Well, I debadged my truck yesterday. Like what I usually do, get some fishing line and take the letters off. Then, got the eraser wheel & took the adhesive off. Truck looks a lot better now!

 

Can't decide to color match the doorhandles and mirror caps or not? Can't decide.

Honestly I think I'd do black mirror caps and leave the handles and side trim. That would be just enough chrome to tie in with the wheels.

Yeah that would work too, or just do both. Since they're is chrome on the back and front. While the side is chrome

So now the truck is clear wrapped from the windshield to the bow tie on the grill, the entire truck is ceramic coated, from the rims (inside and out) to the roof, bumper to bumper!

Trying out the new foam cannon! 23a9088b2a2e2dcb3d194b4eb8aec3e6.jpg7667d94e75995166ebc775720e4598f5.jpg

ROFLMAO!! i wont say what it looks like happened to your truck!

Changed the oil using the Fumoto valve for the first time. The good part is you don't have to use the ramps if you don't want to. I just slid under the truck and put a piece of tygon tubing over the nipple, opened the valve and let it drain in my pan. When I put my new oil filter on, I added 3 small super strong ceramic magnets on the outside of the filter. I have always been intrigued by the Filtermags but not so much I wanted to spend that kind of money on it.

 

I also rotated the tires and set the pressures. Tomorrow, the rear Bilsteins go on.

I didn't feel like paying $80 for a foam cannon from Chemical Guys so I decided to buy one off of Amazon for $16 with Prime and it works good just need to buy a better soap to give me more suds.

cheaper foam cannons wont give you the suds that Chemical guys does. I agree that Chemical Guys cannon is overpriced but it works

Got the rear Bilsteins on this morning. WAAYYY harder than it should have been. Apparently someone went around and tighted the upper shock mounts so tight that I had to pry the shocks out after I took the bolts out. Then I had to devise a way to open that upper mounting bracket so I could fit the new shocks. Glad that is done. Took about an hour and half on the first one, then about 20 minutes on the next one. I forgot to add, yesterday I greased the tie rod ends and upper ball joints.

Removed the spring from the light switch. No more auto on.

Does it just "click" over like the other settings? No slop or play or anything?

I need to do this. I turn the lights off every afternoon when I get in to come home.

Yes. Gives it four positions.

Fairly simple mod, took me about 15 minutes.

Actually it was a $15 dollar lightning deal on Amazon so I wasn't expecting much but it's all brass and works great so... It does look like a considerable amount of bird droppings though doesn't it! Ha

    • I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.
    • I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments
    • Looks like the entire state is burning. 😬
    • Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
