I see this all the time and can literally tell you who will get stuck just by looking at them.. an excursion decides to pull a jeep out the exit hill and of course gets stuck.. i cant tell you how many times this happened in front of me today

Drove her the last 2 days after a brake line on the daily driver(dad's old 99 Lesabre) let go. Talk about a pucker factor moment. Thankfully, I had grass to swerve onto and avoid going through the car in front of us.

Installed my GMPP muffler and SSBC big bite rotors last week. Also installed my AMP power steps last night.

 

Washed the truck this morning. Its been filthy for the past 2 weeks due to rain almost everyday, and there is a chance everyday for the next week but I had to lol.

Typical weekend of knocking out the honeydo list. Trash/recycling, gassed up the truck and gas can for the mower, move this here, no put that there. Then a family outing for a drive around town for dinner & dessert.

On Saturday morning I installed my new steps on the truck

http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=146225

Then I went for dinner with the wife a kid, picked up a few people after that ans drank a whole lot of beer and play beer pong for the first time. Everyone like the new steps so that made my day then today I washed the truck and used some quick detailer.

Nothing with my truck, I'm still in Saudi Arabia. But the engineer who has been driving my coworker and I from the hotel to the jobsite stopped for fuel today. Here, fuel is 0.60 Riyals per liter, or about 2.40 Riyals per gallon. It takes 3.75 Riyals to get $1 USD so that means premium is about 61 cents per gallon. Regular is 43 cents/gal. Quite a few fullsize GM SUVs here, mostly 900s. A few of the 900 pickups too. Tons and tons of Hilux trucks and ones from Suzuki and Mitsubishi. The military has some seriously awesome 2-door Series 70 Toyota Land Cruisers. The Series 70s were sold as 4-doors here for a short while and are awesome rigs- front, center and rear diff locks, good I6 engine and the short wheelbase of the 2-door makes them nimble little things. I've also seen at least 3 generations of the Caprice here and I really wish GM would hurry up and sell me one. :lol: I know the SS is coming but it will likely be a very well equipped model and I won't be able to afford it. Here, they can be had like a mid-range Impala- cloth seats, simple stereo but with RWD and a 6.0 V8! :D

 

Also seen a very nice Lambo and tonight a Rolls Royce. Sorry, no pics. I left my phone at home as it would not work here.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      Sugar Bears 2015 GMC Terrain SLE-2 2.4 AWD

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
