Hi all, just registered. Great looking site, glad I was told about it.

I just purchased an 09 GMC Sierra SLT 4x4 in Carbon Black Metallic, loving the truck so far but I only have 500 or so miles on it.

Looking forward to posting up some questions and checking out this site further.....Irv

Welcome!

 

Any plans on your truck yet?

Thanks, not many plans so far other than getting the windows tinted but I do want to do a few things to make it more unique and personal.

I am thinking a grill insert, maybe those chrome side panels that go below the body side molding, chrome wheel well trim?? chrome door handles?? although I do like the monochrome look too?

I guess it is too early and I haven't had the chance to really check out what is all out there yet. I would really like to see some other custom/accessory added 07 to 09's first to see what I like then take it from there.

Any idea where to see some already dressed out? Thanks.........Irv

I'm pretty much in the same position as you, little stuff first.

 

I would personally go PTM with a little chrome here and there, but I will say that a carbon truck with the chrome handles looks sharp!

 

Check out the gallery, someone may have something similar to what your looking to do.

 

Beautiful truck BTW, I love the SLT/LTZ

Greetings to a fellow Canuck, and a very nice ECSB you have.

Thanks, glad to be on board, where about's are you from?

I tried to get an Oshawa built truck, help support some local friends, but none were available. My current one came from Fort Wayne and all is great just the same.

 

I just sold my 97 Sierra Z-71 to my Nephew, it only had 160,000 km's and was

absolutely mint, I still question why I bought a new one but at the same time I got my current one out the door for only $2000 more than what I paid for my SLE back in 97!

Thanks, I'm glad to hear the chrome handles look good with the CBM paint, I have seen lots with the Onyx Black and it looks pretty sharp, those and the gas cap.

Off to the gallery, thanks for the heads up :D

I'm from Windsor. Tomorrow I'll be picking up my 09 Silverado ECSB. The opportunity presented itself with all the discounts GM and the dealer were offering me to get me out of my 03 GMC SLT & into a 09 Silverado. So I made the deal, and the rest will be history tomorrow. Like you at times I question the decision to by a new one, but with all the incentives on the table - the new one is only a 1000 more than what I paid for my old one.

 

I had a chance earlier last week to get an Oshawa built Silverado ECSB, but what that particular dealer offered didn't appeal to me. So I'll endup with an American Built Silverado instead. Sigh, that's the breaks.

 

That 97 you used to have is nice.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
