Hi All - I am in a situation where I will need to park my 2008 GMC Sierra 2500HD at a self storage lot for 10-20 days at a time. It will be in an open air space not in a closed-in unit. Can anyone recommend some anti-theft measures to protect my wheels, spare tire, winch, KC lights, etc?

 

I see some Gorilla lug locks but would like to hear some recommendations for these or other options.

 

Thanks in advance,

John

just get insurance on it, and if anything happens, the storage is liable, but wheel locks are always a good idea. other than a chain or something i have no ideas for your winch

Thanks for the feedback DL. I agree insurance is a must and will cover the loss. However, anything that prevents the theft in the first place is preferred as I'm trying to make sure I have a drivable truck when I need it.

 

Thanks again!

If the winch and lights can be easily removed just take them off. Personally with the wheels I would just get a set of gorilla locks and full coverage (my deductable is $250). Ultimately if someone wants your truck or something on/in your truck they are gonna get it.

They are going to get or mess everything up trying.

      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

      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.
