I've had my auto zone Duralast gold battery coming up on 4 years now in December. Still strong!

The Yota just crossed the 6 year mark on its original battery. The terminals look like they are covered in moss. I keep saying I'll clean it properly when the battery dies(my 6's lasted 4 1/2 years), but it just won't. Probably do it this week. I think I'll just replace it before winter preemptively.

Scared myself, been on a road trip last two weeks. First time on this trip and only the second time ever the low fuel light came on! I checked gas buddy and found a place with cheap fuel so off I go. When I left hotel it said I had used 32.7 gallons from my 36 gallon tank went about 10 miles to the closest station sweating bullits the whole way put 34.5 gallons into the tank never ever going to do that again!!

Drove mine to work. Have a squeak in my new leaf springs on the drivers side. I'll have to fix that at some point.

Do you have the regular rubber bushings or polyurethane bushings? The polyurethane ones have a special grease to prevent them from squeaking. Found that out the hard way, had to uninstall the springs and press the bushings back out to put the grease in there. No more squeak now!

Changed out the NGK TR5 V-Power spark plugs on the 2002 Silverado today. The plugs had 40k on them, truck miles are 148K. They still looked good but I had a set of AC Delco Iridiums on the shelf so I put them in. Now I should be good for at least 100k miles.

I went a little crazy with the anti-seize on the last install. I didn't put that much on this time. I have to say they came out really easy. :lol:

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
