hey mike i drove up that hill you got stuck on in reverse today LOL!

 

 

 

I don't care, I've spent the past two days wandering downtown St. Ignace drooling over incredible cars and trucks. :lol:

 

Man did the show bring out the weirdos though! Had BC Pizza for lunch/dinner (we ate at like 4:00 after a late breakfast, so call it what you want :lol:). Holy crap do they make good food! They have locations all over northern MI I guess.

 

Got the long drive south tomorrow whenever I get get my butt in gear then Monday it's back to reality with work. I leave for the Saudi trip Thursday. Total travel time going out will be like 19 hours, slightly less coming back because of better flights though I do have to fly out of Chicago so even once I get home it's 3-4 hours more driving.

 

Fun fact I learned studying travel guides for this trip- in some parts of the middle east, red GMCs are extremely popular because it is believed they do not get stuck in the sand dunes. Not making that up!

I have stock Bridgestones and she has a thread somewhere about finding a smoking deal on some barely used BFG ATs.

Drove over 1000 kms in 24 hours to Edmonton and back. The ol man suffered a major heart attack, took a day off of work to make sure everything was okay. Last 24 hours have been crazy. Need sleep up for 4am tomorrow for work.

It was a good time, too bad ya couldn't make it. It was obviously my first time but the crew I went up with has been coming up for a long time and this was the best turnout they've seen in ages.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      on-wheel cellphone control: 2026 1500 WT (2.7L 4WD std cab)

      By newdude · Posted

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.

      2026 TurboMax L3B 2.7L: AFM/DFM present/disablable? [2026 Silverado 1500WT: 4WD RC RB 2.7L]3GCNKAEK9TG345558

      By newdude · Posted

      Yes.  The 2.7 Turbomax has Active Fuel Management.  It is NOT the same as the V8s.  Totally different system.     Here is an article from GM when the 2.7 came out explaining the cylinder deactivation and the valve lift system.  Starts at the section called "SCS Valvetrain":   New Turbocharged 2.7L 4-Cylinder Engine Powers Full-Size Trucks – TechLink         This is an internet myth going around.  It was alleged that some 5.3s had this mystical 8th digit of the VIN as an "E" which somehow meant it had a new one year only 5.3 that didn't have DFM.  The writer of said article and the person that made the claim conveniently can't count because they posted the VIN.  The 8th digit was a "D" which meant its still the 5.3 with DFM.  The 9th digit of the VIN was an "E" and the 9th digit isn't the engine code.  At all.
