after..

changed the wheels...

Getting my topper installed today.

I've said "..then I'm done" about 3 dozen times in the past 6 months. I'm come to realize I tend to lie to myself a lot, it's never done ?

Now it will probably rain today. Oh the joys of owning a black daily..

As most project cars often do lol. I will never be done with mine. Mostly cause it costs too much for everything I want Sent from my SM-G986U1 using Tapatalk

Got a call this week from my local dealer that they were looking to buy Silverados.

I bought a year ago at 16k off sticker for 34k. Sold it a year later for 41,500. ? pure craziness. It’s been awesome following the forum and posts. Thanks all!

Before...

Right before I get it “done”, I get another one lol

Don't turn this thread in to the Virus thread. Lets keep it pretty close to the subject as titled. "Covid19 Spare time" So no need for mask vs no mask arguments. Postive vs negative results arguments etc. I can't take another "Corona Virus" thread that endlessly repeats the same material again, and again, and again, and again.................................... If you think something is out of place, just mention to the poster in a reply. If it's really out of whack, we can remove it

I wonder how many people have died because of the political games liberal leftist democrats have played with this virus? I know one thing's for certain they don't care even a little bit.

final product...

Before..

I guess nobody else needs to post any pictures now, lol.

Detailed the crap out of both the interior and exterior. Wash, clay bar, VSS, blacklight, and butter wax, all Chemical Guys products. Turned out well!

even the Germans are protesting this nonsense https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/aug/03/berlin-protests-against-coronavirus-rules-divide-german-leaders . the PCR test are being proven to be bogus , high error rate on the testing , yet we belive the lies. we're all in trouble now, this mob is a bunch of fools and they're the ones steering the ship in this country. scary stuff .

So first trip pulling a 30ft travel trailer weighing approx 5k lbs plus all our crap. Used tow/haul mode and the 5.3 with 6l80 pulled beautifully. Outside temp was around 90. Transmission on highway traveling 65MPH was between 194 and 199. Most of the drive was relatively flat with some hills nothing major. After I exited the highway the temp did get to 201 on local roads that were winding with inclines and descents. Going down hills damn this trans really down shifts to hold you back. On the downshifts it will get to around 4500 RPM and several of those is where I noticed the temp spike. I do have the max tow package so I’m guessing that helps a bit. All in all I’m happy with the way it tows. Pulled 200 miles today. Going another 300 Wednesday. I got 12MPG from start to finish. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks.. I had a feeling you might say that

I fill them up until it comes out the fill hole, never had a problem. The transfer case uses just transmission fluid, don't run anything else other than what it says too. The new HP Fluid won't be what you want. I don't know if the rear is a gasket or just RTV, often it's just RTV. Get a new gasket or use RTV again. I have a fluid pump so sucking the fluid out when it's hot is easier and less of a mess.

here’s my truck after the swap

At that weight, it's personal preference. You will be light enough that you do not need to use it. Try it; if it feels more comfortable to you, then go with it. An oversimplification, but essentially what happens is your line pressure is increased to the transmission, engine mapping/throttle is relaxed, and up shifts are longer(allows more rpm, and will hold a gear longer). Downshifts are quicker and more noticeable to increase engine braking.

Found this in stock locally and now she's mine.

So this is interesting... I was just cleaning up some "residue and dust" left on the spoiler and window. I noticed what looked like a used spoiler bolt gasket in the bed. I have a tonneau cover. The item looks to be a rubber washer about the size of a nickel maybe. I called up the service writer and asked if they replaced the spoiler bolts or washers/gaskets since I found a used one in the bed yet there was nothing on my work order about these parts. He said he'd have to ask the tech and call me back. He called back and said that after talking to the tech, they always replace the gaskets when they pull the spoiler but they don't note them on the customer tickets.

We have moved from masks to the post office now things change faster than the Midwest weather Ryan B.

I have a GMC duramax. I tow a 28’ wilderness 2475BH, approx 6500lbs loaded up. Pulls great, Tons of power. Most of my towing had been on relatively flat terrain. Avg over 1000miles, 12mpg. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been wanting to do this to my truck. Thanks alot guys!

Barricade running boards and husky liners!

I have a 2018 with the 6.2l and 8 speed. I had the shudder issue pretty bad. Mine was mostly the "rumble strip" experience. If I was driving at a steady speed the transmission would "load" like it was going to shift up, then never shift, which would cause the truck to feel as if it was driving over a rumble strip. It did this every minute or so. It was terribly worse when towing. Would make the truck shake pretty good. I had the service done with 22621 on the odo on Jan 21 2020 and it worked like a champ. I have ZERO issues now. It was covered under warranty, so I paid $0 for this to be done. 100% worth it in my opinion.

Well son of a ******. I've been googling this topic for months for these trucks and that company never came up. Oh well. I saved $60 lol.....

I hate the damn arrows on the floor at Walmart especially when I need an item right on the end. I have been knows to turn my cart around and walk backwards [emoji16] Ryan B.

Once you go Tahoe you never go back!

You will get a variety of opinions. I just use it when I want.

Love the fact its not a Ford

The male version of a Karen is called a Darren. You sir, are a Darren.

Just a thought, but maybe check out the vehicle to make sure it's what you want BEFORE you buy it next time.

Try these part numbers...# 23241467 & # 23241465

Until recently the MY GMC app key fob was free for previous vehicles.. I used it for my 2013 with out charge. Now they want an onstar subscription to be able to use the key fob on the My GMC app. Once my 30 day trial was over , it disappeared from the app. Ridiculous on a $50K vehicle...

Finally got some good pics of mine. Man this truck looks mean.

I am going to talk to him tomorrow. My understanding is that "LPO" means the parts are sent to the dealer for them to install. Hopefully he's mistaken.

This is a 3/5 drop from IHC Suspension running the factory original rims with 275/55/20’s. (They are 31.9” tall, 10.8” wide)The front rubs very slightly with passengers and the wheel turned all the way to the left only. A rubbing issue is also going to depend somewhat on the brand kit you use. If you change lower control arms, you’ll lose some turning radius with certain brands. With a bone stock GMC Sierra 1500, you should have 1-1/2 turns of the steering wheel.

Not difficult at all. 2 screws holding each tail light, pop out, locate the reverse light bulb (should be the middle I believe), swap bulbs and reverse procedure. Easiest mod.
