anymore info these pads and rotors?

Bought them from rock auto. Did my fronts for around $95. Will be doing my rears after winter. They perform as good if not better than OEM with the added benefit of the rotors ability to resist rust so they look good behind my wheels still.

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.

It has never been done before., I took on the challenge and with@pgamboa@jadscoop help I was able to pull it off. I’ll do a write up but it’s going to be a long one since there’s a lot of modifications needed for the HUD to be installed “OEM factory like”

No kit. I built everything from scratch, Phil Gamboa built my harness and@jadscoop created the new cluster visor. Since our 14-18 were never meant to have a HUD, every part had to be modify and built.

.. hit 2000km in the truck today.. I know the DIC estimate isn't 100% accurate but I'm still really loving the gas mileage in these trucks.. especially considering my F150 was in the 18-20 l/100km range

9.6 l/100km = 24.5mpg

 18 l/100km = 13mpg

Finished up my video install of the DeeZee hex series runnign boards.  Doubt it warrants a whole write up on how I installed them as most every running board mounts the same.  The Hex mounting of these bars is pretty cool and gives the board a unique appearance in this world of round running board.

 

Overall I am happy with how these went on I only wish there was a way to reuse the plastic covers from my stock running board to cover up the Deezee brackets.  The brackets by themselves look so dinky.  I know the OEM brackets are the same style of metal bracket but the plastic covers gives it a nice finished look.  Anyways big appearance improvement over my old board.  Matches my bumpers and wheels much better!

 

 

The kids approve of the new boards. They hang lower so it’s easier for them to climb in.

This looks like this is just the front left. Do you have the part numbers for the front right and both rear doors? Thanks!

Order 4 of them.  All you need is the knobs, the rods don't fit our trucks.  The knobs unscrew of the rods.

a while ago in this thread one of the guys showed some pics of some new hitch covers he got from kempter kustoms

 

they looked AWESOME so i checked out the link above and found a part of the webpage where you can order a custom hitch cover.  so then my dilemma was 'do i just order the awesome boba fett hitch cover or go full custom?'...  well, i went full custom.  after a few emails back and forth i placed my order and today my hitch cover showed up - it's AWESOME!!!!

 

this is my men's hockey team jersey (i've run this team for 9 seasons now - just a great bunch of guys - they are like brothers!)

what i LOVE is that they left the eye 'hollow' and there is a cutout in the back of the hitch cover so i can add an LED.  i'm going to use a red LED and wire it to my brake light!  ha! ha!

replaced the black window trim with chrome, replaced the rectangular steps with the 4" round ones and replaced my 18"Z71 wheels with some 18" Sierra/Yukon wheels.  Unique stock grill replacement coming soon

      Doors lock and mirrors fold in while driving

      By BIGBOYS · Posted

      I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
