So just wanted to share with you a recent modification. I changed out my factory grille for a RaceMesh Gothic Style Electropolished Stainless Steel Grille. I was trying to find something different than the mainstream options and one of the recent issues of Truckin Magazine had Robbie Bryant of Keg Media red Silverado Trilogy on the cover running a RaceMesh Grille. So I believe I owe Robbie some special thanks for the inspiration. I researched RaceMesh Grilles further and found them to be a nice family owned business making product in the U.S., win, win! I love my choice, I hope many of you like it as well and if you aren't as sold on it the good news is they have other options to tailor more towards your specific style. Check out both RaceMesh Grilles and RaceMesh Trucks they are different styles with built in LED lighting available from RaceMesh Trucks. Sierra owners you're in luck also. I found their Facebook pages to be the best for research.

 

This is a direct replacement to your entire grille frame. Sorry did not take pictures during install too excited but using the forum there is great information available on removing the grille and all you have to do is reinstall this in its place, easy. Additionally I did change out my black bowtie to an Empire polished aluminum to get a monotone look. Thanks for letting me share a modification that really made me pleased.

Their website looks like its from 2001

Their products keep getting magazine covers, that got my attention. I'm sure they will make improvements as they gain traction in the market place. I did find the social media to be a little easier to use that's why I referenced the Facebook pages.

Wow! I really like it! Looks like itll be easier to shine up vs my current chrome LT grille. Those damn flat parts hold water and spot up like nobodys business.


Great looking truck BTW

      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

      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.

      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.
