I'd love to have on of these, but never really had a "need" for one. Maybe one day GM will start making them again AND maybe I'll have a "need" by then. They look awesome!!

Yes, GM is going back into the medium duty market. This time, they will only be sold under the Chevy brand. Chevy-badged Isuzu NPR's are due later this year, and the joint-venture GM/Navistar trucks are due in 2018. Stay tuned.

Hey Guys, just joined this site. I'm looking for some help with my 1995 topkick lowpro. It has the 6.0. I put a new ignition cylinder in it and a new battery. It started right up. I turned it off and tried starting again and it wouldn't turn over. So pulled the starter out thinking it was bad. Had it tested and it was bad. So i put a brand new starter in it and the same thing is happening. There's power all the dash lights come on but it won't kick the starter over. Any thoughts? I appreciate it. I'm mechanical but electrical is not my forta.

Check the fuses, make sure the battery cables and starter connections are tight.  Also make sure the ground between the engine and chassis is good too.  Maybe that new starter went bad?

Can anyone help me figure out my c5500 . Bought a c5500 box truck (EX-UHaul ) for cheap . 8.1 gas with Allison 2200hs (unsure) . Part # Plate is missing from the transmission… I was told it has a 2200hs called dealer they don’t know ****** . Anyways , truck runs good trans doesn’t engage after previous owner brought it back from shop that did tune up ,  fluids and filters plus radiator replacement. Next day he started it and the symptoms  were neutral in every gear . I checked the trans dipstick and it smelled burnt and didn’t look like atf. Looked like motor oil . I’m planning on servicing it this weekend.

I let the truck warm up for about 15 min and it seems like it wanted to engage forward and reverse but felt like it had no atf . That’s why I’m think they put the wrong fluid .
 

Thoughts ?? If I need a new trans can I use the Allison 1000 !!? 
Thoughts !!?

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
