Hi, My name is Marcelo Vasquez, I own a 2008 GMC Sierra 4WD SLE 5.3 and am new to the forum.

 

I tow a small (18 ft) toy hauler with either a 2001 BMR R1100RT or a 2005 Ducati ST3 in it.

 

I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico and love it!

Thanks for the welcome. guys.

 

By the way, yesterday evening I had an encounter with new age engineering: A cop stopped me and told me that one of my headlamps was out, passenger side.

 

I thanked him and stopped at Pep Boys on my way home to buy an H11 bulb, as prescribed by the manual (yes, I read it)

 

The destructions were to remove the air filter top to reach the socket.

 

HA!!!

 

After cutting my hand several times, I decided that if I didn't remove the whole airbox I wasn't going to reach the elusive socket. Took me about 20 minutes of trial and error to figure out how to do this.

 

This is an operation which is supposed to be able to be completed roadside, in the middle of the night!

 

Torx head screwdrivers???

 

Removal of airbox???

 

Are we outsourcing American engineering to Delhi?

 

:D

Yeah, changing out the headlight in the GMT-900's is ridiculous compared to the GMT-800's.

      2007 Silverado classic Cooling fan running

      By Mistycool · Posted

      I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?

      Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL

      Auto start stop disable

      Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Atlas · Posted

      Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
