Your tools are more valuable than ever before
As a retired engineer (last position was as Electrification Engineer on Heavy Duty EV trucks/buses), I agree with you. When I graduated from a small, private, high-end college, it took about 3 months' of my new salary to equate to my senior year's tuition. Now, it takes about 9 months' salary of... -
2025 colorado/canyon wheels on our gmt800s
Those do look good; nice find. For those interested, 2019 and newer Ram truck wheels are also compatible with our trucks. I was able to find a set and put them on my 2005 Yukon. I like that they are relatively simple, yet look strong. Nice that we have so many choices for nice looking wheels, at... -

Thank you 4silvarado! It's guys like you that step up and keep things moving and cleanly. I am very active in a motorcycle forum (Concours Owners Group), and the policy is similar - keep it respectful, keep it clean. -
Problem with steering wheel controls
I agree with the clock spring comment. It coils and uncoils every time the steering wheel is turned. After some time, some of the wires in it can crack, losing the connection. When the wheel is turned all the way, the two ends of the cracked wire make contact, and things work again. When the...- JorgeS

Features deleted by GM (gmt800 life cycle)
It seems that the external fuel filter deletion (or actually, incorporating it into the fuel pump) was a cost savings without any real effect on users - why no effect? 1- the fuel pumps usually die well before the fuel filter would get plugged :confused: 2- The fuel lines, and the fuel pump...- JorgeS

Truck Norris cam and trailblazer i6 converter.
Yes! Fender liners are important for many reasons. Thanks for the tip; I'll be sure to look at the attachment points. This truck is in fantastic shape from the rockers up and interior like new; below, not horrible, but not great. I don't understand it; almost like it was stored in a...- JorgeS

Rusty Fuel Lines: Replacing lines not enough
My fuel lines were very rusty. There are many flexible lines available, and after looking over reviews, I bought a set of Dorman; they look very well made. I raised the truck on jack-stands. I was unable to get the rear fitting (to the nylon line) off, and after other setbacks, I decided to take...- JorgeS

Truck Norris cam and trailblazer i6 converter.
Running the stock 5.3, no mods (yet). You're probably right that the increase air-box capacity won't make a measurable difference; it reduces restrictions, but not enough to make a noticeable difference. I'm getting everything I can for free (except for my time)! You make a good point about...- JorgeS

Truck Norris cam and trailblazer i6 converter.
Sorry for the slow response, and thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure what I'll end up doing. I have too many project I've started and may put this off for a bit. The extra work of putting in a higher stall converter, and the difficulty without a lift, is somewhat of an obstacle. Thanks again!- JorgeS

Passenger side and liftgate key slots; our 2001 Suburban had both, our 2005 Yukon only driver's door key slot. Not sure if only Suburbans had these, but our 2001 Suburban LE had both a power door lock button on right rear pillar, and a 12V outlet; 2005 Yukon neither. Our 2005 Yukon steering...- JorgeS

Truck Norris cam and trailblazer i6 converter.
Couple of questions: 1- How did you tune it to run well with the TN cam? 2- Did you notice a significant change in MPG? I'm thinking of installing the TN cam in my 2005 Yukon 4x4. Planning to keep the stock converter, upgrade exhaust, get a Airaid intake tube, and use an HP Tuner to tune it...- JorgeS
