My neighbor's Trail Boss is in the shop, so I offered to make the 2 hour drive up to LA and pickup an ATV he bought. He has a loaner Chevy Colorado, but there was doubt it would be able the ATV. I have the short box and was still able to close the tailgate. 1 more inch and I would've had to keep the tailgate down and strap the ATV down in the bed. It was a good 5 hours where we got to chat and I was able to get to know him better.

First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

Nope. 2 doors down from them. Although, I did also take care of her needs back in December while her husband was out of country. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] He also thanked me for that.

Seriously, though. They were giving their daughter a new bicycle for Christmas, and it came in a box unassembled. I assembled it and held onto it until Christmas Eve night. A late night visit to see a woman never seemed more awkward than parking a bicycle into her garage.

Would have been more awkward if you would have tried to park it in her "trunk"😂🤣😬

 

If things go bad at home, you are making good points with the locals.

She drives a minivan. That's a big trunk to fill. 

 

Ironically, both of the neighbors I've been helping will be moving within the next year.

Funny, think we are now walking the "fine line".

 

Always sucks when a good neighbor moves, they seem to be far and few between.

I did the same. Well, 'cept for the 3.oh version.

 

2 hrs my a$$. Took me longer after digging the bolts out of the bottom of the intercooler area. Trying to wrestle the turbo tube in place, my fat a$$ was all up in there, lying on my side, feet hanging over the left headlight, left ear in the oil filler neck, my shoulder dislodged the the magnetic tray that was stuck good to the upper radiator support, that was securely holding the bolts. Heard that familiar sound of bolts dropping into no mansland and said to myself,  STOP, and get them now. I did find them all, along with my 2" 1/4" drive extension.

 

I also ran the battery wiring harness for the 9L7 switches, after removing the stock turbo tube. I was finally able to see the nipple that needs cut open to run the wire harness into the cab.

 

Also installed a old school filter minder, since instructions said to disable the factory from the dic.

 

I was so done with cussing out the engine'neers that designed the air inlet to the turbo, I didn't even take the time to wipe the dust off the engine beauty cover.

 

All said and done, 4 hrs later and a half a fifth of Jack missing, still no turbo whine.

 

Would I do it again? Yes. Good excuse to drink with my buddy, Jack.

Been raining here quite a bit this past week. Gave her a wash this morning then installed the tailgate letter inserts from BDTrims in matte black. I like how it finishes off the look of the tailgate. Dipped the emblems a few weeks ago.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
