That figures. :nonod: Just what I want to do - go pay tolls on the Mass Pike, sit in Boston traffic, hit 12 potholes & ruin more suspension components and bend rims, then spend an hour in more traffic because I made a wrong turn and got caught up on a bunch of one-way streets with no way back ... plus the $50 they charge now for the hearing on top of it all. No thanks!! What a racket Boston has going there ... :banghead:

 

Your smart moving to NH. If I was smart i would've went house hunting up there instead. Wife couldn't leave her job and family, so had to do what we had to do. We're poorer every day because of it.

Yea got lucky wife and i are both young and no real reason to stay in MA and be taken advantage of. Granted we live just over the border now its still NH and not MA.

Nice Camaro there! My buddy let me drive his '10 6-speed SS convertible a couple years back when it was stock - I thought the thing flew then! He's since threw lower gears out back, done exhaust, throttle body, big cam, tune, etc etc. His last dyno run was pushing 500 RWHP!!

 

This year he's getting a supercharger ... :uhoh: I can't wait to ride in that thing after that!! Supposed to be 600 RWHP after that with the cam allowing it to work. :drool::smoker:

Better than MA any way you slice it! :cheers:

 

 

 

Here I go derailing threads again. Back on topic now. Carry on!

Thanks. That '10 SS is right at 600RWHP with a Maggie blower. I was just loading it onto the trailer to head to the dyno for a tune after pullying down, bigger injectors, ZL1 fuel pump and super tensioner to hold the power.

Oh and that's my '97 k1500 I traded in for my '14 Sierra 2 weeks ago. LOVE them all. We are a GM house. '12 2500, '77 Vette, '10 Camaro, and now ''14 Sierra. Before the Sierra an k1500 there was a '99 s10 Blazer and before that a 350k mile '94 Yukon. Can't get enough!

Was the same here until I started getting a few lemons in the mid to early '00's. Our '00 Jimmy was the worst of them. Literally a check engine light every 3 days. Constant electrical problems and interior parts breaking. Was ridiculous. My '94 K1500 had 266k miles when I sold it, and still was running mint (engine was replaced around 186k - don;t know the history of the trans.). Had the OEM U-joints still in the shaft when I changed them at 220k miles! That's real impressive!

 

Sounds like you have the same setup that my buddy is shooting for. I can't wait to ride in it when it's done. Maybe he'll even let me drive it again ... :D

Here's a few from last weekend picking up my friend's 1939 Studebaker Commander. Second pic is truck with unloaded trailer, third pic is car loaded.

Only pic I have towing with the new truck. Haven't had a chance to put the boat behind it yet.

NICE Polaris! :thumbs:

 

I have yet to ride the new ones. I still have my trusty '05 Sportsman 800 - after 10 years it needed 4-figures worth of TLC out of the bank account this past year, but still runs great. Plowed probably 200 tons of snow with it this winter. Lately it's become more of a tractor than a recreational vehicle. MA is not very ATV friendly ... :nonod:

 

I need to take either a trip up north, or down south to Hatfield-McCoy.

Getting ready for vacation season!
Had to move the camper out front and give it a bath after sitting all winter.

Forgot to take a pic of my last haul ... so all I've got is a grainy surveillance cam picture of a picture.

 

First pic was from the end of '13 when I towed it here. 6.2 diesel - didn't run - sat 5 years +. Needed glow plugs + controller .. and who knows what else. Tranny was smoked (700R4 with TV cable flapping in the breeze under the hood not connected!!), and the front & rear diffs were mismatched ratios. I guess he figured he needed the 14 bolt rear .. but never even considered the fact it had to match the front! This truck was my neighbor's - it sat here for a year and a half. Glad to see it go, and so is he!

 

We had big plans for it ... but you can have all the plans in the world - it takes MONEY to make it happen. Oh well ... money back in the pockets instead.

    • Still looks like a rivet to me in the pics, I don't see a nut and none of the pics show the head of the screw. But if you says so.....
    • Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!  
    • From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

    • True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.
