This is an 08. The only reason it sucked was that it wasnt mine. I hate driving other peoples cars. I worry about getting a ticket or in an accident in them

It was my aunts. I also rent my house from her. When she handed me the ford keys, i was told "if you cant bring it back in one piece, dont bother coming home"

Which is why I prefer on taking my truck as much as I can, even when it's my own family. Unfortunately the truck isn't up for road trips yet. Still have a few more things to check/replace first.

Changed my oil today. 7500 miles on regular M1 and was about 1.5 quarts low. So i am losing about 6 oz per 1000 miles

That's not bad. Wish I could say my oil consumption was even in the ballpark of that...

It is called paying $40 and having someone wash it at a local place

Have you forgotten where I live

I clayed the entire truck yesterday to remove some sort of overspray from it. It felt like coarse sandpaper. Took me about 2 hours and the biggest part of two clay kits to get it all off. It looks great now. What a job!

Pickup threw a 332 yesterday, so went and picked up new knock sensors. Turns out the rear had some water in it. Replaced both, everything is good now.

I need to find a decent performing tire in a 285/35R22. Looking mainly for dry traction. That also doesnt cost as much as the BFG G-Force KDW. Looking at the Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06. I also cant find a set of wheels in correct offset that makes me just want to click "Buy It Now"

Chris, have you looked at the Cooper tires? I have always had great luck with them and they wear like iron, usually 55,000 mile warranty. I have to run AT's but their highway tires are rated just as good.

Nitto also makes a good highway tire.

      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.
