I guess this is really the closest thing to a side shot that I have. Haven't been able to do anything with it or go anywhere in a while due to an extremely unpredictable work schedule
Always glad to see another GMT800 rig on here.
So if your truck has the holy grail of options with the 5.3L V8, Z71 package (which i see it does), and the towing package, it should have 4.10 gears from the factory. This means that the engine will still work in it's powerband all the way up to...
Not overland related but when I first took my old Sonic to a track day I learned very quickly that Street Performance brake pads does not really work for track performance (I was young and very dumb). It was at Atlanta Motorsports Park where turn 1 in that car is a roughly 30mph corner coming...
From what I understand, since the CVs are designed to work with the full suspension travel they aren't going to have a high chance of damage unless the upper control arms are constantly maxed out, which is also bad for ball joints, factory length shocks, etc. But there is always a chance for...
Saw online somewhere that somebody swapped the DRL's to another blinker bulb to make the whole lower housing a blinker/parking light like the 90's trucks used to be. I liked it so I did it to my Tahoe. I think it turned out great

I apologise if I started an argument or anything. I was just speaking from my personal experience with my turbo Chevy Sonic and official figures from Mazda about the turbo CX-5. These could just be two outliers...
In my Tahoe I run 89 because the engine just seems a bit "happier" with it. On N/A vehicles, for the most part, I would go with what the manufacturer recommends. On modern turbo cars, like the Sonic I used to have, I would say run premium even if the manufacturer says regular. From my experience...
Sweet rig. I have a similar platform in the back of my '04 Z71 except it's wood and weighs enough and is awkward enough that it takes two people to remove it...
So a week or so ago, a coworker told me about a problem for the 99-07 4wd GM trucks and SUV's called "pump rub." Basically, in the transfer case, the aluminum oil pump is on the main shaft "floating" in the magnesium tail housing. Since aluminum is stronger than magnesium, and there will be...
