Here is my jet black and jealous ride. I have had 2 black Silvy's, an 02 and this 08 LS. Both were reg cab long box LS's and the 02 had 4.8L and this one I didn't mess around, 5.3L with AFM and FF. Love this truck, absolutely awesome, (except for the transfer case being shot from the factory, thats a WHOLE nother story), but yah, its everything I need and want. Only pics I could find of my 08 at the moment, in the box is my 69 John Deere 112 fully restored. In case anyone is into vintage garden tractors.

 

Cool! I've got a '97 LT 155 that I bought brand new...runs as good as the day I brought it home...

2nd black gm truck here, i love it.

 

they look so bad ass when clean.

 

+1 to post above... actual they get dirty as any other color, black lets you know you need to clean it, white just hides your lazy ass.

That or he was on a roid rage in the tag office.

 

I'm on my first black truck. Had a maroon and a gold previous. Told the wife, "I'm getting a black truck," and she said, "only truck I can see you driving." Gotta love her.

 

And for anyone who tells me my truck needs to be washed when I'm out, my standard response is, "shut the f*** up." I'm a man, it's a truck. If I'm having fun, it'll always need to be washed.

    • 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.
    • 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.  
    • Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.
    • With this new pan, do you still use the same procedure to check the level? Its a deeper pan and our trucks do not have a fill tube/dipstick. So fill till fluid runs out the check plug?
