Pollen .... that's something we haven't seen up here in over 5 months!

 

Plenty of road salt, though. :sick:

Installed a toggle swith. I plan on installing at least two more. One will be for a light bar at some point, another for rear bumper lights for hooking/unhooking my trailer at night. Not sure yet what the others will be used for...

What is the black paint on the bottom of the dash trim from? I have the same thing on mine but it is right behind the steering wheel. Haven't tried to take it off yet for fear of making it worse!

It's not paint but the lack of. Pretty common on these, my 2006 had the spot behind the wheel when I got it.

I figured I wasn't the only one! I only notice when I get into the truck....it's perfectly hidden when I'm driving!

Yeah, it seems GM painted over black plastic in alot of their interiors for several years. Any way to save a buck ...

Just ordered up a set of Hankook Ventus ST RH06 to replace my Blizzaks for snow tires. Excellent!

 

HAHAHAHA! Just kidding - these will be going on my summer 20's. :D I love when people buy these style tires, then rant in the reviews about how bad they are in the snow. You're KIDDING, Sherlock! LOL

 

 

Got them from Discount Tire Direct on eBay for $126 per tire SHIPPED. Couldn't believe it. Almost $200 cheaper than Tire Rack with shipping. They were one of the best rated tires on there - glad I threw the info in Google! Made me $200 richer. Should stick like glue in the summer - that's what I was after. Might have to use 4WD on the grass though, lol.

If they are anything like the Eagle F1, they will be fun tires

From what I've read on the 'Rack, they're very similar, except live a little longer life. They don't make the F1 in 275/55-20, unfortunately.

 

Here's a link to the ones I got. They have killer ratings:

 

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Hankook&tireModel=Ventus+ST+RH06&partnum=755VR0RH06XL&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Chevrolet&autoYear=2007&autoModel=Silverado%20K1500&autoModClar=Extended%20Cab

 

 

 

EDIT: Actually they may have the F1's in that size - it may have been filtered out of the options list, since I logged in with my truck's specs.

My F1's are in 275/45. I went back to stock and needed an equivalent to 255/70R16.

Yep, not the greatest interior, but at least the sheet metal doesn't dent if you look at it the wrong way.

Doesn't apply to anything I want anyways

Seems like a lot of companies have updated thier or created MAP policies for 2016. Now AutoAnything coupons never work.

I really like the layout of the 800 interior, actually.

Can't wait to slip back into another 800 as my weekend warrior truck. New truck may be quiet but I miss my 800 and the simplicity of working on it. Plus I'm not scared to break something cause it's cheaper to repair

      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.
