Usually what happens to these clusters in this generation is the backlighting that’s soldered into the electrical board inside the cluster burns out. But I haven’t seen them all go out together. Usually they start flickering one or two at a time until the bulb burns itself out. It’s a...
Yeah we got one big storm two weeks ago, and that’s been it. And it’s been so warm that what we got has already melted away including on the ski resorts which kinda sucks. But I’m ready for spring and for ski season to be done anyways.
I will usually order from rock auto when doing preventative maintenance projects that I can plan ahead of time and get good prices on parts that aren’t needed right away for immediate repair. I’ve always had good luck with them. Only had to return one time so far in the years I’ve used them and...
Meanwhile we had our first winter storm of the season more than halfway through winter and barely a week later it’s back to 60 degree days…. lol. You’re having tons of crappy winter weather and I’m having an extended fall….
Nice work being done so far!! Really cool to hear about these awesome rigs living good lives abroad! Share some photos of the whole truck when ya get a chance!
Never been smoked in as far as I’m aware, at least from when I bought it there was no evidence of its previous owner smoking in it. And I have never smoked anything ever in life so I certainly haven’t smoked in it lol. And the headliner currently in it got pulled from a ridiculously clean 2005...
While the genuine GM shift cable and aftermarket cables don’t appear to be any longer externally, I could definitely tell the cable internally is longer. Couldn’t get a good side by side photo of the two parts but once I got the GM cable installed proper, I didn’t have to adjust the middle bits...
NAPA got me the short pioneer branded cable in late Monday afternoon. Had to reschedule mondays detail work for my shop friends to Tuesday so the short cable got me back in business to get to work Tuesday and make some cash. The GM longer cable was supposed to get delivered late in the day...
this last week has been absolutely chaos….. ooi….
Sunday a week ago, I get up and head to 8:45 service at church. All good there. On my way back across town, stop into the grocery store to grab a. Few items, to drop off at home and then head to a detail appointment with a new client that I...
driving into the port of Long Beach was fun. I love bridges and there’s two… one being the iconic green Vincent Thomas bridge.
And a good view driving back eastbound out of the port across the bridge getting a killer view showing jsut how massive QM2 is. Never had seen her in person...
And of course gotta take truck pics with the beautiful ship. After touring around, I drove over to the world cruise terminal and snap a few photos of QM2.
Knew I needed to be up on the bow of the ship to catch the first morning sound off of the horns at ships opening….. my inner little kid was jumping for joy sitting there listening…. :favorites37:
Well life has given me no shortage of non-dull moments lately. Two mondays ago took the truck down to Long Beach to the Queen Mary for a 6:30am sunrise harbor cruise to see the QM2 pull in along side the original Mary for a quick meet up and water cannon salute on her way into LA world cruise...
Glad daughter is ok!! Having your first accident is scary and even more so on a 6 lane interstate…. Been there done that myself and it certainly isn’t a pleasant experience! Glad you were able to go rescue her! Dad to the rescue!
On a serious note, genuine question…. When did the condition of the brake pedal indicate what type of miles, a vehicle has been driven? Because just about every GM full size rigs I’ve detailed in the last 15 years has a pedal that looks like that….. never seen a win looking brake pedal from lots...
looks like a nice truck. I drove a couple 5.3 powered trucks and in my opinion in the standard wheel base rigs it has plenty of get up and go. And we all know how reliable the 5.3 is. But in the longer heavier trucks I felt that the 5.3 was a little underwhelming. Which is what motivated me to...
Even if I lived off the mountain and only drove on dry smooth roads I still wouldn’t put Bridgestones on my rig. There’s a reason they’ve been nicknamed brickstones. They just suck all around. lol. Go with the Michelins you won’t be disappointed.
My comment was merely just to point out that the OP could run whatever newer style GM OE wheel fits their fancy and don’t HAVE to be limited to the brand of the current truck simply because center caps can be changed out easily. Sorry you couldn’t find caps. I’ve swapped wheels multiple times in...
Everyone and their brother has tried this. Many members have newer OEM take off wheels on older rigs, myself included. I purposely upsized from a 27/55/20 tire to a 275/60/20 tire for better ride comfort and experienced no issues. The only way to tell if you’re going to run into issues is to...
