    I enjoy Luke Combs version of Tracy Chapmans "Fast Car"

    Back at the shop again! 😡

    At work we have used Howes for a diesel fuel conditioner and it seems to work well.

    Brake Job ?

    Coming from the rust belt if you don't service your brakes especially the rears they will get sticky and seize up. I always service mine after the salt is off the roads in the spring and usually before winter starts.

    Interesting read: 700 HP Supercharged Chevy Silverado 1500 Super Truck By FOX Is Coming Very Soon!

    That's more like the factory ZR2 should have been built like.

    High Mile ZR2

    I personally have had great luck with the BFG KO2's but I would rotate them at each oil change. Helps keep the tread even throughout the lifecycle. Doesn't matter the tire brand, the bigger the lug the more important frequent tire rotations are.

    Can the New BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 Top the KO2, an Off-Road Tire Legend?

    I used to run the KO's and then the KO2's. I think the KO2's were softer as I never got the same mileage out of those tires. Both were good all around tires but needed frequent tire rotation's or else they would get blocky/noisy.

    GMC Sierra 1500 Price Up More Than 21 Percent Since 2020

    I got the first allocation for a 2022 ZR2 from my local dealer and traded it in on a identical optioned 2023 ZR2 except for the rims (no cost difference). The MSRP increase in the 14 months was over 15%.

    Borla touring muffler hanging height

    I just went out and measured mine, the front edge of the muffler is 13.25" off the ground. The muffler itself hangs 2" below the frame rail.

    Sputter/ticking sound on cold start

    It sounds like the belt is chirping a little bit.

    BendPack 4 Post Lift Installed

    I've had a 8000lb two post lift at my dads place for 25 years which has been very handy. I'm going to upgrade it this year to a 10k unit. At my place I installed a four post Bendpak 9000lb hoist with hydraulic jacking beam around 5 years ago. Its great for working on the lower vehicles and...

    Bose Audio

    Totally disappointed. The stereo in my 22 ZR2 and now 23 ZR2 suck compared to my old 2019 AT4. I added the Kicker sub box and it did help.

    FUEL MILEAGE

    I've noticed last year on my 2022 ZR2 and this year on my 2023 ZR2 traveling to Florida for vacation that my fuel mileage was slightly better over 80mph compared to just below. Its a 1350 mile one way trip that I drive straight thru, using 93 fuel. Last year running 75-80mph got 15mpg and...

    Ceramic coating done and a few good pics

    I've used Armor Shield on four vehicles. The first one was my wife's Traverse in the fall of 2020. She just runs it through the touchless car wash and it still shines great. I haven't applied any enhancers either. I'm happy with the results but it is a timely process to do a nice job.

    Pre-detonation

    So all the mall crawlers should be okay.

    Cold air intake

    I have a Roto-fab CAI and have been happy with it. Can feel a difference especially when going out to pass/higher RPM, while it may be a little softer right off the line. I had this brand on my 2014 ZL1 Camaro and was very happy with it. It made 25 rwhp without a tune. I now have a CTSV wagon...
