Decided it was time to do plugs since I never did them when I bought it. I did pull a couple when I bought it and they looked good. However recently I've noticed an occasional misfire or stumble at low rpm high load situations such as rolling a stop in third gear at like 3-5mph. Yes I should just downshift but this thing makes so much torque it usually doesn't mind.

Anyway pulled plugs and found one with crack porcelain and one MSD wire corroded terribly on the coil pack side.

Also while doing the passenger side I dropped a socket and had to crawl under the truck. Suddenly I noticed 2 of the passenger side crossmember bolts were extremely loose. Went ahead and checked a bunch of other stuff all was well.

Jeez all sorts of random changes. Well My HD grille and bumper came in but the grill has deep scratches and a huge crack in the middle chrome bar. Guess I gotta wait until Monday to report the broken parts and hopefully get my money back or have them send me another. Anyone have a better place to order them from besides carparts.com? I know there are no more OEM GM parts but theres got to be a place to buy a halfway decent part.

I THINK rockauto has them reasonably priced.

Rock auto looked good until it calculated shipping!

I'm gonna call carparts.com at 9am Monday and see what they say. If I don't get anywhere with them then CarID it is.

That's insane. For the grill?

 

[Dantheman1540]

That's actually for the grill and bumper pad but the shipping didn't change removing the bumper pad.

I think I'll just bite the bullet and do fed ex early AM
