I remember when my father’s tailgate slammed you’d hear the rust (damn fords)


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I remember dad having to build a new tailgate for his 73' Chevy because the old one was completely rusted. This was in the late 70's. Paint fell off too. On a quiet night you can hear a Chevy rust. Still love them. Hate crap steel.

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Found an hour of free time yesterday and installed GM - Illuminated Door Sills. Love the way they look! Of course, made a how to video. The box didn't come with instructions and tried searching he

One of my fondest memories is riding to the dump with dad in that old truck. The dash had a bad rattle. Dad had a bad temper. He would punch the offending portion of the dash each time it displeased him, which was often. I would ask him if he thought that would make it more likely or less likely to rattle? All I got was "God damn Kid".

BS.. mine was doing it way before intake... .. mine's in the shop for that now... and the 2018 with 3k miles on it... (gmc slt z71).... it has the same hard shifts in 1-2..and 2-1.. 

These "techs" do know you can clean the sensor off if it really did get oil on it, which is doubtful.

@Korazu Have you tried any of the "off brand" versions? Curious to know how they compare. I prefer to just buy once so if it's clearly a better product I'm ok with the one time, but it seems to mechanically simple that I wonder what the value is. Although the one that @Sierra Jon linked seems to have a few poor reviews that describe leaking, it seems easily fixed with a simple rubber washer.

Sorry I had not tried any off brands.  I've had my current one since Sept and have used it close to a couple dozen times already. Works great. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Ugh!  I put new pads in the front brakes right after work yesterday.  I had noted that the pads were thin about a month ago.  So, I ordered new pads for the Wilwoods I have on the front.  I was going to replace them last weekend, but got distracted/lazy/whatever.  Bad move.  On the way home yesterday afternoon, they started grinding.  I got home and did my version of a race car pit stop.  The left rotor outer surface had some minor scoring.  But it was not deep.  I will likely pull the rotor when I have time and resurface it.

 

Less than one hour to change pads.  I was hurried so I could take the dog to the old remediated landfill to run like we do most days.  There's rain headed our way and I knew he wouldn't get out for a couple days. I made it before sunset.

@Spurshot Always annoying when you push back something easy and it causes more damage. Looks like a black lab from the photo? Got a brown one myself just last year. Boy does he love to fetch.

Had a similar situation with my wife's '10 Mustang.  Replaced all of the pads with cheap ones from NAPA Auto, in June '13.  Replaced all of the pads (AGAIN, with Duralast) and the front rotors, the following Labor Day Weekend.  :mad:  Ran into the guy that bought it from the Honda dealership, that we traded her in at, and from what he told me (and what I could see), he's still running with the same pads, that I put on her in September '13.  :cool:

Photo of the rear GMC OEM floor liners on my 2018 Sierra 1500. I will follow with pics of the front Husky liners that cover better than the OEM  liners.

The husky driver side may cover better, but that passenger side is not quite as good as the OEM version.

 

The rear OEM ones are great. I live in a pretty harsh environment and we use a lot of salt/sand. No complaints aside from the driver side gas pedal cut out

Nice day to wash and detail my 2018 Sierra. Also installed factory mud guards this week. I use turtle wax wet and dry to give it a wax and shine. Friend told me Meguiares  has a better product. Any opinions?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
