Installed the new brake rotors, and did an oil change. I picked up a new gasket and gear oil for the rear differential, but didn't get to that today.c3f0b6007415dbaf5a139093db3c7af9.jpgf61da05f49704b81987eac766cbe67c9.jpg

WTF! Has it been changed before?

I've seen posts of guys having to get towed back from test drives because the factory forgot to fill.

 

Whoops?

Hauling with big red 2013 LGH. Much more driveable truck than LMM

Only have one wd hitch arm on, electrical box in way on other side....not the first time one of these factories have mounted something in the way.

 

Hooks on this thing are huge.

don't have a clue if it has been or not. 2005 truck. Bought it in 2011 and so far drove it 60k miles. Never checked fluid before. It has 125k miles on it.

Unhooked from a trailer last night, set the adapter plug on the bumper, forgot it was there and opened the tailgate to put my hitch in the bed. Got a nice little dent now. Paintless dent guy just looked at it over lunch and said no biggie. Thank God, I was sick...

Damn Red squirrels.

 

GM wanted $162 from new hood insulation. Dad had his 2013 hit also. Nowhere near as bad. The 2013 new hood insulation is $65. Just reused his old one.

Put a good spraying of Squirrel Stop, mostly peppermint oil, on a engine bays.

Looks like someone forgot to tighten the pan bolts, or cooler line - left a nice puddle in the lot there ... :noway:

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      The BORA 3/8" spacers arrived yesterday along with the extended lug nuts. I got the front wheels changed out today, but was overheated and covered in sweat so bad, I figured getting both front wheels done was a win, and took a cool shower. Hopefully, I'll go out tomorrow morning before it gets into the 80+ temps and do the backs. After getting the first wheel snugged up, I backed out one of the lug nuts then hand turned to count threads. I believe I stopped counting around 12-13, so I think I'm good there.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Atlas · Posted

      My fullsize truck is averaging over 26mpg so I'm pretty happy with the increased fuel economy targets. When I had my gas Silverado (2020 5.3) it was averaging 21. Again, for a fullsize truck, that's very different from the 12-15 these things used to get 30 years ago.   Whine all you want, increased MPG is a good thing.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I think an OBD-first proof is probably the right next step. I agree that the value is not the hardware box by itself. The marketable part would be the software: always-on capture, baseline learning, event reduction, system-specific reports, and alerts. Also agreed that if an OBD device is always plugged in and has local storage, it should not miss the event in the same way that a scanner plugged in after the fact would. The only thing I would not want to assume yet is that an ELM327-class device gives all the late-GM data needed at the rate needed. Standard OBD live data, DTCs, freeze frame, Mode 6, VIN, and calibration information are definitely the right starting point. GDS2 also proves that a lot of useful ECM data can be viewed through the DLC without needing a DTC first. The question I need to test is whether the data needed for a useful GM V8 event report is actually available through the DLC, and at a useful sample rate: - misfire counts / roughness by cylinder - AFM/DFM state - oil pressure and oil temperature - fuel trims - voltage / reset context - U-codes and communication events - calibration / software information - whether these are standard PIDs, enhanced DIDs, Mode 6 data, GDS2-only data, or not available So I think the right benchmark is: 1. Build the OBD-only version first. 2. Keep it plugged in and logging locally. 3. Compare it against GDS2 / freeze frame / HP Tuners or another higher-end logger. 4. Measure which parameters are available and at what update rate. 5. Only justify ECM-side hardware if it captures useful evidence the OBD version cannot. So you may be right: the consumer product might simply be an always-plugged-in OBD event recorder with much better reporting. A question for you: when you say ELM327 devices can already deliver all the data needed, do you mean generic OBD Mode 01 data only, or GM enhanced data as well? For a useful GM V8 report, would generic OBD data be enough, or would you expect the tool to include enhanced items like misfire by cylinder, AFM/DFM state, oil pressure/oil temp, U-codes, and calibration information?
