I forget what trim level you have.  Are those the power mirrors?  If so, set them to fold automatically on lock in the infotainment system.  That's super handy.

LT with power folding mirrors. Completely forgot that was an option. Thanks for the reminder!

I second that "great advice" and will be checking that option in my 2023 LTZ first thing tomorrow morning. 

Good thing he was right there when it happened as most people today would just pull away an take the chance on nobody seeing it.

Thanks for the tips!

The guy that hit me admitted he would have just driven off. Didn't think it was "that bad."

Quick update: I called my stealership parts department this morning. Had them send me the invoice with part # and price. $809.98 for the whole mirror. Online gm parts stores are $480ish. 

 

I called the guy to let him know. No answer. 15 minutes later he called back and we chatted. Told him the cost of the mirror and he couldn't believe it. So, I sent him the invoice and part # and told him so long as it's oem and the same part number, I don't care where you get it! He said great and asked if he could get this figured out the first of the year after Christmas. I said absolutely and Merry Christmas brother. 🎅 

 

🤞 he ponies up!

My trucks seats are no ordinary fabric. They are tufted from king kongs chest hair. Very manly vehicle. Only the PE model has this. 
also with rubber floors, no issues with proper dirty work boots. Carpeted floors are great to coddle high heels lmao

My truck is a Z-66. That’s like a couple of Z-28s with some to spare. So it’s twice as fast. It’s old and aged like fine wine, just like its driver. 🤠

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
