What did you do to your GMT today?

[mcsteven]

I'll have to google it. My owners manual references it. Got to buy tires soon; looking for lifetime alignment, and have ideas (but no $$) for a trailer. I'll try to photoshop something today for my idea.

Was TPMS stock on this platform? Or on the Envoy?

Not sure. I know my 07 TB came with them, but my TB has every option available except the overhead DVD player. My TB use to be a corporate vehicle at GM in Michigan. Somehow it ended up in Alexandria, VA, but only had 15,000 miles on it.

The 2006 OE TBSS wheels that I bought came with TPMS sensors as well. Maybe it is stock on the TBSS and option for the TB/Voy 2006 and newer

My mothers Hyundai santa fe was always having an issue with the tpms sensor. They we're bs'ing her with answers as to why, like "cell towers interference". I can't tell ya how many times she brought that damn thing to the stealership to have that "fixed"

Very strange. I know the wheels have to be mounted to the vehicle for the sensors to work. Even with one tire off sitting next to the vehicle it will not show the psi of the tire.

Thing that got me was the I have done the manual TPMS relearn multiple times. You have to do it everytime you rotate your tires or the sensors will not know what location they are in. When looking at the DIC, you will get wrong information on which tire has what psi or if you have a tire that has a low psi.

Typically, the TPMS light will turn on when your tire's aire pressure hits 28psi. Happens a lot in the winter, but after driving for 10 min, the air in the tire heats up and expands. Then the light goes out.

I never found out what exactly the issue was

 

[mcsteven]

My Voy SLT has most of the options. 4WD, Bose stereo (no nav, not sure if it was offered in 2006), sunroof, heated leather seats. No DVD. I'll research.

Surprised some people with the strobes...lol

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

No Tpms in my 06...thankfully

Ok. I wasn't sure if the previous owner just removed it or ....

Careful Bubba. In CT or CA it can land you a very hefty ticket.
What color are they and how are they mounted?

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Using mine to do some moving

 

[IllogicTC]

Key words: 'Just Plastic'. And if my ultimate goal is to have sliders.. then why would I buy more 'just plastic' to satiate a purely asthetic need? MUST MOD ALL THE THINGS!!! I thought you would understand this, Brandon...?

You're right. In this case, it needs to be upholstered in REAL VELOOOUUURRRR. -Zapp Brannigan

I got a chance to try these LEDs out in my pickup (the big one is the new style). One of two of the previous LEDs were flickering so it was time for a change. They also had to be dimmed down a little (with the dimmer) because they made killer hotspots.



Turned out pretty good. The pic makes them look way brighter then they are. The bottom left of the cluster doesn't look as dim in person but is noticeable enough that there needs to be another LED in that area. That should be a fun project!

Looks great! I will be getting the rest of my instrumentation done very soon.

Changed her oil.

Been a long time Fram filter user and recently saw the cut-a-ways showing differences in filters and got an ACDelco filter this time. Cut open the Fram filter to see for myself and what would ya know, no card board ends inside like what everyone shows, they were metal. This was a filter made for synthetic oil (didn't ask for it, it was just what the parts guy brought me) and the most expensive one so maybe the lesser filters by Fram have the card board ends in them but this one didn't. I'll probably cut up some more Frams that are lying around that are different than the one I had to see what they look like inside. Can provide pics if anyone can't believe what I said about the Fram filter lol.

Drove the TB through the touchless carwash since I have already winterized my pressure washer.

 

[mike_k]

Painted the bowtie red. Not sure. If I like it though.....thinking about painting it black as well.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Showed off the underbelly LEDs .

 

[Blckshdw]

Reconnected my switchback LED strip in the passenger side mirror. Used some 3M double sided tape to hold the cracked and chipped lens in place for a few days until the replacement gets here and I get it Niteshaded.

 

[steelcityTB]

Did the paint job you guys talked about doing on the rockers , now just have to get my pillars done.

 

[BlazingTrails]

Looks good but why didn't you make it even with the bumpers?

 

[Darkrider_LS]

Changed the left side brake components and noticed that the inner left pad had more wear as well so it looks like im changing calipers in the near future... Also noticed that the inner pad had cracks all the way through the friction material...

 

[steelcityTB]

There were two edits that the user did on here, one with the rockers jus done , and then inline with the bumpers, tbh, I did not like then in line look.

It's just dipped and glossed so when I do feel like it needs to be higher or gone in general when I paint the bumpers, then I can .

Next page is how it would of looked like inline

Painted the wiper arms and cowl.

 

[steelcityTB]

That reminds me I have to do mine :/ can't stand seeing rusty arms

Don't forget the rear bumper step pad. Mine was as faded as the wiper cowl and wiper arms.

That and the side skirts are my next project

 

[mike_k]

That is the next step. Have to replace the passenger side step and do the side skirts as well.

 

[Grimor]

hooked the lights up on my winch, they do a great job of lighting up the cable. i have a couple others for the spool I've gotta add and a on/off switch

 

[Boricua SS]

Started the beaSSt up for the first time since she's been parked... fired up like a champ! Love that exhaust note

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Moved a bunch of vinyl fencing on our car trailer with the TB.

That's the way I like it, but it looks good either way

Just got the boy a bunch of spare parts so I can do some experimenting

 

[MAY03LT]

My pickup has to go through state inspection soon so she got a pair of tires. I went with hankook again.

 

[kjkim93]

Took some dirty rolling shots!

 

[Mounce]

Washed her again before our trip, don't know why but we always wash our vehicles before going on trips.

Just so they can get bugs and crap all over them...I do it too.

Must be something about us car junkies. I usually wash it before we leave and then again when we get to wherever we are going.

 

[Mounce]

I guess we just wanna look good on the road and outta state.

 

[jpimp]

looked at her in the garage while I wait for my PCM to return from being tuned

 

[Aarkon]

Got a bad lifter on the envoy so now its getting ripped apart
