Updates, updates, updates:

 

Got some new stuff on the old truck. New Denali front end, new centerline wheels 20's chrome, sidesteps billet painted black, chrome tailgate handle, rear anti-sway bar, and finaly a flowmaster 40 series muffler with turndown pipe before the rear diff, and some nitto tires.

 

I also had my transmission worked on a few months ago, rebuilt with more clutch plates and some corvette parts. Also finaly got my d**n center console finished.

Looks great! I've been looking for an exhaust mod but can't decide on just muffler or a cat back system. How is the cab noise w/the turndowns?

Its a little louder cause I went with a flowmaster 40 series. But I love the sound. Now that you can hear much with the stereo cranked up. The turn down pipe goes right before the rear diff. Very swanky. I am looking at doning some dynamat in the future this summer. So it shouldnt be a problem after that.

 

Also what method did you use to paint the sidesteps?

 

 

 

the paint shop used regular paint and mixed it with some compound to make it flexable or something. All I know for sure is that they did an awesome job, and it shows off better than stock by FAR!

I noticed you said that you finished your center console... was this adding the factory one??  How about some pics???

 

 

 

I will take some tonight....hope I remember how to work that camera. I added a factory Denali 2002 center console to my 2003 gmc truck. I still have some holes to fill but I have some electronic gagets that will flip the bill nicely. Be getting them soon after I save up some moola...

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.
