  1. truxedo truxport bed cover says won't fit over spray on over-the-rail bed liners... why? does anyone here recommend a good tonneau cover?

      You'll probably need one that mounts between the bed rails instead of on top because of the seals they use. Not 100% sure on that though. Ill check out my buddies and check back. I'm pretty sure he has spray on with his

      spoke with truxedo and they said the front seal is why they don't recommend it with spray on over the rail bed liners. but with the truxport, the seal can be applied to the liner itself rather than the bed, so it should be ok... the seal doesn't stick to the spray on liner.

  2. got out of my 07 Escalade and into a 2011 z71 Silverado! ahhh love being back in a truck again

  3. wishing the escalade forums were as nice as this one.

      I am a member of like 15 forums, and most people are dicks, this site is definitely one of the best.

      yep, this is the only forum for me I am still apart of. I joined the LX forum and the people seem to be pretty nice and helpful, not really any haters. I deactivated my FB completely, never even started an Instagay. It's just poison for my mind and soul social media.

      I've had the Acadia for maybe a week now and it's been one thing after the next. Dropped it off at the stealership on my way to the airport today. Hope to go home with something different when I get back. I've read problems with oil consumption on the 5.3?

      Well thats really with any LS engine, they all really need a oil can.

      As for the GM crossover your right they are all junk shit to me, but we have over 105,000 miles on it and havent had no big issues that weren't covered on the warrenty.

      I have an '09 and I love it. If you can find an '09+ with the 6L80E, you will be better off than the '07-'08 with the 4L70E. The only thing I don't care for is the DOD, the transitions aren't so great sometimes, and getting on it from cruising speed can be tricky (lag). Easy fix, have someone with HP Tuners disable the DOD or get the $150 Range Technologies ODB module that locks out DOD like I did. Oil consumption is less with the DOD disabled.

  6. thinking of selling my SSS for more of a family cruiser. 229k with two sets of rims, spare tailgate, new in box front differential.

    1. Downeast Johnny

      Downeast Johnny

      Where and how long ago did you buy the front diff?

       

      Good luck with your sale.

  7. there's an 03 SSS with 99k for sale in my area asking $12,900

      I'd take 13k for my 03 w/95k if somebody offered it (not that I want to get rid of my truck or anything). Florida truck it's whole life, looks new underneath it.

    3. Downeast Johnny

      Downeast Johnny

      I don't need 13k bad enough to even think about it right now. Could change any day, I guess.

    4. tayldss

      tayldss

      to me, it looks like the front end has just been touched up from an accident. the gas cover has some white rash still from something. I got mine for 14k with only 78k so not sure what this dude has going on with it. I have his #

  8. thinking it is time to send in my cluster for an LED swap... white or red? I can't decide...my truck is red.

      I went with blue, (Black truck) a year + ago. The new has worn off and I am wishing that I'd gone with white.

      tayldss

      I'm highly considering GM Gauge Guys and was leaning more towards white. I'll make a post once I pull the trigger, thanks guys! Happy Father's Day!!

      that1dood

      everyone says they hold up fine. mine fit perfectly. I ran a small bead of silicone around them just to be safe... for 100 bucks really cant go wrong...

  10. trying to decide whether to rebuild my 229k front dif or buy a newer used front dif w/90k for $800...or just buy a new one for $$$$ :/

      Stealership quoted 'anywhere around $2500' for a rebuild, u-joints on the drive shaft, and new front seal/bearing of the transfer case. trying to find a reputable shop with time and no bs

    3. Downeast Johnny

      Downeast Johnny

      Sounds high even though your talking about extra stuff that I didn't need. Mine may have been a buddy price, but not a "Great Buddy price". Good luck on your search for a good shop.

  11. $10k for an 04 SSS 223,xxx?

      blue books at 10,500 in excellent with new xfr case, shocks, brakes, wheel bearings, efan, headers, fresh ac, etc. thinking might be solid truck for an sss fan

  12. really looking at upgrading to a newer truck... bills keep adding up and it needs to go:(

  13. i keep being pushed towards selling the sss when it's in for repairs. when is enough, enough?

      Aftermarket my friend. Pick up a double din aftermarket headunit and some new speakers. Sonic Electronix is a good place to start.

    2. tayldss

      tayldss

      thanks for the tip. i've been on crutchfield looking around. my main thing is a clean look and keeping my xm radio.

      Double din head dvd seems to be a great trend, and looks great. I actually purchased an Alpine CD player this year that is double din. It is very clean.

  20. looking anywhere for a '73 Buick Century or Regal... any ideas?

  21. broke in the backseat of the SSS yesterday with the lady and now my driver seat won't move and heated seats won't turn on... lol it was worth it

    1. Downeast Johnny

      Downeast Johnny

      How much of the front end are they replacing? Are they painting the whole truck or just the front end?

       

      $4400 would be a bummer with out ins. eh?
