Love this color! It really ticks me off that GM doesn't have Victory Red (Red Hot as its now called) available in High Country trim with the color matched bumpers.... this would make a sweet package!

2015 Silverado WT1 in Victory Red. Lund soft roll up tonneau cover. Go-Rhino 3" stainless step bars. Line-X premium bed liner. Same material sprayed in the rear wheel wells. Valueguard rustproof and undercoat. Weathertech drip rails. 4.3 Ecotec3 V-6. 6 speed automatic. 3.23 open differential. Window tint and some seam sealer in a few spots is up next. Then work on getting the tail down to earth. After that...we'll see. Old and broke makes a short project list.

2015 WT1 

(2/8/2019)

 

Mild lower and blacked out wheel wells makes the factory silver wheels pop and brings the factory tire size visually to proportion. De-bagged. Paint correction. 3M clear paint protection over the nose. Lund soft bed cover. Line-X box liner and bed mat. Tail gate shock. Weather Tech in channel window visors. 3M ceramic window tint. Darkest legal at each position with 6" black visor. Rhino step bar on lower custom mounts. Weather Tech no drill flaps. GM box corner protection. Bed rail plugs. Carbon Fiber plate frames. Hotter whiter halogen low beams.   

 

Inside rubber backed mechanics seat protection covers for the gray cloth seating and black carpet type floor mats. Lots of towels covering most everything Rex would shed hair on. Linear Logic Scan Gauge II. Scotch Guard. 

 

Motor modification: Splicing a custom thermostat housing into the upper hose and running a standard mouse motor 54 mm Stant 180 F thermostat keeps things over 25 F cooler. Ran a K & N drop in for awhile until OA showed increased silicon levels. 

 

Trans mod was to reverse the thermostatic bypass valve "pill" effectively bypassing it completely. PML 8 quart ribbed alloy pan. Black BBQ coating. Quicker winter warmup and lower summer running temperatures.  

 

All three holes run Red Line Lubricants and WIX XP or NAPA Platinum filters (same filter different box).  

 

Suspension: King OEM remote reservoir front coil overs running softer 600# 3.5" O.D. X 13"  King springs and Bell -2" drop spindles. MOOG extended camber/castor cams. Out back is a set of King OEM remote reservoir shocks controlling custom Deaver leaves with the spacers removed and Deaver custom hardware hanging in Sulastic isolation hangers. Custom valving by Filthy Motorsports.  Front 1" + lower. Rear almost 4" lower. Alignment by Deegans Garage, Sycamore Illinois.

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!
