I went to fresno ca to pick up some parts for work. And at a light a red lt crew cab was sitting next to me. I seen that he had black window strips.. started talking went to a near by parking lot.. long story short I did the swap. Took me less than 10 minutes total mine and his.. gosh I'm so happy.. next is the handles.

Is nobody else curious about the creaper with the bug?

lmao it's from the movie the signs.. when I attach pics they are way to big and so what I do is I edit them and add a pic and they become smaller.. way easier to post pics and it's kinda entertaining the viewers.. or mind games lol

Yeah lots of people apparently assume chrome is preferred by everyone and is an 'upgrade'. I have an SLE with chrome window trim and really prefer it over the black but that's me, I also like chrome handles and mirror caps better but mine are color matched.

thanks. My handles should be in Monday or tuesday. Then taking them to get painted. I'm just gonna order the painted oem grill. Cause if I was to have mine blasted the painted.. would be more than the oem painted one.. front bumper and headlights will follow but the back bumper will be last! Considering I'm ditching the oem one and putting an all terrian

Why are you putting on the All Terrain bumper? Unless it is painted I think all of the bumpers are the same now. They are either chrome or painted and all have the steps now.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
