Had the tires mounted and balanced on the new wheels. Front end alignment done. I should have the rear blocks and Bilstein shocks installed tomorrow. My friends truck is in the background with Mcgaughys lift and 35’s.

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

2” lift blocks and Bilstein 5100 shocks went on the back end today. It has a nice stance front to back now in my opinion. Wheels are 20x10 Havok H112 with -24 offset. Tires are Atturo Trailblade MT 33x12.5

let's see installed the drivers side o-****** handle
got a wheel back that was bent and fixed now
routed my bass control knob under the steering column and somehow disconnected a wire on the alarm
drove over to the alarm shop to get that fixed and on the way back I decided to take her up about 110 to see if my vibration is gone from the wheel being bent and it is 90% gone

in the process sped by a highway patrol and promptly received a ticket for 70 in a 65 (lol, he was cool about it after I explained I was "checking for vibration")

I guess I got the correct one, I initially ordered it off of Amazon but after waiting a couple weeks for it to finally ship they somehow screwed that up and it got returned before it ever arrived and after I waited another week I called and finally got a refund the next day so I just ordered it off ebay for like $3 more and it arrived in about 3 days. :) I figure it may come in handy sometime after the lift is installed

I was about to suggest to do something to accent the curves of the hood.  THAT WORKS!!!

Im thinking this matte black wrap on my truck would have a very cool murdered look.

2 Qs:

 

1) Should I (and others) be nervous that you're selling this? Changing careers?

2) How in the world do you only have 39K miles on that thing? Now you got me thinking I should sell my 2015 (with 81K). :0)

1. No sir. The used truck market is crazy for me not to consider selling. This will also allow my to focus new developments on T1XX trucks :). Will continue to support products and services on K2XX.

2. Truck sits in the driveway and I work from home. :). This ain’t no pavement princess. More like a driveway Queens ;)

Got a bunch of parts in, still need to order long tubes, and find a valve spring compressor that isn’t 100 dollars plus lol. Anyone have a used one they no longer need before I machine one?

Did you have problems with the 6.2 ?  Or are you just upgrading and getting rid of the AFM ?

Just like the suspension, I got a hell of a deal on the parts.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      Slate Electric Truck

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

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

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
