Hey all! I’m new to the forums and I’m looking forward to gaining some knowledge as well as sharing my truck with you all as time goes by. I was 15 when I got my first Silverado. A 2006 RCSB W/T. Silver Birch Metallic, had no power windows, seats, cruise control or even a powerful engine! 4.3 V6 and she was a DOG. Still, it was all mine and I kept it as clean as I could and took good care of it until some idiot ran a red light and t boned me.

Since then, I’ve made an upgrade into the truck of my dreams. I’ve always been a big fan of the 2016-18 Silverados! I sought out to find an RCSB truck and although it took a while, I recently found the perfect truck. 2016 RCSB Silverado. Tungsten Metallic, 5.3, 2 WD LT package! Super low miles sitting at 35k and it was well taken care of.

I would love to drop it a little bit (don’t want it slammed) and put some clean 20” wheels on it. It already has a great sounding exhaust and I currently can’t think of any other mods I want to do to it . It’s such a clean cool and perfect truck!

an interior shot, only thing I’ve done is added a Maxliner Smartliner full width rubber floor mat to protect the carpet floor 🙌🏽

 

Mainly in life, I’m into Lowriders and Kustom cars! I’m especially a big fan of the ‘70s style Lowriders. I’ve been fixing up an oddball since I was 18 in early 2020. It’s a 1968 Chrysler New Yorker. 7.2L (440 ci) engine, 3 speed Torqueflite 727 trans, 8 3/4 rear with 2.76 highway cruiser gears. I may swap it out for a 3.23 suregrip rear, but I ain’t trying to race with the old lady:) The car is 1 of 8,056 produced in 1968. This was Chrysler’s top of the line model, only under the Imperial (but that was its own separate brand.) Mine comes pretty well equipped with features such as power windows, power seats, AC/Heat/Defrost, Cruise Control, Power Assist Brakes and more stuff I can’t remember off the top of my head! It hasn’t ran since 1980. Recently I had the 440 and 727 rebuilt and I can’t wait to be mobbing down the streets with it! It’s going to be one sick 70s style cruiser.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
