We have a son about to turn 2 so I definitely understand!

 

And I'm about to change the oil/filter with Castrol 5W-30 and the pf46e. It gives me more piece of mind this weekend when I'll add 300 miles or so as we go up north to constant freezing temps.

Can't wait to see it. Got a date night planned with the mrs tomorrow. Be nice to go out by ourselves for once. Terrible twos.......lol

Twin 2 year old boys.

 

Pretty much nothing scares me anymore.

Wow, the size difference. Anyone seen a C/K and new Canyon or Colorado side by side?

Truck doesn't get driven much these days. Today I just ran out to grab a few things I forgot when I did some shopping on Wednesday. Of course tonight it was crazy since everyone is freaking out over the storm. Because a foot of snow justifies people panic shopping to buy enough stuff to last a month right?

Here are the 2015 GMC's side by side.

I meant a 90 1500 and a 15 Canyon, for instance.

 

In that pix though, looks like the canyon might be bigger than a 90.

It easily could be.

lol i know but the best I could do was get that pic since we could already see how a K2 compared to the 90's chassis.

Karnut, you get tried of the pretty blue truck give me a call I think I would take it off your hands!!!! :jester:

I tend to trade or sell my toy every two or three years, I was trying to own one of everything . After 40 years I think I'm din with that. This ones a keeper. It would cost to much to duplicate , it has everything done to it you could do to a truck, and cost to much to duplicate.

Changed my oil on Saturday and washed my truck yesterday. And then it decided to rain today.

    • In the 6.6 gas thread, I added information in my fluid change thread about these gauges and temperatures. With very limited data, it so far looks like ~30 degrees difference between front and rear.
    • I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations. 
    • You don't want to become predictable now, do you? 😏
    • Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.
