Washed it, clayed it, sealed it and waxed it. 4 hours later it was raining very hard.

Man isn't that the way it goes sometimes. Take pride in that water beading!

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.

I just love driving a clean vehicle, inside and out. I bought some leather cleaner and conditioner.

 

I love when you condition the seats they're so smooth you just slide in and out. Also when the outside of the truck is so clean when you look in your side mirrors your truck reflects everything around out.

The power wire from the door sill is basically is plug into slot #1 "Gray plug from the BCM. The ground wire is grounded to the body" driver side panel.

Well after about 18 months of service my powder coated raptor nerf bars started to develop some serious rust, I emailed the MFR for a warranty claim and asked if I could swap 'em for the stainless bars and they obliged, I paid the difference in cost of $100.00. The bars showed up yesterday and I put 'em on. I was surprised that these didn't last that long given the ten year warranty but, hopefully the SS bars will hold up even though I like the looks of the powder coated bars.

Where did you get those illuminated door sills? Am I missing something or do you have 2 drivers side sills?

The sills is listed for the Tahoe/Suburban .but it also fit the Silverado since they have the same frame.

The Z71 sill is the one that came with my truck.. pictures is for comparison between the Silverado and the Tahoe illuminated sill.

 

I bought them here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2015-Tahoe-Suburban-Illuminated-Door-Sill-Plates-Black-22933513-Genuine-OEM-GM-/231539933859?fits=Make%3AChevrolet%7CModel%3ATahoe&hash=item35e8db02a3&vxp=mtr

How does it work for the passenger side? Is there a wire that runs over?

Today I took the Pro Comp rims off and put the factory 18's back on. After realizing I don't use this truck as a truck, because the '91 does everything. This truck is basically a commuter for me and I don't need that big of a payment for that. So the truck is being traded in on a 2015 Escape AWD, it's my first Ford since my 05 F150, but it was a really good deal and I even made money on the Silverado… I hate to see it go, but I could use that money on other things (looking at buying a 78 4 speed Malibu coupe)…

 

I'll still be around with the '91, it'll be getting a little more attention now too…

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that.

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
