Not bad! While I like the midnights, those larger 20 inchs make up for the lack of black. Did you stick with Michelin's or did you go with something else? I can't tell what new brand you have on your beaut.

The 20's have the factory Goodyear SR-A tire's on them. I was not a fan of them on my 1500 and I haven't heard anything better about them on our 2500's. So, I'll likely end up with the Michelin Defender LTX like I put on my 18's only a few thousand miles ago. Not the coolest looking tire out there, but very quiet, nice ride, and plenty of grip for going and slowing.

I seen that post where someone brought that up, you will research everywhere you can but you will never find anything/anyone that will say that a GM HD truck runs any warmer with it removed.

 

I managed a huge fleet of them that not only had them removed but also had plow mounts installed making it even worse, these trucks were pulled to death and never had one run warm.

Too bad they wouldn't style the bumper & air dam like the Super Dutys so that if you have to take the air dam off (for plowing or off highway use) the front end doesn't look butchered.

Thank you, and yes I know! I drive a 2004 single cab 8 foot bed red Silverado now (not for long) and thought it was going to be about the same. Got in the 2015 yesterday and realized just how huge this "tank" really is. It is 4-5 feet longer than my current truck, wider, taller, and just so huge. I am going to have to "learn" how to drive it. Plus I will need help figuring out all of the buttons and gadgets.

Father had a '79 GMC crew cab, don't get any longer than that. LOL

When I had the bedliner put in my old truck the guy said he hated white trucks. So I asked why. The pigment in white is Titanium dioxide and it makes white one of the hardest color coats. Hard to scuff to put on the liner.

 

It's kind of stuck as evidenced by my garage.

 

3 diesels and 3 white vehicles (maybe not the same 3)

Nice Regal. I'm partial to G bodies since my other vehicle is an '86 Monte Carlo SS.

Had a brief foray with a Ram 2500 that had the 6.4L V8 Gas engine. Loud engine tick at cold start and constant clatter at idle - the thing sounded like an ecodiesel. Dealership acknowledged there was something wrong, but could not determine what it was. Chrysler recommended to "tear into the engine to see what's wrong". Dealer refused to do any work until they knew what was wrong. Tried to convince me nothing was wrong with it. Never had an issue with my previous 2 Silverado 1/2 tons. Shame on me. Dumped the Ram, disclosed the sounds with the Chevy dealer, took a loss, and got the 3500 Duramax/Allison. Happy camper.

 

Here are some pictures. Had the running boards installed yesterday. Will get some more pictures up later.

Drove thru the NE part of AR & the 'heel of MO last spring. Different than the farming up in Ontario.

Nice pic w/ the fall colours. It would be nice to get a shot like that here, but no car wash & we're on a well, so I hesitate to wash the truck @ the house.

      87 down as low as $5.14 here... winning!

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
