Well *cough*...There *cough* MAY BE a home-video floating around some of the seedier portions of the internet of SOMEBODY gettin' busy with a beautiful ginger-headed lady in the cab of an '89 Chevrolet Cheyenne with The Offspring playing in the background while the truck was sitting in a busy San Diego airport parking lot.

 

MAYBE.

 

Not that I would know anything about it though.

 

But it sure sounds like a pretty good time...You know...If something like that *cough* were to have happened....To...Uh...Me.

Best memory is kind of tough but my worst memory stands out like a sore thumb. Not proud of this, and it was in my buddy's truck not mine. We were out driving around, drinking beer, on a Friday night waiting to head over to a party that started later.

 

We were starting to feel pretty decent when my buddy decided it was time to lay down a burnout. Mind you, he has done "a few" with the '03 Z71, 4" suspension on 33's, and has prior to this night bombed a tranny.

 

Long story short lights one up, starts to get it going pretty good sitting there, then BOOOOOM! Sounded like the bed fell off the back. Grenaded the rear end. So here we are he is 20, I'm 21, I obviously bought the beer, and now were stuck. Police roam the back roads in this town very often, especially at night on weekends, so I expected jail time.

 

Buddy came with his dually, we pulled the drive shaft, and got it home. How we didn't get caught I have no clue.

Best and worst are all in one. Had me and a buddy and 4 girls (back when i was in highschool) in the truck which was a '01 Chevy z71 leveled with 33" federal mudders. They said something about going mud riding so I went out to a place called the 'Drop Zone' around my home town. The drop zone was a big area that the army used to use to practice dropping jeeps/cargo/supplies out of planes.

 

Well it had been raining for about 2 weeks straight and I wasn't my first time in the mud. I knew to keep steady pressure on it and don't do all the stuff "kids" usually like to do like fish tail it and goose it. Well I hit a bit of a snag when a tree was fallen across the road where I was driving. No problem I'm just gonna turn around... Well I get turned around by backing up a little then pulling off the road into a field. I felt a little spin so I goosed her to try and get it out. Poor decision. I sunk the ole chevy pretty good. You couldn't see my tires at all and I had 2" of mud on the inside of my truck. I called buddies to come pull me out. Another '01 Chevy had no luck because I was angled away from where they could pull me safely from. I called a buddy who had just gotten a brand new 2500 Dodge with the Cummins and was dying to try it out. So he came and finally got me out. 5 1/2 hours later, 4 tow hooks broken, and 1 chain broken.

 

Oh and I was also right beside a big red sign that said "No vehicles allowed off of the road"

Worst; Pulling into Canadian Tire to go look around (if you don't know what canadian tire is, it's like wal-mart for the handy-man. Sells everything except cloths and food. auto parts, electrical, etc) truck was running fine, as usual. So I didn't find anything I liked, so I went back outside to leave and go home. Turn the key...nothing. Dead. Thought the battery was dead, but I still had power to everything and the volt meter was reading 14v. Starter died, so I had to get Canadian Tire to repair it (they have automotive bays as well). $450, had to take out a credit card to pay for it.

 

Best memory? It started out as a bad memory. It was winter and I was going down a back road. I passed the road I wanted to turn on so I went to turn around. I thought the ditches were high, so I pulled into the ditch a bit but turns out the snow was just high up. My rear end slid in a bit, so I was kind of sideways in the ditch. I swore I was stuck for good, but I kept trying. Forward, reverse, wheel turning side to side. I was just about to give up and go down the road to a family friend and ask if he could pull me out but some how I managed to get out. I still don't know how my read end was burried in snow. The left side was all the way up to the window, the right was up to the fender. On the front the left side was up to the fender and about half way up the rim on the right side. Some how I managed to slide my rear end to the point where my front end got traction and I guess the front pulled everything out. I think.

 

It was just awesome because it made me feel like nothing would stop my suburban (except dead starters)

 

 

So far no real memories in my new Sierra, good or bad. I guess the first bad is sinking in mud, and needing to get towed out. Never had to get towed in the Burb, but first time I go offroading in the new truck I get stuck in the mud. At least it was another GMC that pulled me out, didn't have to swallow my pride and let a ford pull me out :thumbs:

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
