My condolences on the loss of your best friend. Good looking truck, keep it up for him. That is a very fitting tribute.

Having a few issues buying it, turned out the whole time my buddy owned it their was a lien on it!!!!! He didn't even know because he paid cash for it at a dealer 3 years ago, the dealer purchased it at an auction never paid the bill...I think. My banker is getting the issue resolved, good thing he found this out before I paid for it!!! But anyways I just can't figure out how it's been through so many hands, through different title searches and nothing came up...???? It's really confusing and I hope everything works out!! Especially for his parents who now own a truck that may possibly have a lien on it...

How in the world??????? That dealer has some major explaining to do because that is fraud and theft IMO. In other words that dealer stole your buddy's money, or (i'll give them the benefit of the doubt) the title was never transfered correctly. Which again I believe is the dealer's error.

 

I hope this all works out for you man...

Ya it's all f***ed up, I find out in 30 min what is exactly going on. Seems to me like GMAC had a lien against it from when it was repo'd before my friend even bought it. He paid cash so their wasn't a title search at the dealer, the lien is for $6000...it's getting solved soon tho..hopefully!!!! :@

It's huge, it also has one burnt out light it in too. They are 55 watt hid piaas. And it has 55 watt high and lows as well, you can turn all 8 on at once. It's crazy bright!!!! But I was lookin around I don't know if I can just buy a bulb for them or not??...the lights are like $300 a piece.. :-I

 

Also never bought a winch for a truck only atv's. Always had Warn's, I imagine warn winches are good for a truck too? Ithe bumper can take a 12k lbs winch...thinkin about buyin one. Any thoughts?

Well you may as well finish off those rear tires for a video for us, LOL!

For a winch I would stick with Warn, nobody ever has anything bad to say about them.

 

 

Plus, nothing else on that truck is cheap, so why have a cheap winch!

Ya when I strike on a set of tires I will for sure make a good one. She lights em up pretty easy ahah. You gotta be careful with this thing, it's a whole other animal. I pinned it yesterday on the highway to pass someone at about 105 km/h the roads were wet and it broke loose kinda went a little sideways on me lol. I only had it on the 450 HP/900tq setting on the dsp5. I had some fun with it tho, I spanked a brand new 5.0 mustang with it in thunder bay the other day too. I tried to get a STI to go at it too but he wouldn't go for it lol.

 

Found a few gremlins too, windshield washer fluid started spraying all by itself one day LOL. The one amp research step doesn't like to go ALL the way up as well. I bet he's up their laughin about that one LOL. And about the bald tires lol.

 

As for the winch I'm gonna wait till spring to mess around with it. But I'll

Be shoppin around for a warn it sounds like.

:puke: that's awful looking. Take off the tacky chrome bug shield, window visors, and bed rails. Replace the cheap ebay headlights with stock ones then clear them. The bumper is a whole nother level of gaudy

 

Edit. And the fgt chrome gas cap...

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.

      from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
