Hey guys! I've been snooping around the forum for quite a while now, but i just now got around to snapping some pics of my truck. It's a 2007 LT, I've had it now for two years (two years this coming Monday to be exact). I did the DIC upgrade, as well as colored door handles and mirror caps. My tries are 305/60/18's and I absolutely love them, they were worth the money in my opinion. The only thing I really have left to do is add the remote start and leather seats. Well here are some pics for y'all to look at.

Yeah, it's got the old Rough Country kit up front. The tires do rub the fender liner slightly. That could easily be taken care of by trimming the bottom lip off, maybe one day I will get off my lazy butt and do it.

Sweet truck. I'm in the process of adding the color match door handles. not sure if I am gonna do the bumper and grill.

 

I got my handles on ebay for around $50 bucks. A buddy of mine owns a sign shop that specializes in vehicle wraps and graphics, he wrapped my bow ties and front bumper in white vinyl that matches pretty darn good.

sweet tires. i would love a set of them. i have the cooper discoverer stt's now in a 275, i also have a set of 285 bfg's, but they are so heavy, they kill the power on these trucks. i have the 18's too and love the looks of them. can i ask where you got the tires and how much they were? and also did they kill the fuel economy and power? how much did they change the ride?

The tire rides, drives, and balanced absoluely excellent. My local tire shop couldn't believe how little weight it took to balance them out. They are 10 ply so they did firm up the ride a little bit, but it doesn't ride rough at all. The fuel economy is down less than 1 mpg over the 265 Cooper ATR that I was running before this. As for power, I really didn't notice much power loss at all. I do however have a Superchip programmer on it that really did help it out (I bought that before I found out about the Blackbear tune). If you want to know how much I paid for them send me a message, some people might thing I'm crazy if I posted it haha.

It's probably been on there 6 months or so with no aging or wear. He does very elaborate full vehicle wraps that stay looking brand new for years so I'm not worried about my little piece of white vinyl. Oh and the best part is he's my buddy so he did it for free!

      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.
