Washed and detailed the truck and installed the DL3 mirrors and PGamboas’ mirror harnesses!! Lovin’ it! Next up only 2 more mods to the interior (heated steering wheel and swap wood grain trim for off-road carbon fiber). Thanks again Phil!!

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 my illusive oil leak and am happy to say it’s a simple fix. There were never drops of oil under the truck, just a small amount of oil on the lower radiator support, electrical harnesses and trans cooler line. Originally I thought it was the trans line but after getting out the ol’ bore scope, I found one of my engine oil cooler lines wasn’t seated completely in the GM push-lock style fitting. Once I removed the black cover which protects the C locking ring, I was able to see part of the ring wasn’t sitting flush. Looking closer, I could see that one of the retaining tabs on the ring was only partially seated. I’m gonna replace the entire fitting rather than mess with this one. Grand total of $7.

These clips were a PITA to get re-seated when I installed a new AC Condenser. Key was to get the

cooler line piping all the way in so the clips could properly set all the way in.

Did you replace your condenser at some point?

The dealer replaced it a year ago. The truck had the frame replaced in January and this likely occurred then. If so, this is literally the only hiccup from that service. I’ve been very pleased with the work that shop did.

I will say Amen if that is the only issue after replacing the entire frame!

Why was your frame replaced? Accident or severe rust ?

Brought it in for its 15K mile maintenance, 14,131 on it, now.  It’s being washed, now.  Then I’m going to go get some food for tomorrow’s dinner party. Making Kalua Pig, rice, Mac salad, and serving it with Hawaiian King dinner rolls or buns.

Will you be taking a dump after that?  Or filling up with fuel?  Be sure to let us know.  :D

I will do this for the next one.

 

 

I don’t know if it’s the same for everywhere but onstar gave me a statement saying that if my vehicle is ever stolen and they can’t find it they will gift me $xxxx amount of money I’ll see if I can find it in my files if you want me to take a photo

Added an AVS Aeroskin, couldn't find many pics of these on Sierra so figured I'd take some and post here.

Cool! If you find it, I’d certainly appreciate it, but don’t go to much trouble.

On another Note: I drove a 2019 GMC AT4 loaded with a 6.2. My goodness!

I did this all a few weeks ago but just now getting around to posting it.  Installed a pair of ARH headers that i got from a member here along with new NGK spark plugs and MSD wires while I was in there.  I then got a Magnaflow 12587 to 3" tips installed with a BBP tune. As of right now i think the MF 12587 is too quiet.  Im fairly certain with this setup the engine noise/header noise is louder than the back end of the truck.  Im leaning towards either a MF 14161 or a Jones 3535XL to a single 5" tip dumped after axle.  The BBP tune is easily the best mod I've done so far. I highly recommend it to anyone that has any sort of shifting issue with the 8 speed tranny.  It completely transformed how the truck drives and its much more enjoyable now.

So what’s involved in the BBP Tune? Other than the tune itself? Any physical upgrades? Or all computer? I’ve never done that type of mod before but I’m increasingly interested in something like this having had the truck for a bit now and seeing for myself what everyone doesn’t like about how the 8-sp shifts.

No physical upgrades are required. The tunes will work with a stock truck or all the way up to heavily modified.

 

You record a data log from a driving session with the tuner device (AutoCal), and pull the stock ecu and tranny maps. Email them those 3 files to them with whatever your goals are for the tune (remove speed limiter, firmer shifts, remove torque management,  etc.) And they will email you back your new tune. You then upload your new tune to the truck.  Its a very easy process.

      I will be one of those "blinded". One, I like new shiny things. Two, I've never kept any of them beyond the 3/36. Three, I don't finance anything. Four, yep, it's a waste of money....so,what?

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By marpel · Posted

      Although there is a "recommended" weight by those who sell trailers, my experience has been that they are way too aggressive in their information, for me at least. My '22 with 6.6 Gas, has a payload of about 3400 lbs and depending on your specs (I don't have 4WD so it has a bit higher Payload than others) yours will likely be different. Payload is one of the most important numbers for towing. Although you "could" tow the max trailer weight for your truck, I, personally, would not go close to that number. Having said that, a lot depends on how/where you will be towing. I live in the LMD of BC and often tow to Denver, Co, along interstates (flat and mountains) and I find I need to keep it in 5th (6spd) for the trip and travel at around 65mph. This is for a trailer dry weight of just under 3500lbs. If you are only doing local, short trips, it would not be that big an issue if you had a heavier unit. You will be surprised how much stuff you load the trailer with, so I would only recognize the trailers "full" GVWR weight rating, then decide on the appropriate trailer from that number. If you are worrying about how much stuff you should be putting in a trailer, you might have too large a rig from the get-go. Once again, depending on what terrain/distance in which you will be pulling. Marv

      Disconnecting Battery

      By marpel · Posted

      davester, Thanks for the response, how ever, I think I am now a bit more confused than I was before I posted - - After I posted, I actually found a YT video of a guy who replaced his Module (above tire) and he only disconnected the ground cable of the battery, but you describe rubbing the two cables together after disconnecting. I presume that is to do as you describe and eliminate any residual energy? - When I picked up the Module (between my posting and reading your response) from the dealer, I specifically asked about any re-programming and he stated it was not necessary as it was simply plug and play. Don't know how knowledgeable he is, though. - The video I watched also showed the Module plug to be difficult to "unlock" and remove, but there was no mention of silicone, although the video did show a bunch of dust/dirt in and around the plug (old truck) during removal. Are you talking about silicone that was applied by the factory, or silicone that you applied prior to plugging in? Thanks again, Marv
