Can't buy one because I have no money. Having this transmission rebuilt is going to wipe out what I have. Nothing but ramen for the next 2 weeks. Don't have the luxury of 2 vehicles

I know I haven't been around in a while, what happened to the Ford?

Ford isn't mine. I helped rebuild it

I feel your pain on this.

How's the K2? Better than your 900?

I think each truck has been better than the last. I will say that if I had a way to know that my dad was going to pass and I'd have his Lesabre to drive, I would've kept my '99. That truck was solid. Looking back now, I prefer the looks of it vs. the '08, but the '08 had more creature comforts than the '99, and the '99 was an extended cab vs. a crew for the '08. Now the '16 is a gem. Way more bells and whistles than I needed despite being a middle of the road model. She gets great mileage(5.3 vs. the 6.0 I had in the '08), rides great, looks great, and is a joy to drive. The wife's ride turns 5 in another few weeks and only has 36k on it, so I've been trying to take that to work as much as I can and keep the truck in the garage at least on rainy days.

Did a bunch of clusters today, when it rains it pours. One guy was a real A$$ too, the type of guy that makes you want to quit. Then did 2 more for humans and I feel much better now. Was about to call it a day when an other guy called.

This is a cluster I did when I first started doing this 5 years ago. I had replaced burnt bulbs and repaired the PRND321 display back then. Today I replaced all the stepper motors and bulbs with LEDs. I was sad to hear the previous owner had passed. He left his truck to his son in law.

Also saw in the obituaries the owner of the first cluster I ever fixed also passed, he was 83. He owned a 2004 Impala.

I miss the seats in my gmt800. Liking my 900 but it's getting time for a new one. 2019 can't get here soon enough. I want a CC std bed. Short bed is limiting room especially now with baseball season. Don't want to spend money on a cover or cap so I added a job site box for now.

Suggested retail over $48,000

Today somebody gave me an HVAC control unit out of an 04 Sierra W/T. Of course I took it apart and changed the bulbs, they were all burnt but 2. Replaced them with white LEDs. I think it looks good, you be the judge. It doesn't have the rear defog button like most higher end trucks.

Anyone ever do ball joints on '14 Silverado 1500?

 

I'm curious as to what I'm in for here ...

Aren't they the same as previous generations

That's what I was thinking, but you never know anymore ....

I've done uppers on my truck. It's easiest to just replace the entire control arm for those, the lowers I would just press out. All in all, a very easy job to me
