This happened today. Have owned the truck for 2 years this month.  Enjoy driving it every time I get in it!

Thank ya, just the normal videos around. One horizontal cut, bend down, cut out pinch weld, hammer, bend back up, hammer, paint and bolt lol

 

Didn't see much about what to with with the plastic fender besides hacking the ends off. Instead we cut a notch out of the bottom so the full things able to bolt back on without twisting or cutting ends.

Trying to bolt it without cutting anything it would twist bad at this corner. Notch is the way to go, keeps it flush now

Washed and ready for oil change next. Lifetime average mpg has stayed the same with my 275/60r20s. First service since out of 36k warranty. No issues

Did my 37,500 service and Replaced the cabin filter with one of these new fangled K&N lifetime ones. We’ll see how that goes... it fit well tho.

Also that TPMS relearn tool worked like a charm again. [emoji1360][emoji1360]

Was not happy with the chrome rear bumper.  I had previously plastidipped and painted my front bumper but did not change the rear because it wasn't that bad to my eye.  As time has worn on it has grated on me more and more.  This may sound unusual but I wasn't sure what color I wanted to go with for the rear bumper.  The typical answer would be to color match the truck using victory red but I have a black grill so I am also considering going with black.  To try to get a feel I pulled out the plastidip again to painted it up matte black yesterday to see how I feel about it.   The matte black seems to blend well with the grey/black trim.  What do you think?  Matte black, gloss black or red?

Go with the black. There is such a thing as too much red!

I think it looks awesome the way it is. That’s a sharp looking truck. I have been waiting to get the time and maybe an extra hand to vinyl wrap my bumpers.

That is part of the reason I love my black stripes.  That said though since the rear bumper is more trim than it would be red, I think it would be too little red to be worth it.

Thanks.  The chrome is fine with certain truck colors but red and black definitely look better to me with color matched bumpers (or in my case just non-chrome).  When you find the time and get those bumpers wrapped you will be happy you did.

    • 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?
