Thank you sir.

 

One last question if you don't mind. Looking down the side of the truck to the tires stick out any past the fenders? I love the way your truck sits and trying to decide what size tires to run on 22" wheels.

Pretty much right even with the fender line.

Thanks. It looked like they were even or at least not sticking out but knew it had to be close. I like the width of the tire on there. I have been eyeing the DUB Shot Calla (who names these things ha) wheels myself.

I have 305/45/22 on my truck. They came from my 2010 and I had them switched over. They fit much better on the 14 than they did on the 10. I say 22s look good on the truck with the wide tire. These pics are not great but you can see them from the front to let you see how far they stick out. I was taking a pic of my 62. I hope this helps a little.

i find the tungsten paint to scratch and mark easily

what do u guys do to polish them out

 

mike

I had two people ding my truck and I hadn't had it a month yet. I wet sanded the scratch with 3000 grit first to get the scratch out. then I used 3m compound, Meguiar's compound and polish, then wax. It got it all out. You have to watch the wet sanding so you don't go thru the clear coat. That's why I use 3000. I hope this helps!

Headed to pick up my 4X4 6.2L High Country in a couple hours. This color looks so good with the HC interior. No crazy mods planned aside from leveling kit, tint, FAC tonneau, and AMP steps. I may have it tuned, but need to do more research on the benefits and who to use.

its a leer 700 series with accessory wing.

I am very happy with it. I have had leer covers on my last 2 trucks with good success.

They had to make 2 this time though, the first one was painted the wrong tint. to gray. didnt match. sent in my tailgate piece to help them match it. Its spot on this time.

    • Dealer just confirmed that GM is "out of AC compressors."  Not sure if all 2019 to 2026 trucks use the same compressor, but a shortage like that is hard to believe.  
    • I think we're reaching the end of constant projects/work.   The water pump bolt appears to have self-sealed, as it's not leaking anymore. I'll take it, and, I'm ready should it self-unseal! I was also getting an oil leak at the front oil pan seal and timing cover and came to find a pan bolt on the corner wasn't even finger-tight. Too easy. And, it was. But, it appears tightening it has reduced a leak producing spots on the ground every time I parked, to just a weep, leaving an occasional dot on the cardboard that lives under it while parked. That's acceptable on a 30 year old engine in my book. I do hate leaks, but, replacing the pan seal is quite the job.   The rear washer line is reconnected and the sprayer works, although getting an intermittent washer fluid drip off the bottom. I think it's just residual...the reservoir filled up the channel in the rear floor and drained down into the upside-down spare tire/wheel. So there are residual puddles all over under there, will wait a few days for it to spill out and dry before I go chasing a potential leak.   The door speaker...no dice. Speaker works just fine, it's that channel in the factory amp that's gone bad. Can't win 'em all. And, whomever buys this will probably tear out the factory radio for something more modern anyway.   I put about 110 miles on it yesterday. Put a lot of wind and heat into it with some mountain driving. Still runs great. Near the top of the pass I got off on a gravel side road and put about 10 miles on with 4hi engaged. Works great.   If ya squint, she's mint! God I wish these were still in production. I can see why they're not. They're rudimentary bordering on agricultural. They began life as a pickup truck and then modern society demanded the rear be enclosed for kids and crap. They're still a pickup underneath, and that gives them lots of ride character, sway and bounce and bump steer. They're alive on the road, and, at least for purposes of nostalgia, it makes driving one a lot of fun.   The Check Engine light did come back on the pass, P0134 for the upstream O2 sensor dropping out. Putting heat into the exhaust causes it after about 10-15 seconds of increased load at higher RPM. The downstream sensor is completely mangled (someone clearly had a rough time removing it, but they didn't replace it?) so I'll just put two in it. For what, mostly to cure the CEL, I can tell the cat is damaged. It's not plugged or fractured, but it's not catalyzing. There's some guilt in not fixing it, but at a cost of $500+, the truck just won't get driven much under my watch. I dislike the smell...running the truck in the shop even with both doors open and the overhead fans blasting, I still reek of pre-cat exhaust. Sticks to clothing and everything else.   Window motor (I'm dreading this), and tires, and that should be about it. 50/50 on Starfire Solarus H/T's, or spending $20 more per tire and going with Cooper Discoverer RT's. I like the look of the RT's a lot more, but is it worth it? I've got a really good (just very old) Toyo Open Country XTX on there now and I like it.  
    • From what I've seen, they "could" sell the switch but designed the assembly such that the switch can't be readily removed and replaced without removing a plastic locating pin.  Sure appears aimed at forcing the end user to purchase a $900 shifter assembly instead of a $20 switch.  Thankfully I still have some extended warranty left...  this one has had warranty repairs almost every 5K miles from the day I bought it.  
    • I'm well aware of the typical bathtub failure curve, but plotted, this truck has been more like an elevated straight line.  It started days off the lot with misfires that GM couldn't solve for almost 2 years, and steadily continued over the last 5 years with repeat replacements of wiring harnesses, camera modules, cameras, parking sensors, head unit, rear windows, rear leaf springs and bushings, lower control arms, a radiator, and now an ac compressor and a column shift assembly.
