I recently put the Street Scene black chrome speed grille and valance grille on my blacked out 08 sierra. They look good and were easy to install. Not totally excited about the way the lower grill mounts, but it seems to hold good so far. I also tried powder coating the front and back chrome sections of the bumper in black chrome, but it didnt come out as well as i would have liked. Miostly likey just gonna paint them a gloss black, atleast i have a good painting surface now, lol. Anyways, i havent took any pics yet, but will work on getting some.

 

Wondering if anyone has purchased this or similar for their Sierra/Yukon? All my vehicles have a black on black theme, but his seems to cheap.. and may just fall apart in a year or so.

 

Also any pics would be great.. my google searches turn up nothin

I installed the speed grille on my truck, I find the black chrome not a true black. Looks blue to me. So I took the plain grille and painted it a satin finish with 3 coats of clear, this is how it came out

I have the street scene black chrome speed grille on my Silverado and I'm happy with it. I was a little worried about the clips that hold it on when I installed it but they've been good for about 6 months so I'm sure they are fine. I like the look of it on a black truck.

I have this 03' Silverado, and I'm considering a few different grilles. I run an auto/tire/customs shop out here in Vegas called Tire Works (www.TireworksTCC.com), so I see Grilles and what not all day long, but have never seen a black chrome grill before. Now, just judging by having seen black chrome wheels, I think that on this particular truck it would look tough with the color combination. But, like I said, I have never seen one. There's a few options that I'm looking into between Carriage Works, Street Kings and Grille Craft, but can't seem to get a sample picture of their black chrome products.

 

If any of you guys have any pictures, that would be great so I can get a good idea of what I'm working with. If not, that's fine. Your thoughts and opinions would be greatly appreciated though!

 

I'm a new member here, and am excited to get any type of feedback from you guys regarding choosing a grille. With the Roll pan powder coated to color match the truck, I have only to get the chrome lining on the vehicle powdered, the chrome strip going through the middle of the grille coated, and the front bummper coated. With those things handled, the only thing left is the right grille, so any feedback I can get from you guys would be outstanding! I really appreciate it.

      Exhaust Question

      By C. Hart · Posted

      I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
