I just did my last tour Saturday after 25 years in law enforcement in NJ. I m settled in upstate NY and now have the time to search for a muscle car at the right price. Either that or supercharge the Silverado. :wtf: PS and no I m not that old, still way under 50.

Congrats! I say supercharge the Silvy.

 

Where abouts were you in Jersey?

 

I dont know man, I think a nice 69' or 70' chevelle would be pretty sweet, not cheap by any means but it would be a blast.

I lived in upstate NY for about 5 years, and really miss it. Beautiful country. And congrats on retiring, indeed!

 

As for what to do: I'd have to get a '68 Camaro, if it were me.

Or Nova. Or better yet, buy a "new" classic. Wait for the new Z/28's to come out!

Get a Mercedes 450SEL6.9. It's got a hydro pneumatic suspension system that rides nicer than any new Benz, a race car style dry sump oil system, and a hand built 6.9 liter V8. They can be bought fairly cheaply, although repairs can be a bit expensive.

 

Mine will glue me to the seat until well past 100mph. It's the ultimate sleeper.

That Benz seems pretty sweet.

 

I think if I were going to buy muscle in the next year or two, I'd be saving my pennies for the next CTS-V. It's supposed to be a real beast.

      LCA bolts

      By newdude · Posted

      The LCA bolts are NOT a one time use fastener.  GM does not have them called out as such at all.   They are torque plus degree, but not a one time use TTY.  Nowhere in the service manual does it call out for replacing the LCA bolts for being one time use.  Think about it.  The LCA bolts are now the alignment adjustment point, instead of the UCA bolts like the prior generation.    A bolt that is meant to be adjusted for alignment...would it make sense to make it a one time use component?  How would you get an alignment done in the first place?  You couldn't.       Also.  What TSB exactly?  There is no TSB that I see for 2019-2026 for over-torquing LCA bolts.  There was a PI, PIT5533C, but that covered 2014-2018 body trucks for re-torquing LCA mounting bolts.  But those trucks to a 2019-2026?  Not the same, so PIT5533C does not apply.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      Nice looking setup!  Is this the kit you got?  If so 211 is a great deal!  https://accessories.chevrolet.com/product/trailering-camera-system-86584184   My TT came with a wireless rear camera but it only works on an app or a separate screen they sell so I've decide it's not worth the hassle since it keeps disconnecting and with wireless android auto it's a hassle trying to connect my phone to it.  So I've been thinking about adding the GM camera so it's integrated into the rest of the camera views.   I also found this one which seems to be a different PN & retail price that explicitly states the invisible trailer view https://www.shopchevyparts.com/chevrolet/2024/silverado-2500-hd/electronics/85825715-silverado-2500-trailer-camera-transparent-view-requires-trg-camera-provisions-p-92326971.html?sort=2a

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      By rav3 · Posted

      You didn't say what year it is. I have a '17 5.3 6l80e & used the Range AFM delete for a while to stay in V8 mode. Then I got a local tuner to preform a HPTune on my 6l80e & love it. He did a AFM delete, torque matching between engine & transmission, removed converter slip and mild engine tune that helps the transmission. Gears shift better, at specific speeds, no hunting for gear, no 2 gear down shifts, no spark plug miss feel. Drives like a different truck. I highly recommend it.

      2018 Slverado LTZ failing driver's side engine mount

      By mysery1 · Posted

      I know this old thread but I just replaced the left side engine mount on my 2018 5.3 2wd and it was a pain. A quick search showed that it was probably going to cost around $600 to $900 to get it replaced. I researched how to replace it and decided to do it myself being that I'm retired and have the time and tools. What should have taken a day took me 4 days plus a couple trips to my chiropractor and some blood. Why a mount failed at 150k miles is beyond me but such is life.   Peace
