What Took Me So Long?

I realize I'm not telling you guys anything you don't already know, but this truck ('21 GMC Sierra 3500 Diesel) is amazing!  I have never owned a GM/GMC truck until this one.  I have been either a Ford - Super Duty or Ram - Heavy Duty owner since my first truck many moons ago.  After buying my beautiful wife a '21 GMC Yukon Denali, I thought I would sell my Ram and try out a GM/GMC truck.  Fast forward to this weekend - I hooked my my 5th-wheel to see how it would pull on the road.  I was very pleasantly pleased with the uninterrupted power of the engine in "tow mode" and the ease of accelerating with the 38' 5th-wheel attached.  An additional nice surprise was that the truck didn't "squat" at all with the RV attached.  In ALL of my other trucks I had to install air bags or additional overload leaf-springs to keep the rear up.  

 

All-in-all...very happy with the truck!

 

That is all.

I took my 32.5' 5th wheel for a ride this weekend with my 3500 AT4 HD and was pleasantly surprised. I no longer have any chunking, I was able to lower my Anderson hitch ball one hole and loved the fact that when I turn on a signal to make a turn I get a camera view of the whole side so I can see if I am going to cut a corner too sharp. The ride is smooth and although I did not do any great elevation climbs the power feels adequate for my gasser.  Nice improvement over my '16 2500HD.

      2007 Silverado classic Cooling fan running

      By Mistycool · Posted

      I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?

      Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL

      Auto start stop disable

      Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Atlas · Posted

      Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
