  1. I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26, if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.
  2. I installed the Auto stop eliminator on my 21 Sierra SLT shortly after I got it. They have a detailed video instruction on how, took me about 20-30 minutes to do. I was apprehensive too to start tearing apart a new truck but it was pretty easy install. Like you mentioned get some trim tools. I went to Harbor freight and picked up a set. If you can find some install videos/instructions to give you and idea for a plan of attack you should be fine.
  3. I do not. Magnolia Advanced Designs is the name that makes them.
  4. Installed a Magnolia rear sliding window gloss bezel kit on my 21 Sierra yesterday, I really like the look. Only $35 plus shipping, have to see how they hold up.
  5. When I had the front and rear diffs serviced I used Amsoil Severe Gear 75W-80 synthetic gear lube. my 21 Sierra has SU4 front, SU7 rear.
  6. I read a few months ago that GM had a limited recall on some Diesel 10 speeds (10L1000?), how are the Gas 10 speed (10L80-90) Valve Bodies faring?
  7. Theres also an outfit called NextGen drivetrain that is selling an upgraded valve body for the 10 speeds, theirs are $3495 plus $1000 core charge. Be interesting how they compare.
  8. Received my recall letter yesterday. They will send me another letter asking to take my vehicle in for service.
  9. When I run the vin on GMs website my truck shows recall under program #252494000, Status- Incomplete, Remedy not available. Build date is 3/27/21. When will the Status become complete? It sounds like some have already had engine replacements with the recall,
  10. Is the recall for Engine build date or Truck build date? My build date was 6 days after yours on 3/27.
  11. Had the same thing on my 21 Sierra 6.2. Dealer replaced it under warranty.
  12. I installed one on my 21 Sierra almost since new. Easy install and have not had any problems with it.
  13. For the last few weeks when I try to use Google maps from my iPhone it shows my location just above the equator off the coast of Africa in the Atlantic ocean! When I open the app in the iphone it works normally. I've tried going through all the settings in the phone and infotainment with no luck. Anyone have any ideas? In the past it worked fine.
  14. You can get color matched caps for a $100 in the Chevrolet/GMC accessories catalog.
  15. This is the UOA test kit that Napa sells for $15, first one I've had done. I plan to run this oil to 3500 miles and test again more to see how the oil is holding up then anything else, I don't trust the oil life monitor for these GDI engines. Customboss did I read somewhere on the Forum that you do UOA? If so I can send it to you when I change the oil again this Spring. I was a little disappointed the Napa (ALS)results only had Base and Viscosity results in regard to the oil. I was hoping they would show Fuel dilution like you mentioned above.
  16. My guess is its a voltage/amperage feed problem because its only blue intermittently when in DLR mode and goes away completely when the headlights are on, and only on the drivers side, at least on my truck.
  17. This is my first UAO on my 21 Sierra 6.2. Bought a couple of the Napa kits, analysis was done by ALS labs. Total miles on the truck 5890 with oil/filter changes at 700, 2800 and 3044 using Mobil 1 AFE 0w-20 and Purolator Pure 1 filter.
  18. My problem is its intermittent, sometimes light blue other times normal.
  19. On my 21 Sierra SLT my steering wheel and seats are warm after 2-3 minutes, but no lights for the steering wheel or seats are on.
  20. The Blackstone pumps are identical to the Amsoil unit, just different stickers. I found that the 1/4" tubing is too large for my 21 6.2 dip stick tube, called Blackstone about this and they sent some 1/8" tubing, works fine now.
  21. I thinks its for a power sunroof.
  22. Seems like the majority, if not all are the drivers side.
  23. My Sierras DLR lights match when I first start the truck then after a few minutes the driver side top turn a lite blue. I went and checked and mine behaves the same way with headlights on, clears up, off back to blue. Thanks for pointing this out.
  24. My 3 month old 21 Sierra SLT has developed this problem on the drivers side but its intermittent, usually when I first start it its white like the other side then will change to a lite blue and pretty noticeable. Of course took it the dealer and it stayed white! Lol Has anyone else had theirs act this way? Will it eventually stay blue?
  25. Is the ASE module causing the rough shifts or is this an existing condition before installation? Looking to get an ASE for my 21 Sierra, but holding off until I get more info on this.
