I can't call it redneck...I didn't see any duct tape
-
That totally sucks man....I hate seeing things like that happen to such nice trucks.
Hopefully he has really good insurance so everything can get fixed without hassle.
-
What alarm did you have installed on the truck and do you have Onstar?
-
Next time you feel that tired driving, don't, or if you have to, drive with the radio blasted like Ace Ventura with your head out the window after a Red Bull or two.
I made that mistake once and luckily the "woop woop"
woke me up before anything happened. -
Should the officer know these things because of work experience or personal experience
-
Yea...cancel your appointment and screw the stealership. Take off the airbag ( use a small screwdriver or coat hanger for both holes on the sides of the steering wheel) unplug it, turn the ignition on, then try plugging it back in with the ignition forward to see if the light goes off. It worked when mine came on after punching it (now it rattles and shakes but no light ). It could be a number of things, but I would go through the entire airbag system to at least try and fix it before going to the dealer IMO. It could be a sensor in a seat, loose ground, bad plug connection... Check the rearview when you sit in the pass seat to see if it works or not. If you open and let the glove box down you can check the plug and wires to the pass airbag in the dash. Check with a multimeter for voltage and impedance too.

Gives me an idea for a texting and driving commercial
It really sucks that it happened but luckily no one was injured.

Killer deal in parts for sure. Let me know how much you would want for the tailgate even if it doesnt have the emblem and decal. I think I am gonna get rid of the frenched tag and my current tailgate has a big notch in it. Shoot me a pm if you do pick it up.
-
You may wanna think about helper bags so it doesnt happen again. Im guessing it either wore down really thin and sheared off or you hit it hard enough to dent it and throw it outta balance and it snapped.
Did you just visually inspect the u joints or check for play?
-
Its easier to take the ten or fifteen minutes to remove the manifold, than to fight getting your hand back there. And if the sensor is really tight, finding any kinda decent angle to get more torque on it to break it loose is near impossible. Downside to removing the manifold, especially with the mileage, is you'll probably need new gaskets.
However you go about replacing the sensor, it's better to ensure it's not the pump and save yourself from shelling out more cash on a new motor or rebuild.

I have a few scratches on mine, probably from having over 2000 pounds of stuff in the bed with a 4" rear drop. But they're just surface scratches and nothing deep.
Where did the shaft break at and can you see any marks on the crossmember where it was hitting?
-
20K huh.... 3 words.... Blown Big Block
The LS9 would be a waste of money IMO. But besides just dropping in a powerful motor, a built trans and a few other upgrades should go with it.
-
Mine did the same and it was a loose wire pin in the harness under the cup holders. If you've ever gone through the wires in the center console, it's a possibility.
I have a whine through the speakers now tho when the dome lights go on and off or if I dim them
-
The perimeter lighting feature doesn't work whatsoever? Or the lights under the side mirrors no longer work?
When scrolling through the DIC as you said you did, you can have it set on and off. If yours is set ON and it's not working, you may have to have the BCM checked.
-
A lot of the other wires on full power doors plug into the factory harness on full trim trucks and go to the BCM. You would have to get wiring schematics for both trucks and try to wire the power doors into yours once you who which each pin goes to and where to wire it if possible. Otherwise, you may have to swap the harness too.
Never done a swap on a silverado, but that's what I did on a buddy's ranger.
-
All that hard work and time really paid off. Def clean n shiny Brian.
-
Your stock manifold won't work with those heads because the ports are different. You would need a different one compatible with the l92's
-
Depending on which heads you want, there may be a gain to be had or a loss. Which heads were you looking at and do you ever plan on adding boost or spray? Your overall goals for what you want to do should depend on the heads you pick now unless you like swapping them out. If you're just gonna do a simple head swap, then you'll need new gaskets, possibly intake manifold gaskets depending on their condition, new coolant, exhaust gaskets, hardened pushrods and springs if you'd choose to and swap out your stock tc too.
-
It's possible you may have a warped rotor, but you would feel it slightly under regular braking and driving conditions. My truck has done it too when I have done the same thing, but I think it's the crappy vacuum setup. I almost have everything to do the hydraboost setup and hope that will fix the problem.
-
It can definitely be done to the SS. A few years back I tossed around the idea and had a motor and trans on hand to do the swap. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I would have rather gotten a rcsb silvy and dropped a dmax in there and made it look like a SS than hack that far into my real one.
You'll obviously need to fab up motor mounts, swap out the harness, new driveshafts, pedals, and a lot of other stuff too. Luckily for you, you have a 2wd SS so it won't be as bad to mock up. I say go for it though man.
-
the club.....
All those tacky chrome flamed out accents are a better theft deterrent.
Sad to see that done to an SS

Cats
in General SS
Hi-flow cats are a waste of money IMO. Had em and burnt em up real quick. If they do a visual inspection on vehicles where you live, you're gonna need to have cats. Otherwise, just pay someone on the side to do the job. You'd be surprised how many people would do it for a few extra bucks.

How do you factor the score if you have a 12-pack handicap?

WTF did he do with that exhaust
That poor truck. Someone needs to rip the dumbass outta the SS and take him off deeper into the woods...
