Who has a plow?

Just got the plow all set up on the new beast!

 

I was surprised at how very little they had to cut into the air dam on the front. Front end design is much more plow friendly when compared to previous generations. I also can't even see the plow lights over the hood because the truck is so tall.

 

Bring on the snow!

Looks great, wished I lived in snow country so I could have a plow like that unit.  Well, I could anyways, but not a lot of snow in Phoenix. ?

Nice unit man. Those stainless plows are nice and light. I have stainless 8' Fisher XT V-plow on a 2015 Silverado with a Truck-Craft aluminum dump bed/sander. Just ordered a Caterpillar 950M with a 12-18' 6-way AMI plow with the new "fluid edge" which should be ready for pick-up tomorrow or early next week. And I have a 2015 John Deere 644K with a 12-18' AMI plow and snow tires also. I have over 20 contracts for this year for plowing and sanding. If anyone needs and help or questions with snow removal work I would be happy to help you out.

I am looking to mount my plow up this weekend.  I couldn't find the emergency/beacon switch. it says the wiring is in the roof. My 2018 had it in the roof cluster.  the truck is equip with the snow plow prep package. I really didn't want to put a surface mount switch for the plow lights.  Did you have any luck finding it?

Do you have any pictures of the truck without the plow on it? I would love to see how the brackets and plug connection location looks on the 2020. I run a Boss plow on my older GM and plan on ordering a 2020 3500HD in the upcoming weeks. I wonder how much trimming if any is needed. Thanks

Saw that
Was looking for some people's thoughts on cutting and leaving the piece on or removing it completely

I saw this on my IG feed today. Not my truck, I visit the snow often but don’t live in it. No plow for me.

I took the middle piece on the bottom completely off. Easier, doesn't expose anything vital really & no fears of losing functionality. The mount looks way close to the ground but was only about 1/2" low per Boss specs. I'm running a 9'2" v-plow

Does your truck have the aux upfitter switches to left if steering wheel?  If not you can use this bulletin to tap into the existing wiring that is in roof. Depending if you have a spoiler or not, May involve some drilling....

Does the Alaskan edition come with a Boss mount already installed? There was a TFL video on it the other day. Would probably be an easier route to take if you are ordering a truck.

Alaskan does not come with plow mount.  Chevrolet teamed up with boss for that media event.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Looks nice. I still have my 2000, 1500. Bought a 2025, 1500 for retirement. Feels solid. These trucks have a bad rap on the internet. My brother has a `24 1500, 5.3 with 52,000 miles. No problems at all. Mine hasn`t either but mine`s only at 12,700 miles. Have seen some of these things with 100,000 miles with no problems.

      Howdy! New to the forum of course! My name is Casey, just picked up a 2024 high country midnight edition. First “new” truck in 24 years for me. Driving a 1998 Z71 since 2002. Have been on the GMT400 forum with lots of good info and help there. Nervous about driving these newer trucks and all their electronics…. Did a lot of work on the Z71 myself over the years. New truck is definitely a nice upgrade after 24 years. Photo of the old and new, still keeping the Z71 - has 320,000 miles on her and still running well!
