Picked up a U-Haul 6x12 trailer, last night.  Hauled our living room seating down to San Diego, today, and bringing mother-in-law’s living room seating back up to the Antelope Valley, tomorrow, in time to be off of I-15 before the Vegas rush.

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

Nice where did you get that?  Like that's not so short.  Does it get good reception?


I’d be careful with anything but stock. Bought two separate Billet stubby Antennas from Cravenspeed and both had horrible reception. Put factory back on and all is great again.

That’s why I stayed away from Cravenspeeds. Not very good reviews. I’m not a huge radio person anymore so not a deal breaker if reception on this antennae is bad. Bought it more so i can avoid hitting crap in the parking garage at work.

I use satellite, FM radio and need my antenna even more now as let’s me know clearance especially in parking garages. I’m actually debating cutting off a little bit as I do agree it gets annoying smacking overhanging pipes, lights etc in parking garage ceiling.

Tried radio this morning, no noticeable impact to am or fm radio.

Just got my rear seat windows and back windshield tinted down to 5%, installed S&B Cold air intake last night and temporarily got my new dash cam installed. Plan on finishing dash cam install tonight with a better mounting location and hiding the power wire. Also going to install new cabin air filter and change the oil this weekend

Just got a Christmas bonus from work and am torn on what to spend part of it on. 

Option one: T-Rex LED light bar grille

Option 2: Buy multiple items like S&B CAI, dash cam, and other smaller items that add up to roughly the same cost

 

Any input my friends?

You can donate it to the Trump Border Wall Go Fund Me Site !   :lol:

Finally got around to running the power wire for my audio system. After reading/seeing how much of a pain it would be to go through the firewall I decided to go under the truck. I ended up finding a plastic plug that was right below where the amp will go so I drilled that out and installed a compression style waterproof grommet. IMG_2428.thumb.JPG.2001ea3e3ecd6f155db2079b9f79a474.JPG

I cut a bit of the foam carpet padding out and cut an  X in the carpet to fit snugly around the grommet.

I like the idea behind these and the the z roadz brackets but for what they are the price just doesn’t line up. Over $100 for just the bracket seems off to me.

Covered the wire in braided loom, ran it through the gaps in the body supports and zip tied it to a wire bundle behind the wheel well liner right up to the battery. Also, split loom would not fit all the way through the gaps but I ended up doubling it on top of the braided loom and pressed it as far as I could into each gap opening to have extra protection where it contacted metal edges.

I totally agree. It is pricey.... I wasn’t gonna buy one for myself. I was trying to make me a set with scrap metas I have laying around but Gf saw how horrible my welding skill was.... and she said she’ll just buy one for me. Sooooo BAM! hahah.

Lol! My welding “skills” burned some nice holes in my parents epoxy garage floor.

I like how sdhq’s mount to the truck body not the hood.

      The 92-95 SCPI spider injectors are notoriously problematic and hard to source new replacements. I’d pull the intake manifold first to inspect cracked lines and brittle plastic legs before dropping $350 on a rebuild. The 1.5 OBD system only offers limited data, no misfire tracking, which is normal for this 1995 model. Enjoy the project!

      Yea a fluid change is in order here. Honestly, your transmission didn’t even get hot. During the summer in stop and go traffic I’ve seen my 8l80 get up to 216 and it was still shifting smoothly.

      I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By LCH14 · Posted

      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.
