How many miles on that one Zach?

190,000

I made it go away temporarily 1-2000 miles ago, but it's permanently back now.

Ahh ok, I guess I've got some time to do the AFM delete before things begin self destructing. Mine just turned 77k miles today.

I've been told by several people that I'm lucky it lasted this long. Said they see this happen between 90,000 & 110,000 more regularly.

Thanks for the info. I guess I'd better start spending some money on this thing ... as if I haven't already. :sick:

 

My brother has an EFI Live setup he wants to sell me ... but damn it's expensive ...

That's one of the ones I'm looking at. Definitely not cheap, but one of the ones to use for a Blackbear tune. Edited by ZachM1

Arthritis and my spinal problems, combined with lack if a 5 inch deep 18mm socket has taken its toll. I just got one spring compressed but need the socket for the top nut Tomorrow morning I'm waving the white flag and taking it to the nearby tire shop to have them swap the spring to the new assembly(compress the other spring and remove that friggin nut.) I'll rebuild myself and have them decompress and reinstall the nut, take the assembky back home and finish myself.

 

Oh, and my home AC is fllipping out. Probably going to order a new home AC :(

Yup my dads went out at 105k. Luckily we buy all our vehicles through this one dealership and they let him buy an extended warranty which covered half the cost of the repair

I want something obnoxiously loud that sounds like freedom. Basically I want something that will scare women, children, the elderly, and animals lol

Those friggin strut springs on the 07 up Silverados are INSANE. The wire size is fatter than anything I've ever seen for a half ton, and the spring tension is enormous. I have a heavy duty (but chinese) spring compressor that bent trying to compress mine, and it didn't flinch 1mm! Nobody around any automotive shops had a press that would handle these. Had to go to the dealer with the strut assemblies, and have them install the 2 Bilsteins for $90.

 

I'd imagine this spring under tension would be like a small IED ...

I'm not into loud exhaust unless I'm romping on it. Surprises passengers better that way.

I'm usually always romping on it anyways lol. I'm running my catalytic Y pipe with 3 feet of pipe right now so it's pretty close to stacks haha

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
