Haven't seen a topic on this one yet, so I thought I'd ask. What did you get for your truck or yourself for X-mas? I got new cab marker lights, Bushwacker Pocket-style fender flares, and stainless steel lower body protectors. My tires without flares did a number on the lower part of the body, chips all over. At least now they are covered up. One thing I will say, can't believe how much mud and crud was built up under the moldings when I had to trim some away to get the flares to fit. Those moldings are coming off as soon as I get my next truck home. Chris

Got some pretty cool tools from my wife: DeWalt 18v 1/2" electric impact gun, some tool bags, lazer level and measurer, digital tire pressure guage, and a cool t-shirt that says "A man and his truck...it's a beautiful thing" (she got me the same shirt with "tools" replacing "truck" also). She picked it all out herself too!...except the DeWalt...I gave her the part # for that one :crackup:

 

Mom hooked me up with a G-Tech performance meter...(I kinda hinted to her that I wanted it...provided a link and everything) Guess I was a good boy this year :crackup: !!

We got some Lowe's gift cards and a little money from family members, so we went and got several items for the house. One was a new ceiling fan for our bedroom.

Wife got me a Milwaukee 18v 1/2" drive impact wrench. It has a plastic storage box, charger and 2 batteries! Nice! No more dragging out the compressor, air hose and air wrench for me! Heck it takes me longer to pull that out than it does to actaully rotate the tires!

 

Going to rotate the tires on the car this weekend and try it out! Gotta love it when the wife gets you tools...especially power tools!! :devil:

I got me a '04 Silverado 1500 CrewCab Z71 .... pretty much maxed out on options ...

 

First new vehicle in 15 years ..... been eyeing a new truck for about the last 14 :devil:

 

Had to finally retire a '78 Chevy C10 ..... still ran fine, until Hurrican Ivan deposited a tree across the cab.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
