How Many All Terrain Owners Do We Have?

I'm on the verge of going with this package on an '09 Extended Cab. My dealer has 4 in stock, including two Crew Cabs but only in Onyx Black and Summit White. I've pretty much decided on a Steel Gray one at another dealer that's 125 miles away.

 

Wasn't real sure at first how I'd like the console layout but after sitting in one for a while it sure felt nice. So far they are offering $7055 of the MSRP but we've yet to really get down to business.

Hey Mark (Snarkee), how's the ride with those BFG tires? What size are they? I've been looking at tires lately since I plan to lift/level mine in the near future just about like you've got yours. I'm going with a Rancho QuickLIFT though...

I've got one too. An '08 SLE2 that looks like Snarkee's. I didn't originally consider it but when I was looking what I was choosing for options, I noticed that it was all in the AT package plus some extras. I like having it because you don't see many of them around. I'll get some pics one day.

Nice trucks guys and V8GMT Guy its been a toss up between the Stealth Gray or Steel Gray.

 

I had that same debate when I bought mine. I could've had a Steel Gray for a little less money but it didn't have the sliding rear window (mine does) and for whatever reason I liked the way Stealth Gray looked on this truck better than I did the Steel Gray. I'm happy with my choice.

 

There are a few pics in this thread of a Steel Gray A/T if you want to compare them side-by-side; that's how I ultimately made my decision:

Holy crap, who told you they rode bad?!?! They ride awesome. I don't have an A/T but I do have the max trailer package and my truck drives smooth as glass. By far the best riding chevy truck I've ever owned.

Yeah, I don't know who told you that but they're WAY off-base. In my personal opinion the A/T rides just as smooth, if not smoother than the regular Z71. They're at the very least every bit as good as the Denali as far as ride quality goes, if not better in some cases because of the 18" wheels (as opposed to 20" on the Denali and some Z71s).

I have a 08 CC All-Terrain Onyx Black and I love the truck. I wish i would have got the two tone leather instead of the cloth but other than that it was a great purchase. As for the ride I'm coming from a lowered sports truck so I think the ride is awesome. I have taken a couple four hour trips and the truck was great.

Those Onyx black ones do look nice. I test drove the dealers black one this afternoon and the ride was outstanding coming from my '96 Ford. The leather seating is extremely comfortable.

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By glenn27 · Posted

      // Thank you, also for your  response. More information is always good. This 2013 GMC is most likely my 'forever truck"-I'm 77 and retired...and truck only has 42K on it-very clean-so I try to keep it that way.  Tks again for your  response- glenn

      Alternate wiring for Kicker sub with Bose system. (DO THIS)

      By smooth68 · Posted

      I started my install this weekend. Everything was pretty straight forward but I ran into one issue with running power through the firewall. The nipple grommet on my High Country already has a small harness running through it - has anyone else ran into this issue? And on the engine bay side, does the wire basically just penetrate the factory wiring boot? I did this on my '22 Trail Boss and it seems much easier but thats been a few years. My other thought would be possibly drilling a new hole adding a rubber grommet just to the lower left of the factory hole. Thoughts?   Has anyone used a T-harness off the Bose amp and obtained power from there? It seems a little odd that such a small amp needs 3 power leads

      By glenn27 · Posted

      ///// Ok--Thanks for that info--I could not find yesterday when I looked for the specs on that NAPA filter what I wanted. Their website is not very user friendly. I buy all teh filters for  our three vehicles once or twice a year. Have always run NAPA Gold on everything I own....I buy it thru my Son's account for his business-which he has a Heavy Equipment repair shop-one reason he uses NAPA so much-they have such a full line of coverage for just about anything/anywhere- He gets s  good discount because of volume bought. Anyway-Thank you -Sir for your response.   glenn
