How Did Your Truck Get It's Name?

A lot of people name their vehicles...some by chance...others on purpose.

When I got my Pepperdust LTZ last March the first thing we did was a road trip. During the trip I

kept saying "Man, this is a heck of a truck! A heck of a truck!". That is when I knew my trucks name!

Remember when Katrina hit and "W" kept telling the head of FEMA..."Heck of a job Brownie! Your

doing a heck of a job!".

Yep...named my truck "Brownie".

What about you?

Never thought about it.   Might now.   Sho nuff not going to have any reference to Katrina. Which I told my wife that we could stay home with my two little girls because “We’ve been through hurricanes before!”

 

Um no.   We lived on the coast.  

 

So so maybe something related to mountains.  Or baseball.

Mines the "Screamin' Demon," cause my 4.3 sounds kind of like an old Detroit, particularly when I'm pulling/hauling heavy. She gets that nice raspy growl up around 4k (:

Mine is simply called, "the truck".   When going out we tell our dog whether we are going in the truck or the car.  She clearly knows the difference and will react accordingly.

My wife and I refer to our '15 Denali as "The POS". As in "I am taking The POS to Home Depot". In less than two years:

-Transmission replacement

-Multiple software updates to make the transmission behave (including me having to pay ~$400 out of pocket because GM doesn't consider those part of drivetrain warranty)

-U-joint replacement

-Steering column replacement

-Driver's side mirror assembly replacement

-Leaf spring replacement

-Seat motor replacement

-And currently its back in the dealership with both heads off for new lifters on two of the AFM cylinders and cam

 

I would already be in a F-150, if the wife didn't hate it so much on the test drive. Still figuring on what to get, but this one will be someone else's problem by the end of February.

Rex ( da dog)  knows truck and car as well. So for him it's just truck. For everyone else it's Pepper as in Red Hot Chile.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
