Could the battery in the TPMS just be dead?

If you are considering that swap, then I say sell both & just go straight to the 10-speed. Or maybe a stick shift?

Yesterday I picked up my truck again from the dealership for a second fluid swap at 47k miles. If this one only lasts half as long, I’ll be happy. In the mean time I’ll be looking at upgrading tuning, the torque converter, & adding additional transmission fluid cooling. They let me use a 2023 4X4 Sierra with the 2.7L Turbo. I have to admit that it had plenty of pep! Throttle response was very good. It would easily spin the back tires. I was surprised that it only averaged mid-18s mpg over the 150 miles I had it when my heavier 6.2 averages only about 2mpg less.

Did you have any luck?

You mean the 8ft bed as the long bed, right? My 18 SLT Crew has the 6.5ft bed

At the minimum tires, then upgrade the brakes. It might be cheaper to rent something like a Van or even a motor home for the trip.

Maybe a bad ground?

The additional length is between the cab & the axle. So, everything would need to be extended.

I put in a set of the lighted GMC door sills & trimmed the mats to not cover them up. But I didn’t mess with the wiring part.

Sorry to hear that. Years & years ago when the 4L60E was pretty much the only automatic transmission option for RWD GM vehicles someone figured out that the S10 spec converter was looser than the one specced for the B-bodies. So several people were able to get a “better” factory converter through GM dealerships, especially when they blew the transmissions & had them replaced under warranty.

Now it’s going between 153 & 151 ??

Ug, now its on 153?!? Wtf? Lol

So, I’m sitting in my truck after getting home from work & I notice the mileage is at 16061. I think that’s cool, but I should set one of the screens to go with it. In scrolling I find that the Transmission Fluid Temp is at 162 degrees & think I’ll just wait for it to drop to 161 with the engine off. Now I’ve been sitting here a while watching that temp & it drops from 162 to 160. It flips between the 2 before settling on 160. I’m guessing it only reads in 2 degree increments? So, I crank it up & watch it go 160, 162, then 163, 164, 165... Hmm. I turn it off & watch it go back down in the opposite order. Then it goes to 158, 156, & is now at 154 after several minutes of sitting & watching... Kinda weird how it seems to only read in even numbers below 162, but reads every degree above that.

Loaded the bed up with a pallet of cinder blocks to go with the pool we’re putting in.

Dang, that’s dirty! I need to vacuum under there! And I watched the video which answered my question. No, these just slip on over the existing ducting & direct air over the carpet & up a bit. I’m thinking a quick fix could be a little cardboard or something until I come up with something more permanent.
