ha... forget about "new car smell" when STRM opens up his truck door...  i thought they smelt bad... on the outside!  ha! ha!

 

also - STRMTRPR.... you mentioned white leather interior....  my neighbour had an old mustang a few years ago and got the interior redone and did white leather.  he LOVED the look but it was brutal to keep clean.  he often wore jeans and quickly noticed the seats were becoming blue.  he tried everything to keep the seats white but it was a losing battle.  odds are they will discolour fairly quickly.  heh...  perfect time to use another classic solo quote:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYX-NSZMqt0

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.

Today, I drove out to Edwards AFB, picked up my wife after we dropped off her CR-V for its first set of new tires, drove to Rosamond for breakfast, Lancaster for some shopping, Mojave to go talk to CHP, Tehachapi to buy a couple diodes for some light mods, back to Rosamond to grab my hitch (forgot it when I left the house this morning), back to Edwards AFB to pickup wife’s car and a trailer for tomorrow’s parade in Boron, and then home for the night.  Crossed the 400 mile mark and the 500 mile mark.  Truck and trailer are out front ready to go.  Will post pictures after the parade, when I have them.

Drained my differential fluid after the first 500 miles of driving with my new 4.56 gears per Yukon’s instructions. On the day the gears were installed, I placed two DX06SH magnets on the OUTSIDE of the differential cover. These magnets are remarkably strong 37-59lbs of pull force) and are made to withstand high temps. They are about the size of three stacked quarters. Here is a pic of the inside of the cover where all the sludge was attracted to the magnetic field of these magnets. Glad this stuff wasn’t allowed to float around and contaminate my new bearings. For comparison, look at the fill plug to the left where the factory magnet is INSIDE and in contact with the fluid.

Sorta related, Banks on their YouTube channel is doing a really interesting series on Diff covers.

.. action shot of auto tailgate

 

https://youtu.be/U5JF6jdJlfY

.. opens great via gravity - stock rake parked at ~6° decline ..however with the tonneau closed the seal across the top of the tailgate puts enough pressure/drag on it to keep gravity from opening.. original plan was to install a door popper for shaved doors but I don't think something that strong is required .. need to mull over some other options

Is there a part number for these?  Trying to search with just keywords seems to bring up so much random crap but I'm not finding these.

Yeah, it's funny you say that. I've been watching that. Very interested to see the final outcome. Makes me wonder if they will release a cover for the 1500.

      2020 Silverado 1500 8speed gm needs to recall transmission

      By Sdid · Posted

      I have A 2020 1500 5.3 8 speed. LTZ. Transmission problems since 60,000 miles. Started when I go to store in morning to get my morning coffee before work leave truck running get back in put it in drive/ rev no movement step on gas a little slams into gear. Put in neutral step on gas little shake then put in gear and gose.  Shut truck off start .. ok now at stop light stop truck after a few seconds feel a little kick if that doesn’t happen stuck in 3/4 gear shut truck off wait few seconds and start usually ok again. If you down shift manually ok as long as you get into 1st before stop. If not it kicks . I WANT A NEW TRANSMISSION. Now I want a new truck it just hit 80,000 IDK IF ILL BUY CHEVY CAUSE THEY STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO RECALL . Oh I’ve changed the fluid and filter 3 times now. And yes used mobile 1 not ac/delco cause it’s not meeting the requirements that mobile is did use ac/delco filter

      Joke Thread

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.
