I work with mostly women and they all think my truck is black.   I would like to see one of these black trucks set up like mine. My GMT-900 was black and I decided to go with the Iridium Metallic

Well I finally took the dive and did some paint correcting from the dealer installed swirl marks. Clayed, two stage polish, sealed and waxed. Keeping a new truck clean is a second job; keeping a black

14 LT 4.3L 2WD

Any specific reason you went with the small V6 engine instead of the more common 5.3L V8? I don't see many V6 GM trucks in my area, most dealerships only stock the 5.3L, 6.2L 1/2 ton pickups. It was very rare to find the 4.8L on dealer lots also. If you wanted eith the V6 or smaller V8, they usually have to do a dealer trade or order one for you.

 

Nothing wrong with that engine, just curious as to why you made the decision to go small in the full size pickup. I am not really up to speed on the current V6 GM engines but I did own 3 different S10's with the Vortec 4.3L and it was a strong little engine, thirsty, but strong.

 

After having your truck for a while, how do you like that engine so far?

My dealership was trying to get rid of their 2014s. Msrp for this truck was 39k. I paid 30K. Brand new. At that time i was looking at the 5.3L and ppl kept complaining about the engine. The 4.3L has enough power for me and im impressed about it. I didn't buy this truck to haul or save gas but back in March i drove from NJ to FL and got 27MPG which surprised me. I love this truck and even when its dirty, i still get looks.

I had a 2015 SLE double cab 2 wd 4.3 as a loaner last week. For normal driving, it was the same as my 5.3. The DIC showed 18.3 where I average 14.8 or so. It was very smooth and ran great.

That midnight edition looks amazing!!

Thank you sir, it gets a bunch of looks from all ages. It surprises me the attention it gets from both genders. The wife gets a little jealous when the ladies act like she's not right next to me. She made the comment "I think I'm going to have to drive it only... because of all the women checking you out" I said, "that's fine as long and you bring them home to me also, i don't care." lmao. She punched me in the arm...it hurt...that's how i know she was mad.

Here is a picture of mine after I cleaned it up a couple of months ago. Nothing special been done to it except I debadged the tailgate and painted the front bowtie black. I am still debating if I want to take the silverado emblem off the doors or not but haven't had time to deal with it.

Just picked up my new truck last week. Now I have to decide what to modify to make it my own d699b39e5c10c9cd0f01536ea8adc37c.jpgbd1e44e606ec033a22c3589d8137cb14.jpgb09a3863060dd13c4f166ae4788a40d8.jpg

If it was mine, I would swap out the mirror caps and door handles for black ones. Only because there's nothing else that's chrome on the truck. I like some chrome, but not a lot and the chrome needs to be in the right places. Having just the mirror caps and handles chrome doesn't look right to me on a black truck where nothing else is chrome. Just my opinion though.

I would black out your front and rear GMC emblems, and I would either black out our remove your All Terrain Badges and your sierra on the rear. I plasti dipped mine black. Tint your Windows too

      Sugar Bears 2015 GMC Terrain SLE-2 2.4 AWD

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔

      cam upgrade in CA

      By AidenVorpagel · Posted

      hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      Update. I started chasing down my symptoms. Started first with pulling valve covers and looked at everything. Everything looked good and couldn't hear or feel anything different. Then a compression test. 240 psi or really close on each cylinder. I was worried I was a tooth off of timing. Not bad for an engine with 173,000. Granted I did put new heads on. I sprayed water around the injector area to see if I could hear a change. Nothing. I hooked up my new hp tuner which I should have done in the first place but I don't really know what I'm looking at just yet but am learning. I noticed the fuel trims were way off so that told me I have to have either a bad injector or exhaust leak. New injectors, so I did the shop vac on blower and in the tail pipe. Sprayed soapy water and found the exhaust flange on the drivers side was leaking. I didn't think it would be that considereding I pulled the heads and left the manifolds attached. I did have the transmission replaced not long ago. They must have not seated them properly but I guess I didn't notice. I put in new gaskets on both sides. Which by the way isn't a bad job but I had a hard time getting them to seal right. Took two attempts. Reset the fuel trims and the ticking is gone, engine runs smooth and acceleration has improved. Got to feel the real difference with that stage 1 cam. It's not that big of a difference but it does add a little more. It feels like how the truck should have been from the factory.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.
