Hey all... I love this site. I learn more here than anywhere else ref my '02 Silverado and p/u trucks in general... I appreciate everyone's comments, good, bad and indifferent. The above truck... bought it new in '02and the plan is to keep for another 10 years...if not longer. Need some major surgery in the front end, ball joints and idle arm... first time I've experienced what I consider a major issue... anyways... always looking forward to everyone's experiences and the great advice; and if I am able to offer advice, I will... thanks all

P.S. I did look at the '17's and got sticker shock big time... e.g., you can buy a small house for the cost of a new truck,... but a wise person once told me, "you can live in your truck, but you can't drive your house..." have a great weekend! [emoji868]

Haha....while that may be true (living in truck, not driving house)....chances are your house will appreciate in value while your truck will depreciate.

...I say, as long as you can maximize the value out of either of them, you'll be a okay.

Like this site but...............I feel there is too much complaining, so I'm going to come here and complain about others complaining because when I complain, it doesn't count as a complaint!

When you click on View new content there's a nice filter menu with which you can tailor what you want too see, it works great for me.

Only reason that I ever found this site was because I was researching a GM truck problem and this site kept popping up. I am betting that the majority of people on here found this site in the same fashion. Huge data base here and tons of useful information.

Well I am offended that you have feelings about complaints on the site.

I have been at forums since that subaru one NASIOC was day one.

2001 or something. (they claimed to be the first on the web once upon a time.)

I was bulletin boards in the 90s.

 

forums brought the lazy ass dummy who is only throwing himself at us with the great keyboard warrior fingers instead of going with the flow.

 

I am a mechanic, the point of view is never digging a hole with a vehicle.

 

I catch onto real world outside, the one people work and suffer in... there is rarely bad in modern times, especially with networking...and for those that fall in...suck it up.

Perhaps we come here to be around others who can't complain around the house, either.

Brothers, I feel your pain.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By AbzDad · Posted

      I have the VSE CCV kit. It is a quality product. Fairly easy installation. I vent it back into the turbo intake horn, like stock. I check the reservoir monthly. I have seen oily water come out. So far, after 6 months I would say it has collected about 8-10 ounces of crap.

      I'm getting out in public more these days and rely on a walker for anything more than short distances.  I am impressed with how kind others are in their efforts to assist when they see me doing the old man walker shuffle!  I find teenagers hanging out at the mall are often the first to get ahead of me to open a door or to offer me the opportunity to get in front of them in a lineup!  I am very fortunate that this is temporary for me and I have a developed a huge appreciation for those seniors struggling to maintain some mobility. Walkers, canes or scooters will assist with mobility but they don't eliminate the challenges.  Chances are the individual using these devices are hurting.  A few kind words of recognition from a stranger can take away the discomfort for a few moments.  I am looking forward to paying forward all of the kindness I have received!

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Curious @newdude, how does this change when a 6L80 is either fitted with a billet converter OR is behind a V6 whose converter isn't a pile of junk? Oh, and are you saying in the above the 4-5-6 clutch's burning up is the result of the converter/pump induced failure or they are just fragile? Thanks in advance for any feedback you may be willing to give.

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      5.3 Sierra with approximately 80,000 miles had a radiator replacement about 6 months ago which required pulling the AC condenser and a vacuum and recharge on the system.  AC cooled fine until about a month ago, when it would suddenly start blowing lukewarm air for 5 minutes at a time at various points throughout the day, then suddenly resume cooling again.  Sometimes its when stopped at an intersection and other times while moving.  I've read about the internal electronics in the compressor going bad on these trucks and not cycling properly, but sounds like many dealers just chase AC issues with a parts cannon.  Also wondering if they charged it correctly when the radiator was replaced.   Is there an easy way to see if these electronically driven compressors are engaging properly, or to check for freeze up, etc.?  Dealer usually wont do much unless they can replicate or I can show them a video of what's going on.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Apparently it doesn't trigger a fault, at least according to my dealer, but in one month its gone from once or twice a week to several times a day, so you can catch it on video and its likely to be seen by the dealer.  I've heard some have replaced only the switch, yet others have required full shifter assembly replacement to the tune of $900+?
