Finally was able to get some new wheels and tires. 

 

I need to do something with the side steps.  I like them, but I have to figure out how to repaint them or get them powder coated.  They are 3.5 years old and getting some rust spots.

 

Also need to do paint correction, clay bar, compound/polish and ceramic coat.  She will really shine then.  Not even waxed in these pics.

Kinda like the exhaust tips.

Just picked this up last week. Sold my 2020 AT4.

My beloved 2021 LTZ 6.2 experienced the dreaded lifter failure and had to be replaced.  Although I paid sticker, the dealer gave me a great offer on my trade and is even going 700 miles to get it back to the dealership.  I've been wanting a High Country for a long time and am giving the 3.0 Duramax a try - I've read many good reviews.

Ok, I did a 2" Rough Country spacer lift in front, and a Supreme Suspensions 1.5" Block lift in the back. Got my Husky mud flaps mounted, installed a K&N intake that preserves the factory airbox, installed a Flowmaster Super 40, installed Fox 2.0 Performance series shocks in the rear, got an oil change, wheel alignment, cabin air filter, and installed Fog lights. Wheel well liners, body color mirror caps, red tow hooks, tires, new speakers, a camper cap and a Bed Rug are coming next. What 17" A/T tires should I get now? Assuming lots of highway miles to get to some National Parks, and light backroads when I'm there. 265/275/285?

So here’s my new to me 2023 Sierra SLT in the works right now getting fixed (frame swapped basically everything swapped 😂) but it’s a clean title only has 2063 mile on it, gotta 7” fts lift already on the donor frame ready to go!!! Will swap the lift later so if can fit my 38s on it 👎🏽 still have my 2014 Silverado debating on selling it right now. 

 

This was just purchased from the auction so it will be ready to roll here in a few months or so. With the Denali frontend not SLT frontend cjt_217282558863725.jpeg.f69e482ebb39ae3b653dc88639dec5e2.jpeg

It was time to trade in my 2019 HC and updated to a 23 Denali reserve.

I love that color, Miss it so much from my 2019 HC, I wish they offered the Ultimate in that color, they missed the boat on that in my opinion. Congrats!

I agree!  That's the only reason that I didn't get the ultimate.

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
