Finally got around to getting my 30" light bar mounted behind the grille. It's only been sitting in my garage for 3 months! Needs to be moved up 1/2", but happy with the outcome. 2"x1/8"x36" steel bar mounted with a Westin EF2, wish I would have went with the B-Force series. Might end up taking this one apart and wrapping the faceplate black (not the cones obviously). Excuse the bugs/dirty truck ?

 

Also shout out to WAMS for the insanely quick turnaround time on the Denali cluster upgrade. Oil change and rear diff service made for a long night before a 2000 mile trip coming up this weekend. Will report back with some pictures, everyone pray for my trans along this journey ?

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.

This is fantastic. I've been waiting for this for six months. 

This is a build gentleman.

Got my new fob case from AJTDesigns! Long story short is at the Toyota dealership I work at I came across these aftermarket fobs, and I looked em up cause I loved seeing em, and they are moderately popular in the Tacoma and 4Runner builds. If it has a roof top tent chances are that they have a fob like this....lol

 

Anyway, I looked on his site and saw he sells these for the 14+ silverado/sierra fobs that are key ignition. He doesn't have anything for any other GM with the push button start. Got an extra button set to have the red panic button, and some extra screws that are red for contrast but it came in a week and was 40 bucks with extra button set and extra screws out the door. Fob only comes with a set of buttons in your choice of color and a set of screws in your choice of color is only about 36$. Check em out, here's the link:

I died reading the “stab your ????” Part.

I got it from aliexpress (Chinese Amazon) for like 50 cents. It compresses, and adjusts with the ring. But not on its own, you have to pinch it to do so. Really was an add on I wanted when ordering something else but I dig it cause nobody else really has them. People always ask about that the most when they see my keys. Real attention grabber for sure. They come in a bunch of colors. If I find the right page on there I’ll link them to you. Took like a month to get em though, just so your aware...

My first job was at a hobby shop (selling rc cars/trucks, models, etc.) and I had one of those on my keychain from something that was turned in defective. At the time I thought chicks would ask me about it since I was young and thought chicks digged cars and car guys. Wasn't till I was well into my 20s that I realized 99% of chicks couldn't tell you the model of the car if they were staring right at it.

      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.

      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.
