My name is Jake. Last year I bought a 2019 Silverado 1500 LD and have added a few things like a 3.5" suspension lift, 17" inch Rockstar wheels and 33" Toyo tires, Borla ATAK exhaust, leather seats, and a Memphis Audio stereo upgrade. I think next on the list will be swapping the chrome no fog lights bumper to color match with fog lights. Lots of my Google searches bring me here, so I figured I'd sign up. 

 

Quick about me I'm from Southern Illinois and I'm a truck driver. Growing up my dad would buy a new Silverado every few years and worked on old cars, all GM. I also have a 1963 Chevy Nova SS and my daily driver is a 1997 Buick Lesabre. My main hobby is powerlifting and I've been competing in that about five years or so. Anyway, thanks for reading.

Welcome to the site, and congratulations on your new truck!

 

Post some pictures of the truck and the Nova (most like old muscle cars here too).

Here's the truck. Hope I'm doing this right with the pics. It's saying I'm maxed on file size, so guess I'll have to make another post for the Nova pics.

Here's the 63 Nova. Gonna have to reduce my picture sizes, most on my phone seem larger than the 4.88MB max it's giving me unless I'm doing something wrong. 

 

Also thanks for the welcome, @slj2008 and @JimCost2014

Looks good, nice stance.

 

Be patient, the site is sometimes not the most user friendly place to navigate.

You are very welcome.

 

Cool car!!! Looks like it has a lot of engine under the huge cowl hood.

Thanks. It's a former drag car and used to have a lot of engine in it, but it's just a 327 now. I've got a lot of plans for it as well someday, just been spending a lot on the truck lately.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
