I like the snow photos, they remind me of "winter", something I guess we are not going to get this year.  In most of Western Washington State we have had very little frost and no snow, we are basking in very wet upper 30's and lower 50's, perfect conditions for moss and mildew.  So keep the snow pics coming so I can live vicariously through those blessed with winter.

I'm still a bit unclear exactly how they work.  the only video I find of them is on their site which shows like 21 different flash patterns.  Are they like other real emergency light sticks (traffic advisors) where they have separate wires to enable the modes?   Or is it more like the cheaper ebay emergency lights where its basically one switch turns it on and the other switch cycles through the different patterns with no easy way to jump to certain modes?

 

You say yours come on with the park lights, I'm assuming that they just come on steady amber.  What do your other 2 switches do when you push them?

 

 

 

 

ok so more like the "Cheap ones" 

 

 

Bottom button cycle:

 

 

amber

white

amber flash

White flash

 

the func button comes into play on the latter two setting and cycles through about 5 different flash patterns. 

 

 

Whatever you last left them set at is how they will come on when they are turned on again.   I really had no use for the strobing effect but liked the idea of going from amber to white, and what not.

Just installed the Ranch Hand.

do you happen to have a side shot of this or any other views?  My truck is the same color as yours and was considering adding a ranch hand and wasn't sure how the black would look with the the tungsten & chrome.  Couldn't decide between a black guard or a polished stainless.

Thanks.  Outside Duvall on a short dirt road.  Still looking at a level - probably Suspension Max. I think I will black it out first and then think about new wheels and tires. My current favorites are the GMC OEM 20x9 - 5 spoke black wheels you see on the Elevation Edition (just like Crazyjoker77's truck above). I really like how they look - simple, clean. Got any suggestions for a local shop in the Puget Sound to do the level - that they would know what they are doing with the Magnetic Ride?

You know, I am not sure about shops that do lifts. There is a member on here from Redmond, ftwhite, who has an 18 Centennial with a lift or a level kit on it. His truck came from Montana like mine, but not sure where he had the work done.

Yesterday on Squaw Pass, Colorado...

I wish it would snow here.  Haven't had a serious snow here since December 2008, and a dusting in 2010. 

 

I got rid of the tail light feature on my hitch tail/brake light, now it's only a brake light, but it will flash on remote start and with the hazard lights.

Got my new tags today.  Drove up to Ridgecrest DMV Office and picked them up this morning, crossed the 5900 mile mark coming back through Red Rock Canyon/Jawbone Canyon.

Took me awhile to decipher what it was suppose to say.  For the longest time the only thing I could come up with was deserter Vietnam and wondered why you wanted to flaunt that.

Haven't posted much on here over the past few years but visited the site almost daily. I started with a black 2016 High Country in September of 2016 and then traded up to a pearl white 2017 High Country in March of 2017 after 6k miles. Actually traded it in for more than I paid for it (Thanks, Bonus Tag). Currently have 24k miles on the 17 and am trading it tomorrow for a GMC Terrain SLT. Unfortunately, certain circumstances have changed with life and it no longer makes sense to have a high end truck right now. Furthermore, my commute has increased significantly and I will hit the 36k warranty mark within the next 4-6 months. I really loved driving these trucks over the past few years and I honestly like this generation better than the 2019+, but maybe they will grow on me as I see more of them on the road.

Nice ride!  What year/model is the truck?

2015 Sierra SLT. Has damn near every option available. I've heard someone call it an SLT Plus, although not sure what that is. It's a very high optioned Z71 Sierra SLT for certain. Has most of the doo-dads that come on the Denali with the exception of the fancy all glass gages, no MagnaRide, and no 22's. Only option I don't have that I wish I did was the 6.2L, I searched for a month to find a black one with the 6.2 and these options and couldn't find anything within 500 miles (was trading in a TBSS that I travelled to Canada to get, and was a basket case when I got home, so the wife was VERY against me travelling to get another vehicle). This one was about 100 miles away and checked all but one box, so I brought it home. Given me about 25k miles of trouble free service so far in the 16 or so months I've had it.

    • No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.      
    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality. 
    • We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.
