Got an oil change today and topped off all the fluids. Filled her up as well.

 

All this dam'd rain keeps messing me up when I'm trying to put my light bar on!

 

All i got to do is drill to holes, hook up to my battery, and run the wire to my cab and ill be set!

 

 

Also, going to try and bleed the brakes on my K5 tomorrow to see if that will fix my spongy break problem.

Just pulled this guy in a 2WD Colorado out of a ditch.

 

Doesn't he know you can't go ditch diving in a 2wd, some people. Lol

Wet, single lane country roads you can slide off easy when there's an oncoming car.

Got condensation in both headlamps on the passenger side, pissing me off

Weird cause it didn't happen until I pulled my housing out to do the hid conversion. Had it for 3 weeks before that and no issues, and its been relatively warm and slightly humid around here

Drove around with the knee panel off yesterday and found my buzzing sound. The framework the mini fuse block attaches to was slightly vibrating against another piece it's spot welded to. So I shimmed it with some felt and now it's quiet!

Four wheel drive is highly recommended for ditch diving lol. I don't recommend going 50 mph though lol, learned that the hard way.

I think I may have that exact same problem, going to check it out tomorrow. Also I put on a new muffler today, sounds a lot louder than the stock muffler. Somehow broke a leaf spring shackle today too.....

Well then it's likely a poor seal on the bulb to the housing or if this kit is one that requires you to pull the caps off the lights (do the new trucks even have that?) you're gonna get moisture in there. Quality control on those is non-existent.

It's very easy, if you remove the knee panel you can see everything. If I tapped on the right hand side of the block, the part visible in that pic, it would recreate the sound. I just shimmed in between the metal framework and the plastic outer shell.

I think I used too small of a o ring for the high beams. I pulled the housing and let them set inside the house for 24 hours. No moisture as of yet [emoji106]

    • 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.
    • 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
    • Looks like the entire state is burning. 😬
    • 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.
