295 each. You saw the normal price in previous pic. I figured to get them on sale while i can. Should perform decent out here and drop effective ratio to what it was stock.

It's crazy what tires cost now. The tires on both my truck and the Cruze cost more than the wheels.

Oh yea that definitely doesn't help either. I think 4 of my Coopers were $670 with the rebate. 6ply LT265 70 R17, and i think the wheels were like $473 lol!

Anyone else have the center console latch break? Go to GM and be told have to replace whole lid. Then search ebay/amazon and find a replacement for 20.

I ordered a replacement latch off Ebay for $6 shipped. Took only about 10 minutes to change it out. Looked it up on YouTube and saw how easy it was, I should have bought more latches.

I have also ordered the replacement latch from ebay.

I would imagine it's probably the same one you bought because the price was the same.

I actually replaced the OEM's in both of my trucks after cracking, they don't seem to last.

The ones I received through the ebay seller seem to be of higher quality and are heavy duty compared to the OEM part.

The replacement latch should last a long time, longer than OEM I hope.

The first time I broke the latch in my 2008 I replaced it with an OEM latch I received at my dealership, got it free of charge. Unfortunately it didn't last so I searched around and found the heavier duty latches on ebay for a fractuion of the OEM cost so I ordered a few. I expect them to last but if not, I am not going to go broke ordering more latched at the cost around $5-$6. GM charges way too much for little parts.

Got a hold of 15 qts of Dexron VI transmission fluid...free. So last night I pulled the plug on the pan and changed about 4 qts out. I'll let that run for awhile and then do a pan drop, filter change. Another step closer to getting this truck road trip ready. Also topped off the front diff, eventually I'll need to replace the axle seals but it doesn't leak too badly so I may not bother fixing it right away.

Pulled the trigger on these finally. Going to install them, and replace my rear block with a set of helper leafs I have laying in my garage.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
