@Geotrash Question for you! Did you Denso radiator have this crack, stress releif, or whatever it is on it? I am 0/2 currently. The 1st 2 photos below was my initial radiator that came in from RA, and I assumed it was bent and cracked so I returned it for a replacement. Well, replacement came in...
Changed the rear differential fluid; something I'd not yet done before on this. Cleaned all inside with carb cleaner. Painted the outside portion of the diff cover silver. And found a drill attachment wire wheel worked well for cleaning all mating surfaces. I used a GM OEM rubber gasket to put...
Bit off topic, but does this cause the car to have a 'hill assist' control? Because I swear when getting going from a stop on a hill it feels like it takes an extra push of the pedal like the brakes are holding without my foot on the brake pedal. Never bothered to look it up though.
My cooling system refresh parts have begun arriving! The Denso radiator came in today. Thermostat, thermostat housing, and radiator hoses earlier this week. Now I'm just waiting on the water pump and heater hoses (the auxiliary "inlet" and "outlet" if I recall, one of which is the metal...
All - Appreciate the insight on the alternator incl. the potential for newer/higher amp rating ones! Ultimately however, given the potential upside should a problem arise during road tripping, I ended up going with the Carquest Premium 160-amp through Advance ($200 after the $10 core charge)...
That looks sooooo clean, dam! Nice truck.
Appreciate the write-up and interesting to see how your 'problem items' have evolved through the generations. Some of your items brought back memory of my dad cursing while fixing... particularly the "quick disconnects" haha
I'm not even looking forward to it on our current one :D because I probably will not convert to the fixed struts. I believe ours has the Z55 "Autoride" package, thankfully not the Z95 "Magnetic ride control" which I hear is even pricier.
Thanks! Good to know about the extra thickness too. I've had good luck with them and Bosch in the past, but haven't bought stuff for the GM vehicles in a bit. I'll proceed w buying that one then most likely.
Like from the '21+ current gen? I see the below on RA from a 2021 for $153 (no core charge) wow good price. I'll search for the build thread you mentioned.
I wonder if the 170 amp units from the K2xx trucks would also directly fit on... I hadn't thought to look into either of these things...
