I have a 5" rotary buffer I got from Meijer that does ok and an Adams drill set for scratches but you can't use the drill set on large areas. I might just do a complete buffing and sealing soon but I need a bigger better buffer.

Drove up to Onondaga Dragway, reopened for the first time since like 1971. Of course it rained this morning so I poked around for like an hour while the drying trucks did their thing before giving up and heading back home. Kind of a bust but nice to see a track with lots of history open back up. Various groups have been fighting the town and property owners since 1985 to make this happen.

Drove to Chambersburg. While we were there the Wife and I walked around the GM Dealer. Had a lot of new trucks, and a few other things. The black A/T Sierra was just under $49K. Back in 08 when I was looking at an 09 A/T it cost just under 40K so the prices have definitely shot up. Idk who GM is trying to kid on the whole "K2 trucks will be priced similar to the GMT900s thing".

I like your truck a lot. I pulled mine beside a new Silverado at the dealer while I was there, and I prefer the GMT900 hands down. Now with the Sierra, that's a different story.

Had fun showing off my amber conversion last night. Also scanned a G6 (bad cat, I guessed that one). Scanned a Buick as well and came up with a random misfire.

A bad cat will screw over a 4 cyl G6. My mother's wouldn't get over 40 mph.

I this one is a V6. It still has power, but I'm guessing it'll need a new cat.

I had my oil changed with M1 EP and a 4.2L TrailBlazer M1 filter. I went 10,000 on this oil since May and the shop owner said it still looked good.

Send some in to Blackstone, they can tell you everything you would possibly want to know about your oil.

I may next oil change.

 

I am going to try a DIY spray in liner. And decided as I fix the side of my truck, I am going to debadge/demold.

 

I need to find the little plastic pieces for behind my tailgate handle so it will work again

      Joke Thread

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      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)

      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.
