In Illinois this week for work. Turns out the Weathertech factory is up the road from my hotel. Picked up a pair of floor mats for the truck. Just the fronts for now.

And now they're in the truck. Fit is excellent as always. Had sets in my Tacoma and the Legacy. I also hate the Chicago area so much I get to go back next week. :lol:

Not a sports fan at all, sorry.

 

 

But seriously? A Cubs game?

 

 

As a relocated New Englander living in Michigan going to a Cubs game would be all kinds of wrong. :lol:

 

 

But yes, Chicago sucks. I have no use for the whole big city living/experience thing. And I have to leave my gun at home. If I can't have my gun, I don't like being there.

This. Both statements. But I would leave my gun at home to get into NY long enough for a Yankee game.

 

I wanted to see the ranger v yankee game in Arlington tomorrow but sadly my boys aren't old enough to stand the lack of wiggle room. They barely lasted an hour at the zoo in a stroller.

The atmosphere is worth it because they are the Cubs. Personification of all of us- good years, bad years, years of promise and years of struggle. To almost reach the top not quite get there and start all over again. Everyone can relate to the Cubs in one way or another, whether you love em or hate em.

I've heard the same about Fenway (atmosphere that is). I'd be willing to give them a go since they're my hometown team I guess but honestly I don't know a damn thing about most games in terms of rules or the flow of the game.

 

And I seriously doubt I have the game needed to land any of the lookers. :lol:

Got this today, I'm glad it came up clean!!!

 

Things look great in this first report for your Silverado. Our universal averages for the GM 5.3L V-8

are based on ~5,800 miles of oil use, and you can see that your metals are reading at or below those
averages on a similar oil run. That's a good indication that there are no mechanical issues or other obvious
problems developing, at least as far as we can see. No moisture, dirt, or fuel was detected, and the low level
of insolubles points to good oil filtration. All in all, things are looking great for this engine as it crosses the
100,000-mile mark. Try 7,500 miles next oil. Nice!

 

l'm especially glad that there wasn't any dirt, I guess the filters have been doing their jobs. :thumbs:

Saw a 2014 Camaro today. Confused the hell outta me cause I saw the back of it with that god awful thin tail-lamps. I initially thought I would like the small tweaks they made but I just don't like it.

      2018 Sierra 1500 Transfer Case Leak

      By Ryanwehr14 · Posted

      Pretty much zero rust on the truck, the frame is super clean. Non-snowy area of California for its whole life. They didn't mention JB weld specifically, just a silicone style seal.

      2012 Sierra 1500 AC issues

      Needs a manifold gauge hooked up and the pressures read.   If you don't have one, time to take it to a shop and have it diagnosed.

      2018 Sierra 1500 Transfer Case Leak

      By newdude · Posted

      How rusty is the truck?     The transfer cases on these are an aluminum case.  If its anything like the rear diffs on the 2015-2022 Chevy Trax, those will corrode bad to the point it will push fluid through the housing via corrosion porosity or a crack from age/stress.    We have seen folks over tighten the drain and fill plugs on these transfer cases and crack them that way as well.    So I'd say its a 50/50 shot on re-sealing the case.  If all of the surfaces are good and its not badly corroded, they probably can re-seal it.  GM uses RTV to seal the case halves.   If they mention JB Weld, the issue is the case.  Be it a crack or corrosion.  JB Weld "might" hold if they clean EVERYTHING very well and drain the fluid out of the case and clean the crack and then seal it.

      2018 Sierra 1500 Transfer Case Leak

      By Ryanwehr14 · Posted

      A while back, my truck (2018 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3) went in for an o2 sensor and routine service. The tech identified that my rear output seal on my transfer case was leaking, and recommended I have them replace it. At the time I didn't think anything of it, and had them do the repair. Less than a month later, I noticed that the recently repaired seal was leaking again. I called the shop that did the repair and they warrantied the repair and replaced the same seal again. A few months later, I noticed that once again the same seal leak had come back. It wasn't a great time to bring it in and I ended up just living with it for 6 months or so, noticing small (smaller than a baseball) size oil stains below the truck when it would sit for a while, as well as oil spray on the frame (to the point where it actually took the underbody coating off in that one spot). Finally got around to brining it in again, but this time I took it to a dealership service center since I am in a different part of the state for school. They identified the same output seal leaks and recommended they replace them. They also said there was no scoring on the inside of the transfer case, so it didn't need to be replaced. They chalked up the original repair failures to non oem seals and a job that wasn't done correctly. Now they called and said the seals are holding after driving/sitting for a while, but they found a very small leak in the middle, that they recommended they seal with some kind of silicone/jb weld (not sure what they are using). I haven't picked up the truck yet, but I have been reluctant about this whole repair process because I feel like they are just fixing the same thing that keeps coming back, and I am concerned there could be another root cause for the seal failing. Has anybody else experienced anything like this, or have any ideas on other things that could be the root cause?
