Mike - I did the plasti on my emblems too, so I know what you mean. On the caps, I was going to either tape off everything but the gold and spray it, or...color it w/ black paint marker as a last resort. They're so small, I don't really want to spend an hour cutting out tape to piece it around the bow tie before spraying.

 

I'll report back how it goes, when I'm able to do it (maybe not tonight).

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

What worked best for me when I debadged my 14 was the following: heat gun on low setting, dental floss and an eraser wheel on a power drill. It cleaned it up really nice, but make sure you dont over heat with the heat gun and make sure you dont press to hard in one spot with the eraser wheel, ive hear of people burning the paint/clear coat. I think this is the fastest safest way to get the 3M tape off.

I have completed my Dash Cam install: running a BlueSkysea G1

 

http://www.amazon.com/Black-Box-HD1080P-G1W-Novatek/dp/B00J2OVN74/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1405015602&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=Blueskysea+g1

 

which is relatively cheap and straight forward. I ran the power to the 120 volt plug on the dash and tucked the power wire up under the headliner, behind the pillar post and under the dash for a nice clean look. The camera powers on with the ignition and turns off when I shut the motor down, so I couldn't ask for more. Cheap insurance if a jerk pulls out in front of me or other mishaps as they occur.

I have the same one lol, works great and good quality. Haven't had time to run the wire through the pillar and headliner so I just have it hanging on there lol. Can you show me which wires you Wired it into on the ignition.

Really didn't wire into existing wiring, but used an adapter that most of us have for charging our cell phones. The ones that you plug the USB into and then plug into the wall... I used this one from my Kindle because the USB plugs into the bottom of the adapter. I zip tied the wire under the dash, ran it over to the driver side and up the A pillar.

Corwest, as soon as I can. Honestly, I haven't had a chance with family members visiting and not driving at night. I haven't forgotten you, buddy.

What camera are you using for your dash cam block8head?

 

I agree that the guy in the Grand Am was not paying attention but your dash cam shows how they don't have the cross street lights properly masked. On a nasty rainy or snowy night a lesser being could make a fatal mistake!

      Doors lock and mirrors fold in while driving

      By BIGBOYS · Posted

      I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
