  1. Guys, I can still get my hands on a new 2003-04 style OE SSS brake duct for the left side, but it would take me a several days. New in OE box. $155 shipped. I can also get the 2003-04 style right hand duct, but the price goes up... Prob to $180 shipped.
  2. Sorry this happened to ya... A simple $1.00 worm-style hose clamp can make all the difference. Just add it to the passenger side trunion/hinge. It will have to then me removed 1st before the tailgate can be lifted off from the truck. Time is everything to a PUNK-A$S thief. Oh, and to answer your question, Chevy/GMC tailgates are ALL the same. Just different nameplates & that top spoiler change out...
  3. Saw this on another forum I'm on. Looks like a very cool 1st father/son project: http://americanspeedster.com/
  4. Great point. LOL!! I just saw nobody was responding- I had to say something!! LOL!!!
  5. GM dealer can still get the "SS's"
  6. Directions to Heaven Your smile for the day.... A little boy was waiting for his mother to come out of the grocery store. As he waited, he was approached by a man who asked, "Son, can you tell me where the Post Office is?" The little boy replied, "Sure! Just go straight down this street a coupla blocks and turn to your right." The man thanked the boy kindly and said, "I'm the new pastor in town. I'd like for you to come to church on Sunday...I'll show you how to get to Heaven." The little boy replied with a chuckle. "You're bull$hitting me, right? You don't even know the way to the Post Office!”
  7. I would stick to the 2009-2013 year GMC Denali truck's. The rear back-up camera option & MP3 plug factory radio's popped out that year. Also, I think all of the 2007.5 + Denali's came with the new 6-spd auto???
  8. (This happened to an Englishman in France who was totally drunk) A French policeman stops a car and asks the gentleman if he has been drinking. With great difficulty, the Englishman admits that he has been drinking all day, that his daughter got married in the morning to a French man, and that he drank champagne and a few bottles of wine at the reception and a quite few glasses of single malt thereafter. Quite upset, the policeman proceeds to alcotest (breath test) him and asks the Englishman if he knows under French Law why he is going to be arrested. The Englishman answers with humor: "No sir, I do not! But while we're asking questions, do you know that this is a British car and my wife is driving... on the other side"!!
  9. The Truckin article says these are Ford Super Duty door handles guys... Like the 2010 HD hood mod. I'd seen it on another truck not too long ago...
  10. Try a can of Sea Foam trans conditioner, a new filter, & top of with new GM's new Merc VI fluid. Might buy you some time before the "upcoming rebuild".
  11. GM PN# 15178666. List is $103.87 & Wholesale $77.90!!
  12. Basically the same problem here in N.Central Texas. Stage 5 drought restrictions. The city had to make up the rules for "Stage 5". Stage 4 was as far as we had ever had to go here before. Rumors are they are working out "Stage 6 now". Our lakes are under 25% capacity....
  13. Two old men decided they are close to their last days and decide to have a last night on the town. After a few drinks, they end up at the local brothel. The madam takes one look at the two old geezers and whispers to her manager: "Go up to the first two bedrooms and put an inflated doll in each bed. These two are so old and drunk I'm not wasting two of my girls on them. They won't know the difference." The manager does as he is told and the two old men go up stairs and take care of their business. As they are walking home the first man says,, "You know , I think my girl was dead ! " "Dead?' says his friend, Why do you say that?" Well she never moved or made a sound all the time I was loving her." His friend says, "Could be worse, I think mine was a witch." "A witch? why the hell would you say that?" Well, I was making love to her kissing her on the neck and I gave her a little bite, then she farted and flew out of the window... She took my teeth with her!"
  14. I'm feeling a bit lonely at the moment and so I decided life would be more fun if I had a pet. So, I went to the pet shop and told the owner that I wanted to buy an unusual pet. After some discussion, I finally bought a Centipede which came in a little white box to use for his house. I took the box back home, found a good location for it, and then decided I would start off by taking my new pet to the pub to have a drink. So, I asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go down the Queen's Head with me and have a beer?" But there was no answer. This bothered me a bit, but I waited a few minutes and then asked him again, "How about going to the pub for a drink?" But again, there was no answer from my new friend and pet. So, I waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation. I decided to ask him one more time; this time putting my face up against the centipede's house and shouting... "Hey, in there! Would you like to go to the Queen's Head and have a drink with me?" A little voice came out of the box:............................................ "I heard you the first time! I'm putting my F***ING shoes on."
