My 2014 All Terrain Sierra

Here's my Sierra. I bought it about 2 weeks ago. I absolutely love the truck and mostly, the interior. Since purchasing, I have installed a Rough Country leveling kit, set of Nitto Terra Grapplers in 275/60/20, AVS aero wrap bug guard, AVS rain guards, set of Weathertech floor mats, tinted windows including 35% on the windshield, and a Kobalt toolbox. Only things left are a bedliner and a custom sub box with a single 10" woofer.

 

I seem to be getting around 18 mpg on the hwy and around 15.5 mpg in the city. I have the 3.42 rear so that hurts a little.

 

Also, I've had a check engine light on since the 4th day I've owned it. I have a wiring issue with the o2 sensor. They have to trace the wiring all the way up to find the break or wear mark.

 

Anyways, on to the pictures...

Very nice truck... Sad you had a issue at day 4. I know the dealer will take care of you though. And welcome to the forum.

I would suggest the in-channel rain guards. Mine create a bit of wind noise.

Nice truck.

 

In-channel for sure. I dunno why they make anything other than in-channel. Why would anyone wanna stick something on their paint? Doesn't make sense.

Looks awesome, I like how's it levelled nicely, tires kick A$$.. I have 3-4 weeks until I get my All Terrain and was wondering if the levelling kit will affect the warranty at all? Just worried if anything goes wrong on the front end they can turn around and blame it on the levelling kit and not cover it? Cheers.

I asked the exact same thing to my dealer. They told me as long as I'm not replacing factory parts I'm good. When adding a leveling kit, you're just simply adding to the stock suspension. They also said that no single part can void your warranty in full as that is illegal. It can only void what it's directly affecting. I. E. My o2 sensor is having issues and they can't blame that on my leveling kit.

Looks just like my truck! I am trying to figure out the tire situation right now. Already ordered the RC 2" lift. Would love to see a few more pics if you wouldn't mind. Maybe one from the side?

 

And there must be something with the white ATs. Already had the right rear bearing replaced and I'm about to take it back in to correct another noise coming from the differential.

      I like the idea.  I would pick diesel if I had a choice. I need pictures though.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By newdude · Posted

      I've installed cheap eBay new aftermarket digitizers before.  They work.  Did a bunch of Cadillac CUE (aka Cadillac's MyLink) for someone years ago.  They all worked fine after the repair.    That number 22740886, that is a component part # for GM.  You can use it to search, but its not something that's obtainable at the dealer level.     So pretty much any of these will work - 2015 Colorado Digitizer for sale | eBay

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...
