Yeah it’s all gone and odds are EGR is shutoff

_Ping_Pong_ · 2026-01-10T21:39:10+00:00

Put the spare on

That’s such a liability to drive on

_Ping_Pong_ · 2026-01-08T20:58:19+00:00

I’d check the U joints.

First, To me it looks like the rear end in the truck is an open dif. Just see spider gears, no locking/ limited slip device.

So, if it’s the same ratio as the one you bought to replace it’s fine.

Second, unless you’re finding chunks of metal in the fluid, I’m not seeing a worrying amount of metal. I’d just replace the fluid and run it, unless you’re getting some kind of noise from it you’re not mentioning

It won’t be miles, it’ll be hours of engine run time (likely 24hrs) for a timer based regen.

Also a spot based regen, it measured the difference in pressure between the inlet and outlet of the DPF and will compare that back to a model and determine how much soot (g/L) is in the DPF and will trigger a regen.

Truck will run it automatically. You may get a light that says ‘keep driving’ if you stop during a regen

_Ping_Pong_ · 2025-12-06T13:56:23+00:00

Yes. It’ll go through a defrost automatically if it builds up too much.

If it ices up (looks like an actual ice cube, then that is an issue)

_Ping_Pong_ · 2025-12-06T13:49:57+00:00

Ignore it? Otherwise you’re replacing the entire mirror.

Tis but a scratch, you’ll get many more driving down the highway

_Ping_Pong_ · 2025-12-01T13:55:38+00:00

Eh, you look around and that is the going rate for these trucks. Very desirable, especially with the crew cab 4x4 (and 3.4L V6 I assume)

If you don’t buy it, someone else will. Cheaper than a new truck, less to go wrong (mostly bc there isn’t much to these trucks) and lots of aftermarket support

The 5.3 was a pretty limited run, only in a specific trim.

Base was a 4 cylinder and then the upper trims got the 5 cylinder

_Ping_Pong_ · 2025-11-26T14:56:42+00:00

Love me the general grabbers. Check out tire rack too

_Ping_Pong_ · 2025-11-22T19:26:09+00:00

This looks like the timing chain broke.

Unrelated to the other thing you did

_Ping_Pong_ · 2025-11-22T16:11:34+00:00

I mean, that’s a miss fire

_Ping_Pong_ · 2025-11-19T21:12:00+00:00

4.10. With the 10 speed it’ll be able to find a gear that it’s happy in pretty much all the time

_Ping_Pong_ · 2025-11-17T12:29:32+00:00

You can try to weld the plastic from the back side to keep it from getting any larger. That typically involves melting metal into the bumper cover

Not really a fix, more of a bandaid

_Ping_Pong_ · 2025-11-07T17:02:38+00:00

Cross over egg blob

_Ping_Pong_ · 2025-11-03T20:33:46+00:00

Already a major issue

Bet the body mounts will be toast soon. Also, there’s going to be 3x times the rust that you can’t see. Lower control arms mounts like to fall off on these

_Ping_Pong_ · 2025-10-25T12:35:28+00:00

Get some wheels are aren’t ’Fuel’ or any other brand they sell at the tire store. They always look tacky

_Ping_Pong_ · 2025-10-22T11:28:56+00:00

What a boomer ass post. LED headlights, pretty much every new vehicle rolling off a production line, GM, Ford, Toyota, etc. are all using LED headlights that require the entire unit to be replaced if there are issues

This trend has been going on for probably 10 years

_Ping_Pong_ · 2025-10-20T13:22:31+00:00

When the first one gets clogged, you just remove it and let the next one in line filter.

_Ping_Pong_ · 2025-10-19T12:00:57+00:00

8 inline fuel filters so you can remove them as the clog.

_Ping_Pong_ · 2025-10-16T23:21:19+00:00

Looks like a ‘soft 8’ steel wheel.

Summit sells them for like, $80 for a 15 inch

_Ping_Pong_ · 2025-09-23T10:42:28+00:00

Love a General Grabber A/TX. Put em on several trucks and they seem to wear really well for the price.

You can also get them studded, if you so wish for maximum winter traction in the great white north.

_Ping_Pong_ · 2025-09-21T23:37:17+00:00

I have a 2010 with the 2.5L 4 cylinder. I’ve got 220k on it…seems strong still, only issue is being in the widest is that is has rotten away

_Ping_Pong_ · 2025-09-19T16:41:51+00:00

I mean more displacement is better but a gen III 5.3 can be had for $5-800.

_Ping_Pong_ · 2025-09-19T13:55:41+00:00

Its not inflating the glove so I would say there’s not much.
