I know this is spec related to our trucks, but what the hey.

I have these old set of steal car /truck ramps that have worked great for everything I have needed them to. I dont want to get rid of them, but I run into them in the garage all the time! Does anyone have a good spot for some ramps when they are not using them?

 

Much appreciated!

My solution to just about anything under 50 pounds or so that I don't use very often...Is to hang that crap up on the ceiling. Things like ladders, ramps, 100' long power cords, etc. Hell, I've come pretty close to putting my air compressor up in a corner and building an isulated box around it so I don't have to hear it. Then I figured it would be easier to just stick it in the attic. Then I got lazy, and left it under the workbench :confused:

I agree with Wingnut (can't believe I just said that)...if they aren't that heavy they I would hang them up. I have built all sorts or racks on my garage ceiling to hold crap.

I hang mine up on the wall too. Both sets. I just put a deck screw through the drywall into a stud (very important)! Then hung them through a hole in the base of the ramp. I have a set I use for the Suburban and Tahoe and a set for my lowered cars.

If you live in the South, you could put them under the front porch

:cool:

 

 

 

 

Or in the living room next to the engine on the engine stand thats being rebuilt.

 

 

 

 

 

Throw a couple saw horses under them and some plywood on top and presto...brand new dining room table...that's not right "Lord I apologize" :P

Stop it, you're making me misty.

:cry: Engine rebuilds take place on the kitchen island, and tranny rebuilds go in the tub.

 

If ramps must be used as an integral part of urban decor, it's almost a given that they either get used as end tables or supports for a glass cocktail table.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
