Really a beautiful truck. Paid it off in June and a neighbor kid ran into her while it was parked in the street in July and totaled my truck and her car. Didn't even make it a month without a truck payment. Anyway looking forward to learning about this truck on this forum and am throwing around lifting this one too.

On my 2011 Sierra 1500 I had all kinds of lighting issues on the stereo head unit. Turned out there is about 10 or so soldered connections on the head unit that were in various stages of cracked. The solder guy fixed that up a couple years ago but now the rear speakers aren't working. Might be the same thing. Every so often the speakers work. Jim

Stupid questions don’t get serious answers.

So I was going to go for a drive in the 2011 GMC 1500 at 4am but when I started the truck, no low beams. High beams work. Separate bulbs. Now what. Google says that sometimes when one bulb goes the other goes in sympathy. Who knows when they went out. Did some testing. The connector that plugs into the bulb had 12 volts. The bulb showed open circuit implying that the bulb is gone. Replaced one bulb and it worked. Can't get the other bulb out of the headlamp assembly so have to remove the whole assembly. That will be in a couple days. Other things to do. Got it though Jim
