    Coolant burning/boiling type smell, everyone once in a while.

    Yeah, I've been reading up on it and it's a long process, the entire dash and center console have to come out. I'm not really worried about that so much, it's the AC lines I'm concerned about. I'm worried about causing damage disconnecting them or contaminates getting into the system. I...

    Coolant burning/boiling type smell, everyone once in a while.

    Just curious if you've replaced it yet?? I noticed yesterday my 06 5.3 w/93k smells of coolant. I've been driving it the last few days because it needed exercise. I checked my records and I had barely driven it 200 miles since the oil change in November so I've been driving it. I noticed the...

    FS: Black 06+ LT Trailblazer Grill

    I have a factory black 07 LT grill that I bought from another member a couple years ago. He painted the chrome parts black as well. I ran it on my TB for about a year and it has been in the box since. No damage but the paint is flaking of the chrome part (see pics) Asking $115 plus shipping...

    Post A Pic Of Your GMT RIGHT NOW!!!

    Been sleeping in the corner for over a month now. Yesterday I went to move it forward to get a lawnmower behind it and the battery was totally dead. Couldn't even get it out of gear to roll it. I think the remote starter puts a constant drain on the battery because nothing else was turned on...

    Post A Pic Of Your GMT RIGHT NOW!!!

    Taking a snooze in the corner. I put over 30k miles on it in the past 11 months so now I'm letting it rest. Thanks! Just picked it up a couple months ago. Planning to use it as my "road car" traveling for my job. It's a 2004 but only has 27k miles on it. I don't like the fake hood scoop...

    TB is currently sitting in the garage enjoying a fresh coat of Zaino I applied last night. It's in the background watching as I was washing my other toy today.

    I just made a trip yesterday to Schaumburg for a meeting! I wouldn't have been able to bring it with me though. Just let me know.

    Free Exhaust

    Honestly, I really don't want to haul it anywhere BUT, sometime this spring I'm going to have to run over to Lena IL to pick up more trees for my yard. I'll be towing my trailer so I can easily haul it. I don't know dates yet but I can let you know.

    CB Radio of choice?

    I had a Cobra 75WXST in mine for several years but took it out last year and installed a new Uniden 520XL that I bought awhile back but hadn't used. I liked the Cobra but the 520 has some things I like better about it.

    Any other GMT's in IA?

    Another Iowa here. Up by Dubuque, moved here from Omaha last year. I travel all over the midwest for my job and I put over 30k on my TB in the 11 months. I normally don't drive it for work but I have been since April 2011. I stayed in Mt Pleasant once last fall. I was just all over Michigan...

    Stainless Works time!!

    I agree the tips aren't the best looking. If they were coming straight out under the bumper as intended, you wouldn't see the pipe and the size difference. With the spare in place, it will cover some of the pipe plus the pics were taken at a much lower angle than how you would normally see it...

    Stainless Works time!!

    Thanks, me too. I wish we could have bent these to drop at more of an angle. LOL, it's been dirty many times. I just pressure wash it often! Thanks! I pressure washed it after coming home from out of town last but haven't given it a good hand washing lately. The old setup is sitting in...

    Front Diff shaft leak

    Thanks guys! So is "front pinion seal" the correct name for it? The rear pinion is where the drive shaft goes into the rear differential? I just want to make sure I have my terms correct! I will have them look for any other leaks while they are at it. Thanks, Steve
