Anyone know of an affordable sunshade that'l fit the 2014s? The $100 dealer wants for the one with the GMC logo too much for me. Thank you

I got the "gold" version of the Heatshield version by Protrim in Sept. 2013. Fits nice...at the time, they didn't have one for the 2014 with the lane departure sensor and no one else had one either. They told me that if I tried it and it didn't fit, they would refund including shipping. Got it and it fit good enough for me and I didn't want to wait until they had one specifically to fit around the sensor (mine fits behind it a little). Good customer service at Protrim. I had one in my 2011 Silverado and always liked the way it keeps the dash and steering wheel cool in the Texas sun.

 

Of course, now they have one with a cutout for the sensor.

I bought a CoverCraft custom fit sunscreen - folds up to store and makes it easy to put up and remove daily - also come in colors :-) Seems to be a solid build. It does cover the little red flashing security light on the dash near the windshield from being seen from viewing the truck from dead ahead, but I'd bet most of do the same - no big deal for me.

I used one on my 1997 F-150 and it was still in good shape when I gave the F-150 to my son a few months ago. I bought the new one on JC Whitney's Web site.

Another vote for HeatShield by Canvasworks. Rolls up easily and will last.

Have five of them for all my new and old rides. My 90 sub and 83 GP dash is in great shape because of these and they really help to cut the heat build up in your ride. Do not let the 40 dollar price fool you. These are quality.

I bought a new Gold Heatshield with a larger opening at the mirror for the lane departure sensor. If anyone is interested in my slightly used Heatshield without the sensor opening, I will sell it for $20 plus shipping. It comes with a storage bag that it rolls into. PM me if interested.

I just got a $10 one from Walmart, has two parts and folds up into a plate size circle and stores beside the console.

Custom fit, nice case for storage. Absolutely no complaints thus far.

I reviewed this one and purchased it last night. The others that were cheaper - when you add the shipping cost, this one was only was only a few dollars more. I like this one better. Thanks for the tip.

I have one of these for both of my cars and they are great.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the help!   I'm going to stop into the scales one of these days and weigh my axels, for the time being, I am going to run Toyo's recommendations and also do a chalk test. I have a tire shop that's going to try their scanner to reprogram and set the the factory psi values lower, and if they can't I'm going to order a scanner and do it myself!

      Exhaust Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      You won’t do better than stock exhaust without headers. Just put your favorite muffler on it and it will do the job.

      Exhaust Question

      By C. Hart · Posted

      I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"     I'd say its the head, and its either leaking at the casting line and dripping down the intake into the cylinder, or its another spot on the casting itself at the cylinder that is getting wet.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.
