Here are a few pics from a camping/fishing/4wheeling trip a few weeks ago with some buddies. We caught the Tincup Pass trail in St. Elmo and followed that trail up into the Almont area of Taylor reservoir. Tincup pass is an extremely easy trail for any 4x4 and the top of the pass is very picturesque. Once we set up camp near Almont we just randomly hit more challenging trails and off shoots from there.

 

My buddy from MI took a real nice video of the good trail stuff but we are still trying to figure out how to burn it to a DVD....and edit out the colorful language.

 

Here are a few.

 

Tincup Pass 12,154 ft elevation. Top of the Continental Divide.

A buddy from Michigan that caught the only fish of the day. Still think he bought it at the general store and snuck it onto his fishing pole w/o us noticing. Seems odd he was the only one to catch a fish that day.

Me making hobo potato pies and getting ready to cook up Mark’s fish (that we are sure he bought and snuck in under his Detroit bank robber hat)

Whoops….forgot one funny picture.

 

Some poor sole had his el cheapo JC Whitney ATV receiver mount cooler caddy break off on one of the trails and apparently ditched it on the side of the trail where I happen to spot it. Anyway, when you flip it upside down, it makes for a nice campfire fish and hobo potato pie grilling machine. Now that I have it back home I am going to buzz saw off the receiver mount that is totally in the way for cooking and add a brace underneath to support the mesh for future grilling. Nice trail score. :cool:

Yep, that is a stock Silverado in the back ground. My neighbor rode in on the nice dirt pack road from Buena Vista into Almont to meet with us at the camping spot. He has a 2003 Silvy Z71 with a Palomino Bronco popup camper.

That looks an awful lot like my daily commute, even the cows wandering down the middle of the road (I bet there's very few of you who can honestly say that you were late to work because you got stuck in the middle of a cattle drive :cool: ) I don't have time to stop and fish on the way to work though :banghead:

 

Nice pictures though, it looks like a lot of fun!

Here are a more relaxing Colorado shots from my garage yesterday morning (9-23-06). I surely didn’t have this kind of view when I lived in Detroit. :driving:

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
