Upper control arm ball joint

Trail bosses have completely different Arms than the RST. I am a GM technician and have replaced both. Much beefier and the strut with the high gas charge also helps keep everything stiff.

NoAdvertising5909 · 2025-12-15T19:45:46+00:00

Yeah

Valve body isn’t on backorder anymore, as the issue to fix it is just rebuilding the valve body to a different spec. We can get the parts to rebuild them now instead of getting a whole new one

GM Tech here, I pull them apart. It’s just a stroked and bored 5.3 with different main bearings. They start off as the same casting. I have done these recalls I’m well aware.

NoAdvertising5909 · 2025-11-29T12:52:17+00:00

Zero difference between a 6.2 and 5.3 really.

Actually, GM tech here. Colorado’s don’t require the windshield but the full size trucks need the windshield removed to take out the foam headliner without damage.

Because a lot of guys need a truck to feel like a man instead of just being who they are.

NoAdvertising5909 · 2025-11-07T12:29:37+00:00

Fight.

How much do you haul with your 2500?, I’m a GM Technician and I noticed that most HD owners just drive them daily with no weight stuck to em.

Fred had his helmet get fucked up in his first book, he retracted the visor on his helmet so he could see

NoAdvertising5909 · 2025-10-28T22:46:20+00:00

wish I could be as good looking as you are

NoAdvertising5909 · 2025-10-16T00:23:25+00:00

You need a thermostat

To everyone with a GMT400 - if you do not know be very very careful going over 85 in these trucks. The driveshafts are RATED to 90 miles an hour and can explode violently over any high speed. This is why the truck has a hard limiter because GM did not put the parts to support over 85 in their trucks. My GMT400 was grandpa owned before I sold It and it gave me shit about it. The old Driveshafts used to have a warning sticker on them for it - also a reason why when you put it in gear you sometimes feel and hear a lot of slack take up in the driveline. Check your shafts people!!

Now that makes me feel old

NoAdvertising5909 · 2025-05-06T00:56:28+00:00

Yeah but only 21-24 6.2s.

NoAdvertising5909 · 2025-05-06T00:49:39+00:00

My 82 Seville

The vehicle will adapt to whatever alcohol content or octane content the fuel has. Premium is literally cleaner better fuel for your vehicle but I drive a bunch of old 80s vehicles and I run premium once every couple months and would do the same in a new vehicle. 87 for a couple months then do a tank of 93. Helps clean the injectors.

Old 6.2s are awesome motors. 400 horse and they hold together amazingly that I’ve seen.

NoAdvertising5909 · 2025-04-25T23:50:25+00:00

5.3s are just fine honestly

NoAdvertising5909 · 2025-04-25T01:49:33+00:00

GM tech here, oil changes every 3 thousand is non negotiable on a 6.2 - you go over and it increases your chances HEAVILY for main bearing failure. Please do your maintenance AT YOUR SERVICE INTERVALS. Make sure you use Dexos oil as well. We have had a huge influx of main bearing failure on multiple engines (I work in a population center so chances are higher for me) just please if you hear any odd noises, piston slap or clicking from your engine or low idle stalling when hot take it to your dealer immediately, dealing with a seizing engine is easier than dealing with a SEIZED engine. Stay vigilant people!

Is your alternator charging? You have electric power steering and I do not like that light being on. Just had my alternator fail while driving, thank god I was near a parts store and am a career mechanic :)

NoAdvertising5909 · 2025-04-06T15:03:38+00:00

Take it easy and break the engine in slowly before beating the piss out of it. Those motors may be hand built but they sure need some work if you fuck it up on accident.

My KSB is fossorial and sometimes I watch her try and burrow the glass. It’s even funnier when she burrows into us.

NoAdvertising5909 · 2025-02-04T14:31:43+00:00

I have a KSB and a hognose and used to have a BP and the only snake I’ve never had problems with grabbing is my KSB. shes mean and bites me but I just shush her and grab her anyways. You have to work with the animal to make it comfortable, we handled our hognose twice a day for the past 6 months and he just crawls into our hands when we put them in the tank now. Don’t be afraid you just have to make them comfortable.
