This is why I love a standard bed. 8 for board fits with tailgate closed

Watched a 2019 Silverado still with temp tags on it get towed away.  Went into limp mode and the owner pulled into my church parking lot.  400 miles.  He was not happy.  I wanted to say that it went into limp mode because it recognized how ugly it was, but I kept my mouth shut.

Can't seem to shake the moisture in the left fog lamp, even with running the fogs WAY more than usual. It's starting to bead and leave trails, so I broke down and ordered a new set. Will definitely be looking at the old one to see why there's an issue. Since I'll have my front bumper off in about a month for front end realignment following my bodyshop trip, I went ahead and got new bezels. Kinda roughed up the old ones by removing the fogs but leaving the bumper on. 

 

New wheels, new tires, new center caps, new TPMS sensors, new air dam, new lower bumper skid plate, he's gonna be a spiffy dude once all the bodywork is complete and I add my new parts!

 

Local shop checked my AC system and there no refrigerant left LOL, so I can proceed with parts swapping there as well. Hopefully won't be too bad, though I'm not looking forward to draining the old coolant.

Did my road trip to NC the week before last, truck hit 96k.  Might be at 100k by the end of the year.  Bought a pneumatic grease gun so I can grease my own zerks, trying to do it with the manual one I've got while laying on my back was a pain.  The one my tire shop has seems to always be broken so I might as well just do it myself.  Stealerships don't even seem to know that I have them let alone how many and where they're at.

 

On the way home from work tonight helped a kid change a tire, looked like tread separation.  Car tires are so much easier to change, even if I didn't have my air impact still would have been nothing to take it off manually.  Did have to use a the breaker bar on one lug though, I think the my tank was out of air.  Odd thing was there were 2 different size lugs, 2 of one size and 2 of another.

 

I think I'm going to replace my engine air filter, as far as I know it's still the original one.  Wonder what it's supposed to replaced at.  Other than being a bit discolored it seems fine.  Think I read 25k it's supposed to replaced.

Took a few hours to empty out, clean, and reorganize my truck box/tool box.  Even though I know I have a lot of stuff in there, pulling it all out and putting it back in really emphasizes how much I have in there.  Also go t the results of my first oil analysis today. Engine is doing well and so is the oil.

Cleaned driver's seat before pulling it out to replace the seat cushion. Also vacuumed where the seat usually sits, lots of food under the seat lol. I guess that's what happens when Fatty is driven by a fatty. Figured out why the rear of the seat didn't move anymore, the plastic worm gear broke a tooth. Need to get the seat back together and take a trip to the junk yard tomorrow. If that doesn't pan out I could pay $50+ to replace the 2 plastic gears with brass instead. Not sure if I want to pay that much. Of course you can't buy just the plastic gears. If anyone knows where I can get just the gears chime in please. 20191107_181803.jpg20191107_182853.jpg20191107_170749.jpg

I feel your pain.  I'm heading up to mom's in PA tomorrow and it is going to be a nasty 9 hour drive in the rain and when I get closer to PA, snow!  My truck is nice and clean right now inside the garage but that will end tomorrow! :(

Yesterday buddy and I went and did some work on the boat trailer. New bearings, brackets, and brakes on the 2 drivers side. Went to do the same on the passenger side and they're still serviceable. I talked about putting brakes on the 3rd axle and now I've got a set to do it with. Old 2 from passenger side will go to rear and then we'll put the remaining 2 new sets in their place. All that's left is to attach the brake line back to the driver's side and check fluid level. Boat might be moved to my buddy's house in the next couple months.

Cleaned off the back porch. 440lbs of crap gone and lots more room. Then drove out to cocoa for fiberglass and related materials for my boat and buddy's boat. It was windy out today.


Also what's this snow stuff? 20191111_110400.jpg

I'll trade you!  You can have my 74 and I'll take your whatever.  If it gets that cold here people would be too chicken *(&*( to go outside their house and we'd probably declare state of emergency.

      Differential covers

      By RJL1 · Posted

      I just brought home a 2020 GMC 1500 Denali.  She has 53K miles on her and I want to change out the fluids over the next few weeks.  I see the diff covers don't have drain plugs.  Any suggestions where I can pick up front and rear diff covers with drain plugs?   Thanks,   Bob

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Well, the dealership got the compressor and installed it. Air at the vents seems nice and cold as it should be. The service manager said the repair has a two year warranty and unlimited mileage. Hopefully I don't have to use it. The dealership i went to was one where I bought my 2014 half ton silverado. In 10 years and 168k miles on the truck anything I needed done and two small recalls they were always very good to me. Not a huge dealer either. I think they treat people well because they want you to come back. I have dealt with a different dealer that was too big to care about an individual. Just my two cents.

      Multigate Connector Difficult to Connect Fully

      By Another JR · Posted

      Hi All, I operate my 2021 3500 SLT most of the time with the tailgate off and in a crate because I have a slide-in camper. However, at least once a year, I take the camper off and put the tailgate back on. Recently I installed the tailgate, but had a hard time getting the connector bail to swing to the fully latched position. The connector seems to fully seat, and everything works, but the bail doesn’t swing to fully latched position.  It swings almost there but stops and I am afraid to push it any harder.    Does anyone have any advice on cleaning or lubrication or anything else I should be doing?  i know how to properly operate the connector. During the time the tailgate and connector are off, i have a double plastic bag over the truck connector secured with rubber bands to keep it clean, but it still had some dust in it this time when I blew it out with compressed air. I didn’t want to spray it with anything other than air without doing some research. Thanks.

      There are a lot of spammer's that do that, quote something and add some commentary to make it seem legit, but modify the quoted text a bunch making sure when posted it's long enough to be "click to expand", and either immediately insert a spam link, or come back after some time and edit it to add the spam link.

      Hello @jaszr2 Do you have a link for the item? I put a replacement bumper on my truck and consequently had to relocate the shutters. I studied on them a while, and figured if you left a couple key blades, you could get most of the airflow with probably no throwing codes.
