  1. Engine noise, rattle?

    Good day folks. Brought my truck for oil change to my mechanic & weirdly enough, this weird sound started manifesting itself a week later??? I'm sure it has nothing to do with the oil... Someone(s) seemed to have the same issue here but never came back...
  2. Something I think we all realize... Planned obsolescence.

    It's GM but seem all manufacturers are the same. Planned obsolescence.
  3. That's it, I'm out!

    Click bait tittle.... I'm at 59,500 miles, brought it in to the dealership for the last time. I'll be doing most of the maintenance now. I'm out of warranty & hopping for the best. They gave me a shopping list of things to do, it came to 1600$, ouch.
  4. AC vent, passenger side broken

    Love this site! Someone put their foot on the vent... for whatever reason.... I did a quick search found the link below, very useful but I was unable to remove the whole vent but was easy to fix. Just align the 2 points as seen in pic & push the opposite in the hole...
  5. To go with that "oil thread" Air Filter

    Good day gentlemen! Received this today: I've replaced most with K&N but decided that a spring wash every yr without cleaning & oiling would greatly increase my beer time. So, who are you? - A guy that pollutes & buys the expendable ones? - A guy that buys the oily ones? - Or a dry guy? -...

  8. No more Camaro

    No link cuz some of you are paranoid. I don't like the new gen but sad it's going away. I'd like a 67-69 Camaro, or 77-78 Firebird. I really liked the Cobra II when it came out, until I realized what it really was.
  9. SVB Failed! Silicon Valley Bank.

    Hold on to your hats boys & girls, this is the start of a wild ride. 2nd biggest US bank to fail. 18 biggest in world. This will have devastating effect on the startup community. Lots of companies lost everything & will have to close. Or maybe the Fed will rescue 'them' like they did other...

  11. Kia Rio (POS) front right wheel not turning

    Just wondering if someone would know why. Just spent 15 mins using my truck as a truck, pulling in a Kia into the driveway. Daughter got home, went to backup, would not, moved forwards then tried again to backup, no go. Front right spins, left does not. First I thought trany but the right wheel...
  12. Question for folks that took apart their cab.

    Wife found this between the door & driver's seat. Is it even part of the truck or is her lunch bag falling apart? The black thing, not the blue thing. On that note, enjoy your weekend, here's a couple of songs to go with a nice cold beer! ?

  14. To buy or to lease.

    So, I thinking of getting a PHEV 6G when it comes out(if). For those who own, or know someone that has a PHEV. Issues? I like to buy & run it into the ground so never looked at leasing. I don't own a business, lease makes lots of sense with a business. Just wondering if there are 'real' issues...

  17. First time towing something heavy.

    So, pretty easy to understand, I have had 2 friends ask in the first yr, 'Hey could you help me with.... since you have a pickup' I went 2 hrs to get a scooter & another friend we put grass in bed & dumped somewhere. Hope there is not another thread like this but I'm getting drunk on a...

  20. Wax did not polish all off, will it damage paint?

    It was just above freezing & I decided to wash & wax the truck. This is the first time I used ceramic turtle wax & first time I ever wax at this temperature outside. Well, I'll never do that again. Anyway, I applied the wax , rubbed it off, it looked good but then I noticed wax was still on. It...
