Okay. Didn't think they were that rare though. I've had two trucks with them, and my brothers Sierra has one too.

More rare than the LQ9. The L33 was only in ext cab, 4wd trucks 2005-2007. And not all ext cab 4wd trucks got it

Wow, didn't know that. I'm getting a lot of listings on the two sites I've found them on. I guess if I do decide on one I'll have to identify them correctly.

And it may be called an L33, but you may in fact be getting a LM4. The LM4 is the aluminum 5.3 identical to its iron LM7 counterpart. The LM4 was in the Trailblazer, Rainier, Envoy, and SSR

Haven't done much other than get some gas for her. Been so busy with the weekly snow storms up here in NH i have probably 4 feet of snow in my yard right now.

I too am intrigued with the "laser wash".

 

Washed my truck and filled 'er up with petro. Nothing too exciting today.

Around here a "Laser Wash" is just a regular automatic car wash most are the brushless type. :jester:

When I replaced my DRL bulbs a couple of weeks ago they both worked for a few days. Then late last week the driver side quit working again. So last night I finally got the initiative to take a look at what is going on. The bulb was popped out of it's socket. Plugged it back in, just haven't tested it yet since it was dark last night when I was working on it.

Fixed my fuel cap cable not being long enough to hang on the hanger!!! The end of the plastic had caught in a bed seam and it was just long enough to unscrew and then hit the bed just below the fuel door. It was a pain to hold it while getting fuel and since it is sunny and 65 degrees today thought that I would fix that little problem, before it drops to 10 degrees and we get some of that up north weather!!! :jester:

    • I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !. 
    • Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.
    • Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!
    • I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.
    • The TCM has to be flashed before it can drive.   If you installed it the way it is, it has the OS (operating system/program) from the 2010 truck you got it from. That will not match with the VIN/OS pair that your 2013 truck has.   You can do the full install. Then tow it to a dealership and they can flash the trucks PCM/TCM with the latest program for your VIN.
