One of my buddies asked me if I want to play golf on Sunday.  I figured what the heck, I haven't played in over two years so I might as well play.  We had a tee time at 2:00pm and by that time the wind was blowing a constant 30mph.  Not exactly good golf weather.  LOL

So I met my friend and his girlfriend at the golf course (no girl for me  :sad: ) and off we went.  I was a pretty busy day so we were being held up my the group in front, and had a very impaitent group behind us.  On about the 6th hole, the two guys behind us decided they would go ahead and hit while we were still within their range.  One ball ended up missing me by about 2' and the other missed my friends head by less then a foot.   :angry: Now we thought this was uncalled for, and waited to have a talk with them at the next tee box.  Only thing is, the guys stayed as far away from us as possible.  It when on like this for about 2 holes and we had a chance to let them play through.  We motioned them to come ahead, but the guys just got back in their cart and quit.  LOL

Wasn't exactly a relaxing day.

My version is relaxing.  I have never played golf on a course on my life, but I take my clubs and a bunch of junk balls out behind my house and just start whacking them.  Boy is it fun to just let loose and watch the ball fly, if the ball splits into two pieces that even adds to it.  Sure, recovery rate is about 50%, but I have never bought a single ball.

Y'all should should have fired a few back!  LOL

 

That crossed our minds, trust me.  LOL  If it hadn't been for the female of the group telling us not too, it probably would have happened.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      GM's are stainless and have a fairly robust powder coating, although, still not worth $850 in my opinion. They will hold up a lot better than their cheaper steel aftermarket counterparts.   What I like about the GM step bars is dealers will often equip their dealer stock with them. Lots of margin. Which means a lot of people end up buying them because they're already on the truck, even if they don't like them. So it's pretty easy to find brand new takeoffs with hardware on Marketplace and Craigslist for about $250.   That's what I did for my crew cab. I wanted ZR2 rock rails for the look, but with the ability to bolt up GM's assist step package. From GM it's about a $2500 accessory all in. The old folks in my life can't get in the truck without steps. I found the whole package on marketplace for $180.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am really glad I found this post and this site... We have a 2022 1500 refresh LTZ that has these problems: - forward collision avoidance warning light - lane keep assist unavailable - adaptive cruise control unavailable   The truck was bought as a new leftover in 2023, so it was still under the 3/36 B to B when it went in for these problems earlier this year. It has been at the dealer on and off now for about 110 days now. These are some of the things they have done that I can read on the service tickets. - replace/add ground straps (4) - check all battery cables and vlts - replace serial data gateway module - replace front view camera - numerous reprogramming - a few calibrations (apparently ending with 'learned') Last week when I had it back the truck had those 3 warnings every time we used it except for 3 times. On three separate occasions the truck started and ran perfectly with no (zero) warning messages or warning lights lit - everything worked perfectly. Over that same time period the truck did not work on every other 'key' cycle which I would estimate at 60+ cycles. On those estimated 57 cycles it had the same 3 problems each and every time.   It is back at the dealer now - can anyone help at all with what the true problem might be?  Or possibly what can be ruled out leaving a lower number of possibilities? Thank you very much for any help you may be able to supply....

      As for the step bars, friend did just that, bought some cheap ones and we are in Michigan and they turned to rust in less than a year.  In 3 yrs he had to replace one of them because they rusted out from the inside even though he kept after them cleaning and polishing etc. Had to drive 300 miles (to Chicago area) to find a reg cab wt, he ordered one and dealer never got it and with winter approaching (plow truck) he needed fo find one ASAP.  Furd dealer found him one but he choose to drive to get a GMC.    Just what you can expect with cheap stuff, LOW quality.

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve seen many times people over buy to start a business. Instead of quality equipment they buy junk and drive an expensive truck. Our first haul truck was a 2 ton wrecker with 6 cylinder to haul our equipment. It would go 60 miles per hour flat out. Our trucks were older trucks we could work on easily. Our equipment was first class that we could work without fear of breaking down. You could always use large trash bags to wrap for water proofing. Put the money where the return is. Comfort and luxury comes with success. Good luck in your venture.

      Thank you, it looks like I have to get a topper or a box van.  Unfortunately, the only vans that can tow what I am looking for are going to be 3/4 ton vans, which may ride rough if I am going to use this on the road extensively.  I may also use it to take marketing clients out on the road.   Not knowing anything about starting a business, my goal is to start small, use things I already have & keep everything in good working order.  I have a small box trailer, need to install lights in it, and same for the topper itself.   How easy does Chevy/GMC make our trucks to upfit if we decide to add things like a topper and lights?  On Fords, the upfit process was rather easy.  Just tie the +12V of the lights to the AUX relay panel and the - to chassis Ground.
