I have a 2015 Silverado 3500 6.6L and it needs a complete flush of all fluids, ordered all fluids and filters on this page today
https://www.searchforparts.com/oil-c...-pickup-6.6l-8

need to have the engine last, I am very harsh on it. Also check out these projector headlights by Recon! May order these today

A bit pricey but going to keep the vehicle for a while.

just bought a 2019 Ford Ranger and changed the fluids with this stuff:

including the severe gear lube. I am rough on my trucks with a heavy foot so I need everything to help out.

also detailed it with a good wax, this is solid stuff:

I want to install an overhead gun rack for the hunting season. I am new to this hobby and I hope to have a good install that will fit my 2 bushmaster. I am looking into this https://car-parts-home.com/truck-gun-racks/. I am interested to know if anyone had also installed a gun rack on their 09 Silverado 1500. Any feedback is highly appreciated.

Not too long ago, I wanted to take my truck to car & auto detailing . Because he couldn't afford it for a long time . But not too long ago I was able to do it. Because I like my car very much to be very clean. That's how I like my car now. And in the spring, by the way, I want to buy new rims myself!

I really like driving my 1969 Chevy C20 on the So Cal freeways. Presently, the trk has been undergoing a major engine upgrade. Replacing the Perkins 6-354ci with a Perkins 6-354ci Phaser turbo 285 HP, aluminum billets roller rocker arms, added an overdrive rear to the pneumatic 10 speed tranny, added a water injection system (WIS). The fire wall had to be cut and moved back three inches and two inches wider to accommodate the Phaser. Making a two piece fiberglass firewall cover and a tranny cover. Hopefully, the trk should be back on the road this summer.

I have a desire and some free money to make my Automobible better using special offers. On occasion, I cleaned off the already peeling paint and rust spots on the tow hitch. Reinforced it by adding 10mm metal stiffening ribs. In addition I've welded two plates, so there would be no vertical play. Otherwise, in a road with a trailer is just annoying the constant knocking. I guess everything turned out pretty good. For the future, I need to weld a nozzle with a shackle and a hook for towing.

Pulled the glovebox and decoded the RPOs/VIN on my '04 to confirm it’s an LQ4 (8th digit U) with GT4 3.73s. Swapped the serpentine belt and tensioner to kill a cold-start squeal and torqued everything to spec. Since I’m on the East coast, I wire-brushed the frame and hit it with Fluid Film, then cleaned the throttle body and MAF while I had it apart.
