r/GMT800

I snagged this sale over the weekend and thought it would be a great time to get my 5.3 tuned up. What oil do you all use in your 5.3s? A friend suggested I try 15w40 Rotella, but I’m seeing some mixed reviews online. She’s not the most attractive, but I got her for what I’d consider a steal! It’s a 2006 Silverado 1500 with 170k miles (the lowest mileage I could find on the marketplace during my search). The previous owner replaced the front end after an accident. She currently has a GMC Yukon front end, which I’m currently looking to switch back to a Chevy Silverado front end. Everyone seems to prefer the “cateye” 03-06 front end, but I’m actually looking for a “bubble eye” 99-02 front end for my Silverado. Thoughts on a bubble eye conversion?

Finally found the time to lock in and finally do my tie rods. I do it one piece at a time, and it cost me a lot of dimes

DONT TELL BARB I BORROWED HER SPICE JAR.

Just got home from a day of off-roading and overlanding around the Sierra Nevadas in California. I was impressed with how she performed! Didn’t get too wild, I was focused on just exploring and enjoying the trip. She brought me to some amazing, isolated views!

Like title states i got an 03’ Z71 tahoe, the rear has a single caliper. Here’s a photo of the front and back if someone can help me identify them!

Reason i ask is 2wd models are like this, and all the kits for 4wd im seeing are for dual rear caliper. even after putting in my vehicles info it says both fit!

Thank you in advance, sorry if this is a dumb question

As the title says, I’m trying to replace one of the 12v cigarette lighter ports on my 2001 Silverado. It’s the style where the 3 ports are underneath the HVAC controls. In the immediate future I’ll be installing the Metra double din conversion kit in order to fit a carplay head unit so I’m looking to add the Scosche dash port in as well to make it seamless.

When I remove the trim piece around the steering wheel, gauge cluster and head unit I don’t see any way to get behind the ports in order to replace them. Any help you guys have would be deeply appreciated, thank you!

PS - I just realized I could remove this little plastic cube next to the passenger air bag toggle, do you guys have any cool suggestions that could go in there?

Facebook marketplace is a wild place

did a little upgrading. Idler setup and gear box shaft had a little play and scaloped tires. Hopefully this fixes it permanently. kryptonite parts match up to a 00-06 1500. Gearbox is likely identical to the psc unit but just sourced off rockauto from the oem lars for half the price

Just wanted to share my truck with you guys.
Greetings from Luxembourg🇱🇺!🤠

As summer rolls around don’t forget your poor spare tire.

5 hours from home, rolling at 75mph 8minutes from Ohios border in PA, rear right tire exploded.

Checked tires, fluids, brakes a couple days before. All was fine. Must have picked something up in a road zone in PA.

The spare happened to be as old as the truck, AND low on air, but driveable to the nearest town (8mins).

All in all, amazing start to my wedding week 😂 however all is good now and the White Whale has new shoes, albeit less beefy than the Wranglers…

Based off your guys’ expertise where do I start? It’s starting to be too much and the truck runs great so want to take care of it. Lower pan gasket? Rear main? Oil is everywhere

Took off door panel and found this unused connector. Does anyone know what could it be? Everything on my door is plugged in
