2010 Silverado. Installed LED bulbs from retro solutions in the reverse light. Had problems with the reverse bulbs illuminating when applying the brakes while driving. Replaced with normal halogen bulbs and the problem goes away. Do I need to add a resistor in the reverse circuit or do I have an electrical gremlin! Thanks in advance.

  Very nice truck. I’m a strange one. I never considered trucks family vehicles. Work or personal vehicles for men. Watching kids or ladies climb into trucks can be amusing. I tried for retirement but the wife didn’t take long with her displeasure. That led to our first SUV. Now a minivan. People really miss the boat on that one. Even a midsized truck was vetoed. My wife’s car is off limits. That’s ok by me. I could do a full sized car ok. But for an old guy you have to sit first then bring the legs in. Then spin towards the door put both legs out then stand up. Mini vans are just high enough to step in and sit. Step out and walk. I hear the Toyota Crown is kinda like that. I’ll try that sometime. Go ahead and laugh, you’ll be old someday. A regular cab truck. I’m kinda looking for an older GM V-8. The Ridgeline is OK. But we’re not exactly speaking the same language. It’s a looker. But I’m missing that GM feeling, an old GM.

  For clarity: per the manufacturer the 6.6L takes 8 quarts of oil with a filter replacement. I always add that amount which puts near the top of the dipstick range.
- Tonneau cover that does not leak water

  Looking to purchase a used Sierra and want to have a tonneau cover put on at the dealer if possible, to avoid the back-and-forth with shipping & delivery of a cover. Does anyone have a tonneau cover they can recommend that is completely watertight? I've had BakFlip MX4, Retrax, and it seemed like everything leaks water from light rain to a heavy downpour. I've been asked by several clients to start a marketing business, I did marketing videos for them pro-bono over the past few years and they think I'd be great to do it professionally. So the truck may have drones, laptops, cameras, and video production gear. Everything is in Pelican cases, but I'm sure something will get wet such as paperwork or a backpack like I have experienced before. The rest of the time this truck will be used for long trips towing a travel trailer, so I'd think a tonneau cover can also help if I'd like to equip the truck with bed rails to haul mountain bikes or a kayak. I am even considering a topper if that would be best for the combined marketing/video/event production business & RVing use the truck will see.

  Thank you. I ended up passing on that truck, it was $29k with 99k miles and local to me (Illinois). Played that game once before, passed a much better condition vehicle for one that was closer. $10k in engine work and $6k in transmission work later, it never drove right, and by that point the age & mileage made it worth close to nothing. I now remind myself, a plane ticket and an Uber is a lot cheaper than buying the local truck with issues and having buyer's remorse. Now looking at this for $26k: https://southernwholesale.net/vdp/23915469/Used-2021-GMC-Sierra-1500-SLT-Crew-Cab-Short-Box-2WD-for-sale-in-Trussville-AL-35173 And AutoCheck looks good: https://autocheck.dealercarsearch.com/Default.aspx?VIN=EPWlh9Ow3ceghogyxJFSf4bAycMno2xr4%2fK1GUasMDw%3d&DealerId=25052 This one from Carmax is high ($32k), but some people swear by the Maxcare warranty: https://www.carmax.com/car-detail/27952269 And this one for $33k seems insanely high priced, but it got a new engine at 120k, and no mention of transmission work except for fluid changes: https://www.alejandrocars.com/inventory/2021-gmc-sierra-1500-127941 Just trying to not repeat my first used car purchase, being so underwater I had to sell it to a high school w/vocational shop class because nobody would buy a recently repaired lemon.
