I purchased a 1987 Silverado Saturday. Decided to drive it this week and give it a good shake down, as well as, get some new tires on the truck. The tires were dry rotted, that was on the truck and get it lined up.

 

Well on my way back to work from dinner, I got slightly crinkled up, a bit...... Well, I guess I will get it painted sooner than I thought.

 

Mind the finger in the way on a couple of the pictures... Ooops, I could not see the screen on my phone when I was taking the pictures.

 

The car that struck me was first struck by another vehicle..............

Solid and strong, built to last forever, but no longer exist. That collision will cost too much damage for the new Silverado but not for 1987 model. luckly no body injuried.

That sucks dude!

 

Never fails...I got a big dent in my door less than 4 hours after I bought my TBSS. Almost totaled the Avalanche 15 minutes after taking the keys too.

 

That's a good looking truck BTW! :)

luckily it wasn't new! or it'd be a write off

 

 

nah, my job is to evalute this. I would say that if it was a GMT800/GMT900, looking around $3500-$4800 in front end damage, assuming that the airbags didnt pop.

 

Try getting rearended by an by a "tank"....can we say total loss.

 

The key is that the front end has a lot of "open" space for things to go crunch. In the rear, not so much. Had a case where a customer rearended another one ('10 TL rearended a '10 Altima - both has under 50 miles on the odo) and the impact speed was 6 MPH. total damage to the '10 Altima was $4700 (rear frame rails were bent) and $625 for a repaint of the front bumper cover on the '10 TL...sucked.

 

 

Wouldn't be willing to sell your truck would you :) ?

thats insane..... i bent the frame in the front on my 1999 3500 dually after hitting a PT cruiser in the front left fender at 60mph and the PT was thrown about 70 feet into a soccer field.

 

my 1500 right now has been in to accidents in the past year. never any frame damage. but its kinda nice getting dent/scratch free parts. only body parts that have not been replaced. rear bumper, tailgate, left side bed panel, left ext and driver doors. and roof i guess.

Yeah, it is not that bad... Just pissed me off pretty good... What the pictures do not show was the Oldsmobile, was pissing green fluid and red fluid...... it busted the radiator....

 

Yes, no body got hurt. This is an intersection I have seen A LOT OF WRECKS at... It is all ways really busy. And they should put a red light at it, instead of the 4 way stop.

 

Yeah, NO, not for sale. Sorry... At least not right now... Give me a year at least..

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      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."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      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.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
