I find it so odd that a clean 00-02 still attracts me way more than any gmt900 ever could, and than the K2's currently do.   I see a well kept black 99-02 Silverado every 2 weeks that looks identica

I beg to differ on ALL of that.. The build quality of the 900's will never be as solid as the 800's. With fuel economy requirements and such, the thinner and lighter materials make it impossible. In m

I have an 04 Silverado LT with 102k that I got in 06 and haven't had any problems with it. Just rebuilt the entire front end and did brakes last year. I want a new one but love not having a payment.

I love my '05 RC/SB best vehicle I've owned to date. It's a bit plain but that's okay. It's a WT but came with power windows and locks. And I'm okay with the rubber mat instead of carpet cause I trash carpets. She's been good to me too. I replaced the washer pump (My fault. filled the tank with water in the summer cause I was out of blue juice and forgot come winter and it froze and cracked the pump.) Did front brakes at 80K, plugs and wires at 85K and shocks at 50K. I have had no other issues with my truck and will probably have it at least another 5-10 years. I'm gonna need tires before winter so I figured a RC full leveling kit and a set of 285/70R17 Duratrac's are in order. And the wheels will get a fresh coat of black paint.

I think at 128k I need to go through the front end, control arms, tie rods, ball joints, springs, sway bar. Just replace everything to freshen it up

Not a bad idea. I've been keeping an eye on my front end and everything seems to be in order so far. It's all factory still.

I just put 1240 miles on it from Thursday at 5pm to 5 am this morning. Pulls a little right. I need to start doing maintenance on hard parts. Also need new tires

I still need to do all of this and more at almost 212k. :tear:

My drive to Tucson kind of opened my eyes. It was nice to see 17.7 mpg going out unloaded

As much as I drove my truck its better to get it done sooner. In almost a year I have nearly 23k on it. 3 more weeks make it a year.

I wish I would've changed all mine earlier. My front end is in dire need of work at this point

Same here, she used to feel relatively tight and now I can definitely tell that the front is on marshmellows.

I should be used to it already as well but I can't stand the feeling that the steering isn't precise and tight.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.
