I need to do a photoshop of the truck with some K2 outside rear view mirrors on it. I think it would look cool, but I'm not sure if there would be anyway to make a set fit this truck.

there is a set of tow mirrors that will

Well she's all hooked up an running. Great oil pressure compared to the old motor. Only problem is that the shift cable broke, and now I have to wait for a new one. Ugh! It's always something.

I thought so, but I'd only do the tows if I was lifted.

I like the height where it's at now. Still rides decent too which isn't a must, but it's a plus.

 

Installed the steering stabilizer today. I have to do some clean up and paint underneath come spring.

How was the shifter installation? Instal time?

 

My boot is also torn and the shifter has seen better days.

It was somewhat of a pain. Mainly because the bolt holding the shifter in was extremely tight and I didn't have the exact size torx bit that it took. The other bad part was getting to the pug for the tow/haul because I had to take more panels off. Other than that it's pretty smooth sailing.

Thanks, it's coming along.

Not much going on lately, I changed the oil over a week ago now along with adding new front rotors. Going to do another rear differential fluid change soon.1d5ce304a45b01a5779120680582ceb6.jpge50757f096df3908079eea286d5c273a.jpg

Changed the rear differential fluid again today. I'd say it was pretty dirty for being changed two years ago with all the more miles I've put on it. Thinking I'll change it again in another year, and then leave it a while after that.9ea23c5802acda9091c10def018fb8a9.jpg8669359d828243d17000e6e75f79893d.jpg

That's what I need to do to mine. Haven't changed it since I've owned the truck ?

Diff oil IMO gets the most abuse out of all the fluids

Yea the gears look good in mine so I would like to get them pretty clean looking so the fluid stays good longer.

Just ordered the sheet metal to repair the rust on the cab of the truck. Going to order a new rear bumper as well because it is starting to rust pretty good.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
