I was just looking over my controls. I didnt realize till now, but next year I will mark ten years on the forum! I have to say looking back that this forum has given me lots of great ideas and advice. I started here in year 2001 with my 1999 sierra ext cab 5.3. Then I owned a 2003 Sierra cc 8.1, 2007 duramax cc, and now my 2008 sierra cc!

 

Looking back and some self-awareness now.......My only personal advice to all is to be patient! I see many of us get antsy whenever GM produces a new, more powerful truck (which they do every year). I doubt the power wars with Ford or Dodge will ever end. Just dont break the bank trying to keep up, out-do or wanting to be the coolest. If your truck is affordable, adequate and been reliable, keep it!

 

Thanks fellas! Hope for another ten years!

I have been here since it started on the ezboard forum in late 99 before I even had my 2000 :lol:

 

I know it says member #56 but thats when we switched over. I think I was #6 or something like that.

 

This forum has definitely come a long way.

It's been a fun ride! :lol:

 

 

I remember when I was a smug 15 year old kid, joined up, I knew of alot of the guys on the team from another website which we all migrated from (Different story, for a different time :lol: ) asked if I could be part of the team, and voila!

 

 

Kinda dissapointing 10 years has gone by, and I've only been a Gm-Truck owner for all of 3 months (I'm working on fixing that! :) ). But I've been a fan of GM-Trucks the whole ten years, that's been reason enough for me to stay on board. (this place is kinda addicting!)

 

 

Happy 10 years, GM-TC Fam! :D:D:cool:

I was a member of the Ford 6.0 litre diesel forum. LOL

 

That truck caused me to switch to Chev and gas.

 

NO MORE DIESELS FOR ME..

 

That experience ruined me for anything that even

      2013 2500HD 6.0L intermittent no crank no start

      By linc45bn · Posted

      I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

      No one will care for you like you care for you. Do what you can for as long as you can. IMHO of course.

      GMC 1500 Illuminated Front Grill Emblem REPLACEMENT.

      By Peoplemvr · Posted

      Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug

      PS: Here's pic of the 2014 wheels I'd like to run when it's not winter. Stuck my finger around new wheel caliper setup. Very little clearance. I suspect these won't fit, but won't know for sure till I try.   Edit: And my first mod. Stubby antenna from the old truck.
