Yeah....that salt/molasses brine mix they use is hell on vehicles...and the deer LOVE it. The biggest salt lick in the country...MD highways.

 

That's why I just spent a fortune on a grille guard.

a 7 pointer ran straight into me in 2012 ... since then I've been using the deer whistles.. bull bar was one off the first things i did to my truck cause of parking around here/deer. Nice truck btw

Thanks. Good call on the deer whistle. They must work...I've never seen a deer anywhere near them in the store! j/k

 

I hit one @ ~40MPH in my old Silverado. No damages, other than a slightly pushed in skid plate. The deer exploded. VERY messy. This was last winter.

Seriously tho, I didnt notice any difference with the butt dyno but it does add a little sound when you mash the skinny peddle.

Looks good DD.

 

Yesterday, I made some block-offs for the VLED 3000LM LED lights. I planned to just make these temporary until I could get on a mil and make a sharper cut-off line, but if these work well enough I'll stick with these. While I was thinking about making them I came up with the plan to use them to stabilize the plastic adapter clips. As I did I got a bonus. I made them just go into the end and they opened up the seal area, so now they are very tight in the housing and square. I'm super happy with the outcome. I only got one on yesterday and I'm going to do the other after I write this.

Found the screws rusting already. Not happy about it.

Adding these now that it's done. As side by side of old and new and both newly blocked off.

Added some nice blue paint and scratches to my wheel thanks to my neighbor who did not look behind her while backing out her driveway.

That sucks, but if it is all on the wheel, it certainly could be worse. People wonder why people double park their cars. It's because people don't pay attention and don't respect others things.

It is absolutely beyond me that people do that!!!

 

What... is there some new law that I don't know about that says that if it's your driveway you don't have to turn and look? :dunno:

 

What if it had been a kid on a tricycle!?!!!!! :nonod:

 

It's happened to the vehicles in my family at least 4 times over the years. Stupid.

Went to the tire shop to get my new wheels and tires put on...

then drove home with them in the back of my truck cause one of the tires was damaged.

 

Get the start the wait all over again.

 

On the plus side the tire shop put 2 on so I could see it.

They fit and look great.

Changed chrome mirror caps and handles to black. It was dark when I finished but here we go. Broke a couple clips on the old chrome caps I took off. Handles were very easy, I used fishing line and this video

I need to clean her up and dip the window trim.

Ktapper did the black honeycomb in the front grill come like that from the factory or did you paint it?

Retro'd in some RX350 projectors and installed some Denso slim ballasts to run my Osram Xenarcs. Man OEM components make a world of difference in performance! Also installed wireless charging for my phone into my center console mat awhile ago may or may not have mentioned that already. Pics tomorrow

    • Hi, New here.  2026 Denali HD.  Just purchased 7/2/26. I am having the same issue.  I just traded in my 2024 AT4, and the truck connected to bluetooth and Android Auto Immediately!  Now, with the new HD, it connects when it wants to, which is usually not at all.  I have to use the usb-c cable to get it to connect.  Bluetooth won't even connect without the AA. Now after saying all that, I'll take a 20 min drive with the phone plugged in.  Stop at a store, restaurant, etc....  Get back in my truck and DO NOT plug the phone in.  The truck then decides at this point, lets connect BT & AA and work perfectly, ie how it should.   I have deleted (forget phone) the phone multiple times.  I guess I'll just get used to plugging it in every time. even though I don't think its good for the phone battery to have it on charge after it hits 100%. I have searched all over.  No one else seemed to be having this issue, until I read this thread today.   thanks for reading.
    • I have an issue with my ignition hanging and I have to tilt the steering wheel to get in the off position. I have used a great key lock spray and it doesn't help resolve the issue. Is this an ignition assembly issue or something else. If anyone has a past experience with this please advise.   Thanks  Heath
    • This is a terrible GM warranty experience, two months waiting for a covered engine swap with no loaner or timeline is not allowed under GM’s courtesy transport policy.Escalate straight past regular support to a GM executive case manager, document every closed service ticket and dealer repair paperwork. File a complaint with NHTSA to force faster action, and ask for daily rental reimbursement while your truck is down. If it’s been out of service over 30 days, your state lemon law may let you pursue a full vehicle buyback.
    • 198°F isn't unusually hot for an 8L90, so I don't think temperature alone caused the issue. Since everything returned to normal after the truck sat for several days, I'd be looking at an intermittent electronic or hydraulic control problem before assuming the transmission itself has failed. The first thing I'd do is scan the Transmission Control Module (TCM), not just the ECM. GM transmissions can store manufacturer-specific or history codes that won't trigger a check engine light. I'd check: TCM history and pending DTCs Commanded vs. actual gear Line pressure Shift solenoid status Torque converter clutch (TCC) slip Transmission fluid temperature If it happens again, try to capture the data before cycling the ignition, since some intermittent faults disappear after a restart. A professional scan tool that supports full GM transmission diagnostics makes this much easier. For example, the Foxwell NT809BT can access the TCM, read manufacturer-specific transmission codes, and display live transmission data that's not available on a basic OBD-II reader: https://www.foxwelldiag.com/products/foxwell-nt809bt Hopefully it's just an intermittent control issue, but I'd definitely pull the TCM data before replacing any parts.
