Installed some Raybestos gear today, EHT pads and RPT rotors up front. Rears some other time.

We’ll see how this rust proof coating works!

Drove it up in the mountains today 4 1/2 hour trip up and down 3% to 6% grade hills and found out about the hill grade braking I did not know the truck had but it did great my wife had to tell me to slow down a few time so when I looked at the speedo I was around 95ish

Keep us updated on how these hold up. I usually use raybestos advanced technology but the RPT are half the price. You’d think the coated ones would be more expensive.

Bought them on rock auto and used one of those 5% coupon codes. Couldn’t beat the price. The pads get really good reviews. I’ll circle back after some snowy weather. Anxious to see how these handle salt.

Bought my first camper. 2003 Salem Le. It’s not the best but for a 22 year old, id say it works! Towed it a mile home but loved how the truck moved it. First time I’ve towed anything remotely heavy besides moving our snowmobile trailer around the yard. 38c378f7af24c697274f67d25cffc430.jpg890e06717f1274f28d0b24f192a36f3a.jpg

Washed and clay barred. Today is wax and full detail. Normally I’d do a machine polish but the paint is surprising swirl free even after a 115k miles so I’m not gonna worry about it this time.

I added Bilstein 5125 shocks to the rear of my Zone 4.5" lifted Sierra. I had the Zone Nitro shocks but they were about as bad as the Ranchos.

 

The Bilsteins are awesome. The front will be next but I'm not sure if I will go 5100 or 6112(if they ever release). With the strut tower extension I can run any stock length strut, while the rear required a custom length.

Installed my custom tune from Lew last night and holy crap what a difference!!!  I had been running the canned 87 Diablo tune for a couple of weeks and thought it was pretty good over stock.  I ran a log and sent it to Lew yesterday at 3:54pm.  At 4:07 he sent me back his custom tune.  I had to run to the store last night to get some meds for my son so I figured I'd install it real quick and run to the store.  As soon as I pulled out of my alley I knew instantly it was better.  Anyone on the fence about getting a Diablo tuner and a custom tune DO IT!!!!   Lew is great to work with and apparently knows his shit.

Don't hold your breathe on the 6112's

They are as elusive as a Unicorn  :lol:

2 years 2 months and 18 days of parking as far away from other vehicles as possible to avoid nicks and ended up doing this myself with the wand at the car wash.  :sigh: (at least I no longer have to worry about when I'll get the first nick!)

Also did the "cargo light on with reverse lights" mod. Only took a couple of minutes with a 99 cent diode and hopefully it will help with the crappy  picture from my backup camera at night. Next I'll do the LED conversion on the backup lights and cargo light.

    • Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.
    • Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.  
    • Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.
    • With this new pan, do you still use the same procedure to check the level? Its a deeper pan and our trucks do not have a fill tube/dipstick. So fill till fluid runs out the check plug?
