My old Trailblazer was totaled on a slippery day a month or so ago. Lady slid through an intersection I was in. Wasn’t my fault.  Anyway, got a rcsb 02 Silverado step side.  2wd, 4.8, 3.42 gears, limited slip,218,000 miles.  Truck is great shape inside and out.  Has newer GMC wheels with too big of tires. I was looking for a kinda beater vehicle, but this is kinda too nice.  Already has an exhaust.  Will probably get or make an intake, electric fans…. Probably will remove the cap.

Some new headlight housings and it will look better too, plus they are super cheap online.

 

But man that would be the perfect turbo or supercharger truck build.

Agree about the headlights, and agree about the potential of a really fun truck, relatively easy.

Also truck has been lowered.  Pic was in old owners driveway.  Truck was full of salt after ride home, so I’ll get some better pics.  Was never a huge fan of stepsides, but after seeing sooo many rusted out std bed truck it was brought to my attention that stepside beds are fiberglass…no rust.  The lack of rust is what I first noticed about this old truck.

They do rust where the fiberglass attaches to the metal but it's not as obvious as fleetside rust

Very Nice! Nice garage as well!

Thanks about the truck. As far as the garage goes, that’s the service where I work.  I wish I had a garage like that.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.
