    Door Grab handle repair

    Holding up as good as when I repaired it 3 years ago this week! I didn’t mess with wedging steel pieces into place. Anyone who’s worked with JB knows it’s rock hard when it drys. The hi temp black silicone sealed the repair tight And you can’t even tell the repair was done.

    Lost my beloved 2001 to Hurrican Ian

    Sorry to hear. Do you receive Hemings motor news daily emails? There are cherry early GM 2000’s trucks listed from time to time that could make your day. There were 20 pages of trucks listed today so here’s just the first extremely cherry example of a 1996 GM Suburban…almost perfect...

    I’m sorry...the new Tahoe is nice, but this is a real Truck!

    ENGINEERING TIMELINE GM NORTH AMERICAN ENGINEERING Car Truck Engineer "Convergence" where the GM Truck Engineers in 2005 were decimated as a group, moved to warren and got TRUCKED by Car Engineers. (I lived through it so I know LOL) #1 Girlie MOTHER - Designed by GM "Car Engineers"...

    I’m sorry...the new Tahoe is nice, but this is a real Truck!

    The Avalanche is a suburban with its roof cut off and a "C ring" installed with some plastic covers along with "B" cups and "C" cups (which is pretty darn girlie in itself!) The Suburban will not fit in our garage. The Tahoe will. We have to drive the Lake Erie corridor of Route 90 during the...

    I’m sorry...the new Tahoe is nice, but this is a real Truck!

    When I started this thread I never meant to have the conversation degrade into Masculine vs Feminine, Just "Truck" Vs "Girlie Truck" Perhaps a sample of part of my Junker Fleet can help calibrate the forum on what I meant in comparison: Come to think of it when I look at it again the Z71 is...

    It looks good. IMO as a insider at the time the GM truck engineering team was eliminated in the 2005 “convergence”. Can’t help but feel that the “Truckness” took a back seat after the Car group took over. This groups idea of a beautiful car as below was carried over into the future...

    I’m sorry...the new Tahoe is nice, but this is a real Truck!

    1st never said or even insinuated anything about Production vehicles. 2nd truck was not between 8 and 9 mile roads and Woodward , it was up in Bloomfield which as I’m sure you know is quite a measurable distance from ugh...8 Mile. How many breakdowns that truck have 3rd I have driven at least...

    I’m sorry...the new Tahoe is nice, but this is a real Truck!

    Perhaps, but the fact that there were two GM trucks with flashing lights (either of which could have brought fuel) blocking the truck into the turnaround suggests that it was more involved than adding a couple of gallons to get it back to the Warren Tech Center, they were waiting for a tow...

    I’m sorry...the new Tahoe is nice, but this is a real Truck!

    I agree with you in principle. I started to work for GM in 92. I left in 07. My final launch was on the GMT 900. The best trucks were prior to 94. The hydro-formed frames started with the GMT 800 in 94 - 06. GM merged its car and truck engineering divisions in 2005. The GMT 900 was the...
