I used MSD wires on my 2003 with NGK plugs too (no idea what type now, too long ago) and it was fine. Only reason I chose those over OE stuff was I had a Summit gift card.

NGK makes most of the GM Iridum plugs. I got ticked when I paid the dealer for plugs for my shortstar back in the day and it turns out they were EXACTLY the same as the NGK at the auto parts store for half the price. Gm had given them their own PN on the box, but you open them up and they are labeled NGK with an NGK PN.

Only $10 more for the wires compared to my local parts store but they were also shipped to my house overnight for free. Gotta love that Amazon prime

They caused an at idle misfire on my truck

My Bosch Iridium plugs and Bosch wires I believe are the culprits of my misfire at idle and when the truck is under load at a constant mid range rpm (3k+). Did some researching and turns out a lot of people have had problems with Bosch plugs. Figured they would be good cause their tools are bulletproof and most of their other parts are pretty high quality IMO

Also just ordered an ACDelco fuel filter. Might as well do everything while it's down. Needed one anyways. I haven't put one in since my motor swap

I dont have a filter

Yours in the tank with the fuel pump?

 

Got it all buttoned up and man does thing have a knarley shift. I kept the trans firmness stock just to see what it's like and it shifts harder/ faster than my last tranny with the line pressure bumped up. If I get on it and it shifts 1 to 2 it will chirp tires. Guess I gotta watch the lead foot now haha

Well not even 12 hours after I finished my truck an owl flew into my passenger tow mirror and broke the plastic and broke the top stud of it off. Oh well, shit happens. And I have another set so I'll live

I fixed mine for the first time in years just to find out it had a leak...

      Differential covers

      By RJL1 · Posted

      I just brought home a 2020 GMC 1500 Denali.  She has 53K miles on her and I want to change out the fluids over the next few weeks.  I see the diff covers don't have drain plugs.  Any suggestions where I can pick up front and rear diff covers with drain plugs?   Thanks,   Bob

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Well, the dealership got the compressor and installed it. Air at the vents seems nice and cold as it should be. The service manager said the repair has a two year warranty and unlimited mileage. Hopefully I don't have to use it. The dealership i went to was one where I bought my 2014 half ton silverado. In 10 years and 168k miles on the truck anything I needed done and two small recalls they were always very good to me. Not a huge dealer either. I think they treat people well because they want you to come back. I have dealt with a different dealer that was too big to care about an individual. Just my two cents.

      Multigate Connector Difficult to Connect Fully

      By Another JR · Posted

      Hi All, I operate my 2021 3500 SLT most of the time with the tailgate off and in a crate because I have a slide-in camper. However, at least once a year, I take the camper off and put the tailgate back on. Recently I installed the tailgate, but had a hard time getting the connector bail to swing to the fully latched position. The connector seems to fully seat, and everything works, but the bail doesn’t swing to fully latched position.  It swings almost there but stops and I am afraid to push it any harder.    Does anyone have any advice on cleaning or lubrication or anything else I should be doing?  i know how to properly operate the connector. During the time the tailgate and connector are off, i have a double plastic bag over the truck connector secured with rubber bands to keep it clean, but it still had some dust in it this time when I blew it out with compressed air. I didn’t want to spray it with anything other than air without doing some research. Thanks.

      There are a lot of spammer's that do that, quote something and add some commentary to make it seem legit, but modify the quoted text a bunch making sure when posted it's long enough to be "click to expand", and either immediately insert a spam link, or come back after some time and edit it to add the spam link.

      Hello @jaszr2 Do you have a link for the item? I put a replacement bumper on my truck and consequently had to relocate the shutters. I studied on them a while, and figured if you left a couple key blades, you could get most of the airflow with probably no throwing codes.
