I would have a shop look at it. Those brackets bend super easy behind the bumper. Measure the gap between the bumper and grill/lights/front wheel wells. That’s what happened to mine when a girl slammed on her brakes at a stop sign after she started going because “she got scared”. Bumper wasn’t too bad, but the brackets were toast and bumper was all misaligned.

Yeah my buddy told me the bumper is pushed up now about 1/4” were the fenders are u can kinda see in the picture , plan on fixing it once I get it repainted. Just glad I don’t have to buy a new bumper ? and my insurance didn’t go up!

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.

Changed out the puddle lights to the bowtie.  Not quite properly oriented but still look damn good even in lit areas.  Will have to wait until tomorrow to see how it looks in sunlight.PXL_20210216_002437953.thumb.jpg.5e95200dcd7e30a78bb372ecc735da44.jpgPXL_20210216_002452723.thumb.jpg.6df0d4077627b8066e66baed3b83357e.jpg

you don't have to take the mirrors off, the puddle lights just clip off/on, you will want to dremel the back of the puddle light a bit so it will fit right, the plastic/epoxy on them just need a slight trimming.

Your link isn’t working [mention]Frankielozano214 [/mention].

Also, Austin winter weather has been rough. Really wishing I would have picked the 4x4 when I bought my truck. Was avoiding a spinning car and got stuck in the snow on my way to work. A nice passerby in a tundra helped me out. He told me he loved my truck and if it wasn’t for his ex wife he would have bought a GMC, so that’s good. [emoji23]6759d7997f36e7cd370f78fab84e4714.jpg

Yea, the assist steps act as "snow shoe", they put you right on top of the snow. I buried myself once, but was able to rock the truck out in 4LO with a little bit of patience. 

 

Always a good day when a nice person helps someone in need, wish there were more of them out there.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yes.   Yes.   We might be intermingling ideas with the term 'severity', in one of my past vehicles it could pull up DTC via the vehicles own user interface, at any given time when one would do this there would be an assortment of codes that were 'trivial' including 'communication' issues. This would generate a bunch of, potentially false alerts or some many that they would get ignored. Which you mentioned earlier.    You also mention several things that might be redundant with the vehicles own systems or indicators: The truck has an oil pressure gauge, monitoring it via this other system wouldn't be a priority except in comparison to other values or if there is an actual oil pressure problem.   Same thing for miss-fires or other problems, the MIL already signals the operator to an issue...   ...to the point about what one wants to see first, if there is a miss fire detected, I want to see miss fire counts or fuel trims first, if I have an oil pressure problem I want to see the oil pressure first. So, perhaps the 'systems' that are showing abnormalities are what gets displayed first.   I think your device is what connects at the OBD port, ease of use for the consumer, it could still have a 'pass-through' port for a second scanner, computer, etc.   Yes.   Based on my comment above, if an error appears, the report would be more specific to the system having an error.

      Slate Electric Truck

      I like the idea.  I thought about putting a deposit a few years ago when they first dropped.  I still want to drive one and have inquired about doing this with them, like a ride and drive event they said they are coming but it hasnt happened even with them built in Indiana.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      That's a tough spot to be in, I personally would question spending 1/2 the book value on a repair vs. selling it as-is.    Presuming you own it out right, sell it for 10k and have a down payment for a replacement truck, or spend 10k on the one you already have...   I still think there is a cheaper transmission out there via recyclers, aftermarket or rebuild. (Cheaper than 5k for the unit)

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Sadly, there's a drought of good 92-95 4.3 cars at junkyards in the area otherwise I would have gone fishing for parts. Not that they don't come up, there's just nothing good in the yards right now.   I tore into the intake yesterday evening, easier than I thought, and I might have this problem licked for cheap. Two of the intake studs came up with the bolt on removal, no big deal but that's why it looks funny with studs only on one side.   There's pooled gas on both sides of the plenum. Highlights boxed in green. Picture-right side has an obviously split pressure line from rubbing on the #5 injector nylon line. #5's line is worn in that spot but not all the way through. Passenger side intake (picture left), not sure, but I think the pressure regulator is hosed. Rebuilt spiders don't come with the pressure and return hoses so I'll need to replace those no matter what. A pressure regulator is $30 so I'll try that and if I end up having to swap the whole spider, it was $30. I'll be grinning ear to ear if that's all I need.   Parts arrive Tuesday.   Sure enough the shop was here before. That's a new gasket. Vacuum lines and wiring are a tangled mess, I sorted that out last night as well. Spent about an hour just picking up general slack and shoddy reassembly around the engine bay. Cheek-pokered the battery tray, got it all cleaned up. Sometimes things just need a little elbow grease and a few minutes of time to be right again.
