haha my gf is already jealous of my truck let alone me spending time on someone else's!

I'm sure she wouldn't mind, she can hang out with my girl while you're busy. They both have something in common, they jealous of the time we spend on our trucks lol

Been dating my girl for 2.5 years, had the truck for around 1 year 3 months, not including time driving, I think I've spent more time with the truck [emoji15]

I can't believe how bad the stock good year tires really are. My new 22's ride so much nicer, even with less side wall.

Ordered some 1/4" thick wheel spacers today, hopefully they will allow me to clear my sway bar. Also ordered some extended sway bar links because amazon.ca had a price error. $6 when they should have been around $30. This should bring my sway bar back to stock angles.

Looks great.

 

One idea on the gmc logo.. what about outlining it in white? or perhaps chrome to match the grill bars? It's a bit hard to read as is.

I've contemplated painting the outline white, but it actually looks way different in real life. It looks like the first picture. Also my grill inserts have been color matched white. There's no chrome left on this truck.

I'm always behind the wheel, very little time to wash mine!

 

I've had mine since November. 11k miles and only 3 washes.

Shameful! LOL

If you've been together 2.5 years she must be relatively understanding... lol

      Navigating senior years.

      By Donstar · Posted

      Yesterday we brought home a 6yr  old Havanese dog from a nearby SPCA.  We've had her for 24 hours and we are delighted with how well she is adjusting to her new home.  It  was a huge decision to adopt a dog at this stage in our lives but we believe we made the right choice!   it was reported that her first 6 years were ones of neglect.  I think she's already realizing her life is going to get a whole lot better...  so is ours!

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      No doubt, I definitely agree with you. However, considering the 6.2 and 3.0 have been catastrophically failing with very little miles, I figured I would put trouble free. I’m at 18,4xx and still not a single issue.

      Slate Electric Truck

      It’s never dry here but it gets hot. My 4 vehicles I keep at home drive an 18 mile loop. One 6 days a week. Two about 3 days each and one once a month. Only one goes on trips about 4 times a year 1000 to 2000 miles each time. One 26 years old gets driven once a month for 22 years. One 14 years old goes 6 days a week. The other two are recent at 2 and 4 years. All are performing normal no extra service other than that would be half of recommended or severe service in the maintenance manual. No extra water or steam out the exhaust or premature plug wear. I would consider an 18 mile loop would be enough. So apparently once a month at 18 miles for 22 years has kept the collector car running well. About 45 minutes a month.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By newdude · Posted

      It is working as designed.  NHT and non NHT trucks have the same exact transmission cooling setup.  NHT just gets a larger radiator.     The transmission cooler loop on these is as follows.     -Transmission out goes into an oil to water heat exchanger (item #1 in the first illustration below).  This exchanger has engine coolant opposite the transmission fluid and uses engine coolant to warm and then regulate the transmission fluid temperature when its in the operating window.   - From the cooler it goes to a thermal bypass valve (item #11 in the 2nd illustration below).  If the ATF has not reached the temp to open the bypass (194F), it loops back.   - When it reaches 194F, the thermostat opens and ATF then flows out to the oil to air auxiliary cooler (item #17 in the 2nd illustration) at the front of the truck.  From there it goes back to the transmission.     Your only fix would be to swap for the PPE thermal bypass delete block which will open the loop to the aux cooler all the time.  It will STILL run warm, probably 170-200F, but that's as low as you'll get it as its still flowing through the oil to water exchanger.
