So I thought this might be a cool topic to bring up. Unless you live in Texas you don’t really realize how far it is from Austin to Dallas Or Dallas to Houston. We get into projects where you need more than one set of hands. It would be nice to know people were willing to travel a little to help the form number.

I live in Marblefalls, TX which is about 45 miles NW of Austin. If someone needs some help let me know, I commute to Austin everyday for work.

I know this is an old thread but I live in the Austin area and all my family is in Houston so I make my way down there often. If hands or tools are needed, I'm down to show up and turn some wrenches. ?

Hi Guys, well GM bought back my problematic 2017 and gave me a 2019 Sierra 1500 Denali.

 

I could use some help, I want to add the front leveling kit and rear blocks. I bought everything from Suspension Maxx but I cant find information on the Torque specs, could also use a hand or two.

 

I live in Leander, any takers?

 

Thanks,

Steve

Did you ever get any upgrades going?  I'm here in San Antonio and a first time Silverado owner.  Just curious.

 I'm out of the way from most places.
Halfway between I10and I20.

30 miles North of Ft Stockton, 60 miles from Odessa.
 I can't do much on my own now.

 Mostly small stuff.
 I have a shifter to install, so I can have more than [R]everse and [D]rive.Missing 2 or 3 screws,not sure if my junkbox has any that will fit the bill.
 And trying to get two tires installed.

 Vehicle is not on the road at this time, need to get the tries on and get it inspected.

 It has a nice Aluminium tool box,but alas, I need to remove it,, as I need to haul round bales,and the box is around 6 ',not long enough for both. My Ram has a toolbox that was no problem, because it has an 8'+ box.

 On the other hand,I have that space behind the front seats that will hold what I used to put in the box.

  Used to be,I could do most things on my own,and even help others,LOL.
 COPD and other things have reversed that.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
