Got to paint my steering wheel trim. Removing was tedious but not difficult. Reinstalling was annoying as heck!

Put a set of Michelin LTX MS2s on last weekend...stock size, P275/55 R20, and they make a world of difference compared to the OEM Good Year Eagle LS2.

Winter/snow in Michigan is a 6-7 month treat every year and summer "touring" tires (like the Eagles) are not appropriate even is you have a 4x4 vehicle.

 

Took my truck in, sliding all over in the 4x4 auto mode...brought the truck home in 2x4 (just to test the new tires) and the new shoes are something else. These Michelin's do not look aggressive however they held this truck like it was on the rails! Less noise as well, also these should last a very long time compared to the Good Years.

 

Also, being an audio/Hi-Fi pro, I like to eliminate any noise if possible...here is my fix that costs $0.25. In my case it eliminated the noise that GM had a fix for back in my 2000 Tahoe days. If you remember there was a rubber "bumper" under the ignition key. It eliminated the key chain banging noise on the steering column.

 

I just added some sticky tape attached felt, used for the furniture. No more FOB/keychain noise every time I hit a bump or make a turn. Had the same mode on my 2014 Silverado and it worked for 16 months.

That would have sucked if cranked too hard and snapped your housing off lol

Yea it would have but it would have given me a reason to get the rigid kit.

That's pretty funny, considering there are service bulletins talking about the mirror swap and spelling out exactly what needs to be exchanged (i.e. switch, door harness)...

I have yet to see a service bulletin on them do you by chance have a copy of it or know the number?

I just realized my foot was in there [emoji23] it was 1AM when I took the picture and I was so done with trying to get the airbag off to make it easier that I wasn't paying any attention to anything but those painted trim pieces lol.

Did you end up removing the airbag? Any advice? I need to do that in order to swap wheels...

If you're being told there's no such document, your dealer's either an idiot, a liar, or both. GM's Service Information calls it a "bulletin" but it's not a TSB. Ask your dealer to use the SI system to search for document PI1255D, with the title "Changing To Camper Outside Mirrors." It's evolved over the past few months to reflect the MY15i tow mirrors.

No, after about 2 hours of watching videos of how to remove it from old models and trying to figure out descriptions of removing it from these since no one has a video of how to remove it yet from these trucks, I just said F it and just shoved the pieces back into place. I got aggravated with trying to remove the airbag haha. It's probably really simple and I was just missing an easy step but after the time I spent, I gave up. I was just ready to have the dang pieces in place and be done with it!

Yeah, process is completely different than the GMT900s, which appeared to be quite simple/ straightforward...

Oh yea. I quickly became very sad when i realized it wasn't going to be as simple as the GMT 900s. Stick in Allen wrench, twist, pull airbag, unplug airbag, done. Thanks GM for getting rid of that simple process. I tried the same way you'd have to go about removing from a GMT 800 and I just tried randomly poking and prodding until finally giving up. Good luck with getting it off! If you can figure it out, let me know! If I go to a dealer soon I'll ask them how.

I've been trying to find one since day one. Just tried searching again and come up with nothing. Do you have a link? Thanks.

    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.    
    • I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
    • I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
