Yesterday, my son and I washed my truck, since it was 70ºF, sunny, and clear out. :cool: Got done around sundown, so no pictures, yet.  Hit 46864mi as we were coming back off of Edwards (before the wash), from lunch and working with a friend's dogs (since they are on vacation), almost took a picture of it in front of NB-52 0008 ("Balls 8," NASA).  OF COURSE, now the wind is blowing, so I expect it to be dusty/dirty again.  :(

Don’t even ask why I said rubicon lol... what I meant was Recon.. don’t know how I messed that statement up. Just edited the post to correct that and posted the link. Glad you said something.

Sweet. Been going back and forth between Recon and Spyder. Saw some awesome lights on this thread a few pages back but haven't seen them on spyders website.

[mention=160063]gruve[/mention] Did you get a matching 3rd brake light? I can't seem to find one.


Nope, just the tails for now. Didn’t even look into the third light. I see anzo makes an led version though.

Yeah, Looks like they make a version as well (https://www.carid.com/spyder/smoke-led-3rd-brake-light-mpn-bkl-csil14-led-sm.html?singleid=211675538&url=80520797) any idea if that is the same tint? Hard to tell from the photos, but you've seen yours in person so hoping your eye can help a brother out.

From how that looks on the site I would say the same tint or very close. My tails are smoked but not very dark. Now you have me looking at that too!

Yeah, the only concern I had was that they say chrome/smoke as opposed to black/smoke. I may try and run from a different brand that is black and tinted, we shall see.

 

I wasn't looking for any right now, but with the sale I kind of have to.

Heading out to shop for tires/shocks. The cooper discoverer at3's are noisy and I don't like feeling every crack in the road. My idea of GMC is the Cadillac of trucks. I want comfort, luxury and refinement.

I finally swapped my chrome door moldings out for painted ones after putting it off for the last 2+ years haha. Went ahead and removed the Sierra badges as well.

Side note: That tape on the lettering is no joke to get off. fe9f22d78044cc315a1bbe6fbc95026f.jpg

Pretty sure it has the same suspension as the Silverado. If you want a better ride (bump wise) then stay off of E rated and low aspect ratio tires.

Previous owner put those on. One size larger than stock. Near as I can tell it should have 265 65 18's. These are 275's. Also did other strange things.

What do you mean exactly ? What do you notice ? Sound ? Performance ? Debating on doing this but the guys at work say that it won’t do much without a tune. Did you tune yours after ?

Crappy wipers are probably the single most annoying thing to me. You buy a 40k+ truck and the wipers come from a used yugo. I bought some "winter wipers" from autozone that were alright in the beginning but suck now, less than 3 months later. You live in an area with a lot of rain/snow?


No snow down here and not much rain either lol maybe just the sun screwed them up.

faster acceleration and a more aggressive sound when giving it some gas, honestly dont think you need a tune unless your doing bigger things like headers or Cam swaps, major things but I could be wrong

    • Hi all,   I just bought a 2021 suburban RST with 88,000 miles on it and everything has been good but I’ve been noticing within the last month or so that there are small electrical things going on and I know what the AGM batteries and all the electric electrical in these big trucks you need to have a constant flow with good voltage   That being said, I bought a new battery thinking that that might have something to do with it but today I went to get in and start it and it said no key found when I had the key right in my pocket   It also proceeded to flash the lights inside and outside for over 30 minutes as I went to disconnect the battery as soon as I touch the negative terminal, I heard the relay reset and everything come back up. I got in the truck and started it no problem.   Anyone else have this happen to them? I’m starting to think it’s the KARR system that the dealer installed short circuit stuff.
    • I don't drive this truck on a regular basis since I have a new company truck with no out of pocket fuel or maintenance cost. Yesterday I got it out to run some errands and got the title message on my DCI. A quick Google search suggested to first clean the Map Sensor. I pulled it out and it was sooty so cleaned it up and reinstalled it. Issue not resolved. My OBDII is a couple years old so didn't see any codes. Today I took it to a friend at AutoZone to get him to check it with his reader. It had the following codes: P20C3 P02BB P221F Stating the most likely solution is to replace diesel emission fluid (DEF) tank assembly.   So, I guess a trip to the dealer is necessary. I read where there was a backorder on these tank assemblies several years ago so hope that has been resolved.
    • Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.    And of course your tires carry more weight for a given tire pressure due to their size vs a stock sized tire so there is that to take into the equation as well. 
    • Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer
    • I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.
