I don't know if having an extinguisher in the car is just a law in Saudi but as you can imagine from the piccie, this really gets in the way for the passenger. Any ideas of alternative locations, preferrably with locating holes ?

i would either re-work that bracket or make my own to run the extinguisher parallel to the front of the seat and put it on the drivers side as the driver usually has his/her legs stretched out. basically it would be under your knees. or some how attach it to the front of the jump seat or the bottom of the dash in front of the jump seat ( i assume the jump seat never gets used like in my truck.

Never thought of that one. I go on quite long drives from Riyadh to Jubail in cruise usually so I'll check out the positioning for when I'm moving my legs around.

Yep, the jump seat never gets used, a total and utter waste of space. I am hoping to get a console and do a swap out.

I'd move it over and mount it to the tranny hump.

 

Yeah, sorry should have said in the first post. I am hoping to get hold of a console and swap out the jump seat.

They sell a fire extinguisher for the Silverado on gmaccessorieszone.com but don't see one listed for the Yukon. On a side note, anyone know where this is mounted in the picture? I don't have any little cubby like that on my truck, at least not that I have been able to find yet.

Heck half of America could not use a fire extinguisher if there life depended on it. They would waste the entire extinguisher and then be required to piss on the fire to put it out.

 

I have one under my back seat in my truck. My antiques have LARGE one in the trunk and a smaller one behind the front seat on the drivers side.

 

Where did you get that bracket???? Is that A GM Bracket? or Aftermarket?

I think it must be a GM bracket, as it came already installed the car from new.

Does it have to be in the front seat area? If not, I'd move that sucker all the way to the back of the truck.

 

And nope...Nobody here is required to have one in their vehicle except on some race tracks, depending on the class you're racing in.

 

 

Heh...Mount it on the ceiling. :thumbs:

No, I don't think it has to be in the front. I never use the 3rd row of seats, so I think somewhere in the back is gonna be best. I just didn't know if anyine knew of any locating points, without having to start drilling etc.

id say right behind the jumpseat/console area

 

 

That could be a possibility. As the bracket could possibly just bolt straight onto the fixing bolt at the back of the front seat. A little fettling of the bracket just might do it.

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Deadwood · Posted

      I bought belts and pulleys for my '20 L5P at Rock Auto a couple years ago. I have used them for many years, and almost always save significant money, especially when I buy maintenance stuff ahead of time.   They carry many OEM parts, which is all I use unless an aftermarket is shown to be same/superior, or if it is an insignificant part or unavailable OEM part anywhere else. RA is usually lower priced, often by a bunch, but parts are sometimes unavailable or out of stock, and I do shop around and sometimes find better prices at other sites.   Be aware that you pay shipping, and if you buy multiple items and they are coming from different warehouses, the shipping can kill the advantage. Planning ahead is best if possible.   If you have a transmission service in the near future, check out their OEM (AC Delco ULV) fluid, usually MUCH less than anywhere else.

      10L1000 anyone with High Mileage ? I hate Damocles....

      By Deadwood · Posted

      New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      By swathdiver · Posted

      At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.
