Put the wheels and tires off of the Coronet on the Duster last night, then took it to a ar show in town. Where she overheated. I've gotta get an electric fan for stop and slow go driving. She did not like it. On the highway it's fine, never goes over 190, in town she climbed to 255 and spit coolant all over, I shut her down, let her cool down added some water and drove her home with no issues. Currently shopping for an Efan, and a better fan shroud (or material to make a better one).

We have used multiple Flex-a-lite set ups similar to link below. Have to measure your radiator to get correct one. We have had very good luck with them. Actually getting ready to order this one for my nova.

New Ridetech shocks, VB&P 32mm swaybar, and a bunch of new Poly bushings and boots on the C4. Man what a difference. Not done yet, but a good chunk of it that hopefully will get me to the winter when I'll do the rest.

Here's a sampling of the old crap that came out. Mostly looked like this:

Drove it to work today and very happy with the results.

Wonder if those stripes will be an option. Not that I'd want bowties everywhere, but the 5th gens had all sorts of special editions.

It was part of the hood wrap rear also had em

Well, another year or so and those ZL1s will be popping up 20k off with 3-4k on the odometer, if the 5th gens was any indication(remember that one I do found in Chicago with 12 miles for 14k off:lol:). I have noticed the depreciation slowed way down after year 2-3. I think the big initial hit happened when the market/demand is saturated. Won't be too long, they are already easy to find.

    • I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.
    • I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments
    • Looks like the entire state is burning. 😬
    • Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
