No idea. Ask General Motors. Why does the paint on the drivers box side just get destroyed to the point I am having it repainted in about a week from now on a truck that only sees pavement... there are many unanswered questions here. However unlike most that stand and complain I will do something about it.. it is what it is. A propane torch let me reform that intake tube and I gave it a wrap of black tape just to build a cushion where the intake tube attaches. I tested for leaks with propane after and all seems well again.

I better see you at woodward we cruised it last night.

 

This whole weekend I spent time in the square new radio speakers and swapped grills with a friend. Then we out them all in a car show this morning and cruised some more. Pics are all in the photography section.

Huh.... mine was full of dirt from my airbox lid being damaged. Otherwise I would have never removed the intake manifold unless I had a purpose like a blower. ... fuel system upgrade etc. I didn't pull it to clean valves lol. My truck only has 24000 miles on it... the valves look great!

 

You guys read too much stupidity on this website and somehow think it's real world lol.

Lol. What the MT reviewer did with his truck:

"You can probably imagine my surprise when the first time I fired it up, a GMC logo greeted me on the little driver instrument control display on the dashboard. Hmm. Upon closer inspection, the switches on the center stack that turn traction control on and off, among other things, were loose and only worked if you pushed them just so. My truck mustve rolled down its Wentzville, Missouri, assembly line on an off day. Regardless, those are issues to be addressed at a later date because Ive got big plans for the Colorado."

That's par for the course.

 

People keep buying them, so I don't know whether to rip on GM for building crap, or the people who don't mind forking over $50-large for a half-assed vehicle ...

 

I learn from my mistakes!

Not worry about it because it isn't your money nor is it your problem. And I'm not complaining about it... so.. lol. They are all junk regardless of brand or model.

And just for a breath of fresh air for on here... I like my trucks.. I do. If I don't I just sell them and buy something else. I just need to get the 15 where I want it body wise.. toss the drop in it and then make a decision on turbo or a blower. Decisions decisions lol.

The only turbo option I see viable is armageddon. I don't want some dumb big single on a real driver... because in all reality they drive like garbage. Blower... well... I don't want a tvs1900 if I am spending the money and Whipple is just meh to me... I have been watching a guy on pt that is running a procharger on his 5.3 and he is basically maxed out now fuel wise... makes around 700 whp though. He has a cam with a bigger pump lobe and the LT4 Vette injectors and high pressure pump.. that's the real limit on these direct injected ones anyway. The armageddon looks so badass... but it's also a lot more money than just doing a blower lol.

Got home last night from a 1,200 mile road trip over the span of one week. The only problem was the fuel pressure regulator that wouldn't seal a few hours into the drive, needing to drive about 20 miles back and buy a new one that squared everything away. Luckily it didn't happen further away since we would have been in the middle of nowhere, but I should have known better and it was entirely my fault and not the trucks.

 

Otherwise the truck was flawless and handled everything like a champ; highway, dirt trails, mud, rain, etc. She even got to drink some 92 octane!

Sounds like a fun trip!

 

Got my black window trim sitting on my living room floor. Wasn't sure about it there for awhile, but after looking at pictures, I think I'll be happy.

Last 2 days has been crazy driving

 

The latest this morning rolling to work at 5am on the 465 on ramp driving along (not tailgating for once) guy in a spark in front of me turns around and flips me off. WTF ok dude. I end up passing him cruising in the middle lane he flys up behind me and hits his brights (more like flashlights) so I think maybe he thought my brights were on so I slow down get over he passes I get behind then as a friendly gesture to illustrate I didn't have my brights on light him up (lights, brights, and fogs). He got the idea, flipped me off and took off. Good day sir sorry about whoever pissed in your Cheerios

People today. Probably a treehugger that didn't like your "earth killing" pickup. :lol:

    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.    
    • I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
    • I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
