MHPrior80 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) 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!!

Sierra Dan Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 18 hours ago, 300 Blackout said: 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Sierra Dan Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I will say Amen if that is the only issue after replacing the entire frame! Why was your frame replaced? Accident or severe rust ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenkeeper Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or filling up with fuel? Be sure to let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpoollane Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Bought the redline lettering Going to place it somewhere new I hate it being right where dirt flys up from the wheel the chrome ones always look grossSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpoollane Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 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 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lsgun1 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Added an AVS Aeroskin, couldn't find many pics of these on Sierra so figured I'd take some and post here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpaul55 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
