I was out today driving my truck just for fun and it was an awesome day in the 70's I saw a lot of bikers out and followed some. When the passed other bikers coming from the other direction they automatically knew to wave to each other :thumbs: It didnt matter whether they were riding Harley's or crotch rockets they all wave at each other...

 

I have a whip antenna for my cb because of the hunting club that I am in and it seems that all the other guys with whip antennas in Chevys seem to wave at me as we cross paths...

 

I just thought that we should all start waving at each other because we share a couple common bonds. We are men, we love our trucks, no matter how high gas prices we will always have our trucks, and we all own trucks from those I am seen on this site from GM...

 

So when you are driving down the road and your Chevy or GMC truck is coming in your direction give them a friendly wave :fume: , like saying whats up Dude, yeah we like trucks!!! haha yeah

 

Let me know if you think that this would be cool, like a united front in America....

I just wave to everyone, even if I dont know them. I guess its just common courtesy here.

 

 

Yeah I have family in Craig, NE and the last time that I was out there everyone was like that! I wish that everyone was like that here! I mean if you are driving though a neighborhood here and you see people working in their yards they usually wave, but other than that not really!

LOL! :thumbs:

 

We are a pretty friendly group in Cibolo. It has become an upscale bedroom community outside of San Antonio proper. Nice folks out here.

I'm to busy making sure some idiot isn't going to run,walk,pull or back out in front of me to wave at somebody on the other side. I'm always accused of not noticing someone when we pass each other on the road. I shouldn't be like this, but a kid ran out from behind a parked van, and I didn't see him in time. I would guess he went air born for 25ft. Scared me to death. I didn't drive for a couple of month's after that. No feeling in the world like that.

He was cut up pretty bad from the road rash, but nothing was broken. It sure did a number on me though.

Very cool. Maybe its unspoken or something but around here I tend to get waves from other GMT-400 RCSB guys with the stepsides. There are way fewer of them than you'd think. Er..at least way fewer nice ones..

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By newdude · Posted

      I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By LCH14 · Posted

      Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.
