Was out running some errands on a nice fall day and had to stop at the mall. Found a pretty good parking spot though.

 

With a car as sharp as that I'd find the same parking spot too. Maybe even a little further out....

Thanks, I'm really enjoying it.

Yellow things are to protect splitter during transport. I asked the dealer to leave them on. I have a couple more steep driveways I need to test before I take them off.

Guy who goes to the local cars and coffee needed to keep those on he has destroyed his splitter

Nothing $175 won't fix. :nopity:

I hear the factory protectors go for $50 on ebay but I haven't looked.

Big project of the day - I removed the yellow splitter protectors, looks much better. They are held on with reusable push pins so I put them in the trunk in case they are needed sometime. They could be reinstalled in a minute or so. Then I went and picked up oil for the fist oil change.

Yeah. We're getting sub-40 degree mornings and the tires aren't good below 40.

For this one I bought an extra set of the "all seasons" to hope to drive longer in the fall - as long as there is no snow or ice. The Pirelli summer tires state not warranted if they crack or fail below 40F.

I will keep mine drive able until salt hits the roads

Bought a cover for it, she's going to be sitting out side for a few weeks before she goes into storage. We had a cold snap this weekend and got some snow in surrounding area.

Yeah, remember when I took that of which we shall not speak out on Christmas Eve last year.

Front splliers are only $175 for the hellcats? The ones on the 1LE and Z/28 camaros are $500+

Up here they spray a mix of salt and molasses on the roads in the winter.

 

That crap STICKS and is corrosive as hell!

 

..the fine stones they use aren't too good either. They slide and fly all over the place.

Probably depends how much you break but yes $175. I should probably just order one now to insure I never break it.

    • 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.
