What do you drive?

 

 

nothing at the moment, I sold my POS GM truck.

 

you drive nothing . not even a car . So you sold your truck to replace it with nothing . That means you dont have a job, and you are some kid that is being annoying or some older washed out guy that has no money and is always complaining about other peoples stuff that its not good enough and always thinks what is best and what he would do but you dont have even a truck. Its always poor losers that think they know everything lol or have all the answer lol .

 

 

:lol:

 

I meant I don't have a truck. We do have 2 cars.

Why even hang around? I too sold my POS Ford but you don't see me over there Trolling around. You sure you don't just miss driving a real truck... why else would you still be here???

 

 

Because I am not brand loyal to any brand. I know a LOT about GM trucks, specifically the GMT400/800/900 platforms. I would not rule out another GM truck, just not a GMT900. GM has a LOT to prove to me with the next gen. I may buy an F150, but I am debating waiting until the new gen comes out to see what improvements they made.

 

 

You got 2 years before that to happens. Every brand puts out a lemon or two. I myself had two F150's and both had transmission issue (02,05). I've been driving GM cars for a long time and it was about time to switch brands over on my truck. IMO Ford has the best looking truck out there... mostly referring to the 04-08 and pre 96. but if it can't hold up there is no point in wasting my mony on it. I put a transmission in my 2005 F150 last year and it only had 66K miles on it. That truck also had spark plug issues, fuel injector issues, and a laundry list of other crap that broke... in the firts 5K miles I had to have the entire sunroof assembly and headliner replaced. That was the end of my relationship with Ford.

 

Now, My sister and my wife's brother both have GMT900's as does 2 coworkers and none of them have had issues with theirs. Maybe you just had a bad truck. Either I would still think you would need something to drive..

I would sell a not so vital organ for a new GM truck :)

 

 

 

Well I don't really think the first kidney is vital. The second one on however..... :lol:

I am not condemning GMT900's based solely on my experience with mine. That would be stupid. I condemned them based on my experience along with my assessment of their build quality (or lack thereof) in general. Even outside of the many issues I had, the quality simply was not there. And most, if not all, of the issues I experienced are fairly common. GM dropped the ball big time on this gen truck, and it is somewhat understandable (but not forgiveable) due to the state of their corporation during development.

again with the why even hang around. I can tell you first hand that I learned a lot on the Ford forums. There were always someone posting the same issues I was experiencing... That to me doesn't sound good about any vehicle. I don't see no where new the same amout of post for problems with these trucks here or on the other forum I am on.

 

So if you are not going to forgive them why not just move one. Who knows, maybe you are just 15 or something. lol eithway good luck with your journey :seeya:

Sorry, I am not going anywhere. Why do you and the others get all butthurt and make juvenile accusations just because my opinion doesn't match yours anyway?

 

You guys all need to grow up!

 

Why does everyone keep feeding the troll :dunno: If you don't listen/respond, they just go away :dunno:

 

 

 

The irony here is that the butthurt people here attacking me are disturbing the site (which is by definition "trolling") more so than I ever have.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
