Anyone have a recommendation of where I could get drop shackles added to lower the back end if my end truck by 2 inches in the DFW area (I am in the Plano area). Just feel the rake is too high and don't want or need the truck to be any higher. I have Magride so need it adjusted and assume headlight will need very slight adjustment as well. Any feedback appreciated.
I have been looking at the sulastic shackles with drop as well but not completely sold on it yet.

I upgraded to the Husky liners last fall. I had the OEM floor liners in as well. They were top notch quality and I would have kept them if not for that cutout. I don't understand why that even exists. Especially in any area where you have to worry about snow and salt.

Because of the Toyota floor mat recall.

Just ordered the husky cocoa front floor liners for my 2018 sierra 1500 on Amazon. Got dealer to include OEM floor liners last month when I bought the truck but hate the cutout under the accelerator pedal on drivers side that allows Iowa road salt to stain the carpet. 

 

Don't tell my wife please!

Anyone looking to buy a pair of 1 month old cocoa brown GMC OEM floor liners for a 2018 Sierra 1500?

Interesting. One would assume that as long as the mats were deep enough to cover back and up there would be no way the pedal would be stuck. Guess it makes sense that GM doesn't want to take that chance though.

I actually bought new Toyota Tacoma OEM floor mats after the stuck pedal fiasco. They weren’t liners, but rubber all weather mats. While they had all kinds of warnings imprinted on them regarding not putting other mats on top or underneath them, they still covered under the gas pedal.

Washed her finally. Oddly enough, while washing the one mudflap, I discovered the piece of metal that apparently caused my flat last month was lodged in the seam of the flap.

Is your 18 the 6 or 8 tranny?

 

Edit* didn’t see more posts after this. That’s disappointing the 8’s are having issues

[mention=138501]Sierra Jon[/mention] How do you like the foam cannon and what brand do you have? I've been thinking about getting one, not sure if it's worth the cost.
I'm using a cheap Amazon one and I am surprised with how well it works. Definitely worth it. I posted it a while back but this is the link. You have to get good soap though. I bought chemical guys.

    • Yes.   Yes.   We might be intermingling ideas with the term 'severity', in one of my past vehicles it could pull up DTC via the vehicles own user interface, at any given time when one would do this there would be an assortment of codes that were 'trivial' including 'communication' issues. This would generate a bunch of, potentially false alerts or some many that they would get ignored. Which you mentioned earlier.    You also mention several things that might be redundant with the vehicles own systems or indicators: The truck has an oil pressure gauge, monitoring it via this other system wouldn't be a priority except in comparison to other values or if there is an actual oil pressure problem.   Same thing for miss-fires or other problems, the MIL already signals the operator to an issue...   ...to the point about what one wants to see first, if there is a miss fire detected, I want to see miss fire counts or fuel trims first, if I have an oil pressure problem I want to see the oil pressure first. So, perhaps the 'systems' that are showing abnormalities are what gets displayed first.   I think your device is what connects at the OBD port, ease of use for the consumer, it could still have a 'pass-through' port for a second scanner, computer, etc.   Yes.   Based on my comment above, if an error appears, the report would be more specific to the system having an error.
    • Saturday 87 was 2.98 at the local meijer when I filled up my car with 93.
    • I like the idea.  I thought about putting a deposit a few years ago when they first dropped.  I still want to drive one and have inquired about doing this with them, like a ride and drive event they said they are coming but it hasnt happened even with them built in Indiana.  
    • That's a tough spot to be in, I personally would question spending 1/2 the book value on a repair vs. selling it as-is.    Presuming you own it out right, sell it for 10k and have a down payment for a replacement truck, or spend 10k on the one you already have...   I still think there is a cheaper transmission out there via recyclers, aftermarket or rebuild. (Cheaper than 5k for the unit)
    • Sadly, there's a drought of good 92-95 4.3 cars at junkyards in the area otherwise I would have gone fishing for parts. Not that they don't come up, there's just nothing good in the yards right now.   I tore into the intake yesterday evening, easier than I thought, and I might have this problem licked for cheap. Two of the intake studs came up with the bolt on removal, no big deal but that's why it looks funny with studs only on one side.   There's pooled gas on both sides of the plenum. Highlights boxed in green. Picture-right side has an obviously split pressure line from rubbing on the #5 injector nylon line. #5's line is worn in that spot but not all the way through. Passenger side intake (picture left), not sure, but I think the pressure regulator is hosed. Rebuilt spiders don't come with the pressure and return hoses so I'll need to replace those no matter what. A pressure regulator is $30 so I'll try that and if I end up having to swap the whole spider, it was $30. I'll be grinning ear to ear if that's all I need.   Parts arrive Tuesday.   Sure enough the shop was here before. That's a new gasket. Vacuum lines and wiring are a tangled mess, I sorted that out last night as well. Spent about an hour just picking up general slack and shoddy reassembly around the engine bay. Cheek-pokered the battery tray, got it all cleaned up. Sometimes things just need a little elbow grease and a few minutes of time to be right again.
