What did you do to your GMT today?

[ItsOnVoy]

The story is that one station was bought out and the new owner put a sign on the front door "Now hiring. USA not apply." So the other station (corp backed) started to try to drive them out of business. Went on for almost 3 weeks. Cops had to direct traffic, had roads closed. People were waiting in line for 45 minutes. Sucked to get through that mess.

Oh wow, in the end did one stay and the other go?

 

[Short Bus]

Replaced the starter this morning, then drove it all over the place today, and filled the tank at the cheapest gas station in a 30 mile radius. It happened again, gas just started to touch the $3 mark and oil jumps and gas jumps back up to $3.59+

I just filled up my wife's car @ $3.34

After that sign I wouldn't buy ANYTHING from them no matter how cheap they sold it.

They are both still open. The station with the sign, gave up and started to raise their price back up. The other station is still about .10/gal cheaper. $3.19 and $3.10 today. After I heard about that sign I won't go there for ANYTHING either. I went to the other station. People were still lined up there though.

 

[Porkins]

This will make the guys paying $4 gal pissed off, I only payed $2.99 the other day.

 

[TexazReece]

Well got my headunit unlocked, idler pulley replaced ( no more whinning noise when pressing gas :wootwoot, new serpentine belt, tranny flush & a quik wash.

 

[Irishboy02]

could've been forgiven if there were girls in the tub with you...

Later on I had 8 of them in there with me - no one was left with enough balance to take a steady pic by that point though!

[ItsOnVoy]

got the oil changed, stupid oil filter was stuck so couldnt change that! Will have to wait till next time or something

 

[Sparky]

I just filled up my wife's car @ $3.34

I got it for $3.32 And I was further down in Columbus. Most stations were at the $3.59 mark, that doesn't mean I paid that much

 

[MAY03LT]

Replaced the door pins and bushings in the pickup. The drivers door closes like a dream now.:wootwoot:

Wow $3.32, We havn't seen those kinda numbers in a long time. Last I filled up it was $3.48 then went back up to $3.59......

 

[TexazReece]

Should have just jammed a screw driver through it and spun it off.

Yeah but if that doesn't then I am screwed with a filter with a hole in it lol its in a crappy spot, I have a big hand and it was hard getting a grip of it and my dad couldn't get it either. Usually we are able to change it, don't know why it got stuck this time. Oh well Ill just take it to the dealer next time and have them deal with it.

Then you just keep working on it until it comes off!! Silly excuses

loll I worked on it for a good 30 mins and said forget it after. I had a filer wrench or something like that, and that didn't help either because it wouldn't fit in that small slot they give you to get to the filter.

When mine gets stuck I put a little carb cleaner on the rag and it seems to work.

 

[Sparky]

Drove it all this weekend. Also ordered new liftgate support struts since my left one blew out. That thing is heavy without both support struts working.

I used brake cleaner on a rag for mine. Worked like a charm.

 

[Short Bus]

.....since my left one blew out......

That musta hurt

hmm I did not think to try that, Jrss gave me the idea of trying to use a glove with grips on it and did that and also nothing. Its just the spot its located and my big hand doesnt seem to equal. I have to twist with my wrist rather then use my elbow or shoulder so it was harder. Oh well Ill figure something out for next time no biggie. Already put the new oil in

 

[jrSS]

But the thing is is that now the dirty filter wil contaminate the new oil.

with a break in the heat wave that has had us here up north in Ohio seeing 100*+ the last few days, i decided to finish off some of my panels with plasti dip.. i also did my fathers bowtie on his Colorado...

first coat...

All done...

so easy to take my dads bowtie off.. just like my SS... 2 bolts and shes off...

and the finished product...

he likes it... im starting to itch his mod bug

 

[fr34kout]

So glad I did my panels lol, can't wait to black suede my headliner and spray the rest of the roof pieces.

 

[Boricua SS]

yup, thats what i was thinking too, suede my headliner.. but for now, im satified...

 

[Short Bus]

Looks good Juan

BTW We're hittin' triple digits in central OH also

 

[TollKeeper]

Gave it a bath, cleaned out all the front seat, uhm.. Thats about it really.

 

[Irishboy02]

Got some prep stuff to paint my headlights. Hopefully get that done tomorrow.

 

[Kuchar09]

Here is what I have done so far on the liner, still need to get the door panels and plastic rocker panels back on and finish sand blasting the bumper and paint it. Was originally going to do my front bumper in black but now I'm thinking about matching the front bumper like the rest of the truck. Any opinions?

 

[TollKeeper]

Looks very Azteky.. And thats not a bad thing. Since I own one.

It looks almost too smooth or consistent to be liner to me for some reason. Stuff I've seen previously was much more granular/coarse looking.

Also, is it just the picture angle or is your axle way off center from the vehicle body? Looks like it is kicked way over to the right.

 

[Kuchar09]

Well you can get different textures depending on what psi you use. Here is the best pic I have of the texture. I think the texture turned out perfect not to rough that its going to hurt to rub against your skin but will hopefully still give some good protection and most importantly fixed my rust!! :wootwoot: I hope lol
To get a good look at the texture click on the picture and let it load, click on it again and then click once more to zoom in! (ignore the tape reside left behind, it is now gone)


I think its just the picture that's making the axle look off since it isn't in person. I do see what you mean tho... weird

 

[Boricua SS]

well its not what i did to my GMT today... but what i did for the GMTNation... updated/repleanished my premium support status and contributed for the next 6 months :wootwoot:

Brough it home from the boby shop today, bumper cover repaint from a lady that hit me a couple weeks back.

Side note: I sure hated taking the rental her insurance paid for back, was a nice new Silverado. Was nice driving since Friday, but sure had a thirst.

 

[shrek77]

View attachment 21794Well today I painted the fog light holes, fixed the sagging back door seals, and installed the 13 led 194 bulbs from eby.

 

[rmsg0040]

Towed a trailer for the first time. Only problem I had was moving it in reverse. Turn left to steer right and vice versa.

 

[jrSS]

Installed new head light I bought on ebay and put on new serp. belt....runs like a champ. Trimmed the headlight mod for more air flow. Now all I gotta do is change all the fluids. Yay...(frown)
