I unplugged the battery before swapping the front impact sensors. The codes related to those front impact sensors have not returned however the two codes related to deployment have not gone away with the battery being unplugged and the tech 2 is not clearing those. Nor is it turning off the...
Yeah scary for sure. Thankfully this one isn’t going to affect my mountains but we had our turn all of September when both the big bear AND wrightwood mountains were on fire with the line and bridge fires. Over 100,000 acres burned between those too fires alone. That really sucked.
Got airbag codes from the tech 2 last week and some were related to the front impact sensor. 04 esky ESV rolled into the riverside yard and I figured I’d hit the yard and grab its impact sensors. They were gone. Dang it. But lucked out and another 04 shorty esky had sensors intact. Grabbed em...
oh boy….. it’s been a weird couple weeks. Weather has been weirdly warm and sunny for quite some time. Drove to pick n pull in riverside last Thursday. 55 in the morning leaving and 87 going through riverside all day. Had the sunroof open all day cruising around. lol. More on that bit later...
Like the new light setup! I’m a fan of the wrap about tube style LEDs and projectors on this truck. But yeah LEFs can for sure be tricky if the projector isn’t designed for it.
For what it’s worth I run Morimoto LEDs along with their bi-xenon projector setups retrofitted. I spent a good chunk...
Nice work!! Always good to hear another happy owner enjoying an older GM FULL size lol.
These things are awesome people hauler shuttles. Couldn’t agree more! My 2006 XL has been a hood people hauler as well within the past couple years lol.
The trans tune portion is awesome especially when getting on a highway cuz you can pull hard to get up to speed, especially if you’re stuck behind the one yoyo thats going up the onramp at snails pace if you get an opening and get around them. Haha. :Big Laugh:
I was up in Mammoth the last two days of February this year for some training for my winter job, with a trek east to just north of Salt Lake City planned for when I headed out from mammoth. I left on that Wednesday afternoon about mid day when I finished up training and barely 24 hours later...
This is not the best solution if you’re not running a projector lens housing. HID bulbs are designed to scatter light properly with the right cutoffs in a projector lens. So when they’re in a standard reflector lens they’re not going to function right.
I run Morimoto HIDs and have had good...
Yes it is state law to have to CARRY them IN the vehicle when traveling on the mountain highways that lead in and out of those areas. And TECHNICALLY…. They could issue a ticket if they ask to see them and you don’t have them. I’ve never experienced that though. I try to avoid going up or down...
Just a thought…. Even though @KMeloney said no engine replacement in his truck, not a bad idea to check the transmission cross member bolts.
I say this as when I did my last oil change on my 2006 XL a few months back, the filter fought me coming out, and going in as it always does. I was so...
Welcome from another socal member and one who drives in snow all winter long. I live up in big bear lake but travel often to mammoth lakes for on the job training as I’m a professionally certified snowboard instructor.
You didn’t specify if your 2025 ultimate is 2WD or 4WD. That will of course...
Not fully seated engine oil fill tube and the gasket sticking out a bit. Shop said it should make a quarter turn and then come free to replace the gasket under the tube. At the moment it only twists not even 1/8 turn in either direction. So not sure what getting it apart will entail but that’s...
Got the heater core hose reconnected as it should be snug and proper. But…
I didn’t grab a second T connector for the other line this afternoon. I was somewhat out of patience in that moment and said “screw it the second line isn’t an issue at the moment so I’m leaving it alone” I know I know…...
Before I get to the next bit I noticed last night while I was underneath pulling the drain bolt to change my oil, there was a TON of crusty but still greasy oil slung all over the bottom of the oil pan, the bottom of the front diff, and a bit on the trans bell housing. Like ALOT….. it had been...
I was way to trigger happy on firing the parts cannon, thinking I knew exactly what I needed…. and completely missed the target…. :nono: I thought I’d learned this lesson already but apparently not.
So I rode my new electric mountain bike that is my Christmas present from my mom(early because...