  15. I came across this phrase yesterday "FENDER SKIRTS". These things look foolish now--but I have to admit, we thought them the "Cat's Meow" back then!!! A term I haven't heard in a long time & thinking about "fender skirts" started me thinking about other words that quietly disappear from our language with hardly a notice like "curb feelers", "steering knobs." (AKA) suicide knob. Since I'd been thinking of cars, my mind naturallywent that direction first. Any kids will probably have to find some elderly person over 50 to explain some of these terms to you. Remember "Continental kits?" They were rear bumper extenders and spare tire covers that were supposed to make any car as cool as a Lincoln Continental. When did we quit calling them "emergency brakes?" At some point "parking brake" became the proper term. But I miss the hint of drama that went with "emergency brake." I'm sad, too, that almost all the old folks are gone who would call the accelerator the "foot feed." Didn't you ever wait at the street for your daddy to come home, so you could ride the "running board" up to the house? Here's a phrase I heard all the time in my youth but never anymore- "store-bought." Of course, just about everything is store-bought these days. But once it was bragging material to have a store-bought dress or a store-bought bag of candy. "Coast to coast" is a phrase that once held all sorts of excitement & now means almost nothing. Now we take the term "world wide" for granted this floors me. On a smaller scale, "wall-to-wall" was once a magical term in our homes. In the '50s, everyone covered his or her hardwood floors with, wow, wall-to-wall carpeting! Today, everyone replaces their wall-to-wall carpeting with hardwood floors. Go figure. When's the last time you heard the quaint phrase "in a family way?" It's hard to imagine that the word "pregnant" was once considered a little too graphic, a little too clinical for use in polite company So we had all that talk about stork visits and "being in a family way" or simply"expecting." Apparently "brassiere" is a word no longer in usage. I said it the other day and my daughter cracked up. I guess it's just "bra" now "Unmentionables" probably wouldn't be understood at all. I always loved going to the "picture show," but I considered "movie" an affectation. Most of these words go back to the '50s, but here's a pure-'60s word I came across the other day - "rat fink". Ooh, what a nasty put-down! Here's a word I miss- "percolator." That was just a fun word to say. And what was it replaced with? "Coffee maker." How dull. Mr. Coffee, I blame you for this. I miss those made-up marketing words that were meant to sound so modern & now sound so retro. Words like "DynaFlow" and "Electrolux." Introducing the 1963 Admiral TV, now with "SpectraVision!" Food for thought- Was there a telethon that wiped out lumbago? Nobody complains of that anymore. Maybe that's what castor oil cured, because I never hear mothers threatening kids with castor oil anymore. Some words aren't gone, but are efinitely on the endangered list. The one that grieves me most is "supper". Now everybody says "dinner." Save a great word. Invite someone to supper & discuss those fender skirts...
  16. Make sure that you understand the question first.... All you Grandpas and Grandmas, this was too funny not to forward. We are all reaching that stage where we need to keep the wax out of our ears and keep the hearing aids tuned up. An 8-year-old boy went to his grandfather, who was working in the yard and asked him, "Grampa, what is a couple sex?" The grandfather was surprised that he would ask such a question, but decided that if he's old enough to know to ask the question then he's old enough to get a straight answer. Steeling himself to leave nothing out, he proceeded to tell him all about human reproduction and the joys and responsibilities that go along with it. When he finished explaining, the little boy was looking at him with his mouth hanging open, eyes wide in amazement!!!! Seeing the look on his face, the grandfather asked him, "Why did you ask this question, son?" The little boy replied, "Well, Grandma says to tell you that dinner will be ready in just a couple secs..."
  17. A golfer hits his ball into a yard next to the golf course. As he goes to get it a man in the yard says, "Don't you see the sign? It says, 'Private property - Stay Out!'" The golfer says, "I'm sorry I did not see it. That is my ball there. May I have it, please?" The man says, "It's in my yard and so it's my ball now." The golfer looks at the man and says, "I understand." He then walks back to the golf cart, gets another golf ball, then walks back and throws it into the yard. The man says, "What is that for?" The golfer replies, "I consider myself a gentleman, and I believe every di@k should have two balls."
  18. Cool. Does it come with a lifetime supply of "SMOKES" too?? LOL!!!
  19. I have one of these rare GM Acc'y rear deflector shield kits for sale if anyone on here is interested. These were designed by GM to keep water, dirt, & road debrie out & away from the rear disc brake rotors. So they are only designed to fit the 2003-2004 SSS trucks, 2004 GMC & Chevy VHO's, shows to fit all the NBS 1999-2004 GM fullsize 1/2 trucks, and I'd imagine the 2005-2007 "Classic" rear disc brake Vortec Max trucks too... Here's a link on Ebay to show some pics of this kit out of the box: http://www.ebay.com/...#ht_1458wt_1091 And here is an older link on this site where I was talking about them: http://www.silverado...f-these-before/ It is GM PN# 15765007. This kit is brand new in an unopened GM box too!! GM List is $99.14 + tax, but, I'll sell for $60.00 + shipping, which is right a GM dealer cost!! PayPal accepted.... I'm in N.TX.
  20. Looks good to me. I'd check it out....
  21. Yes, it's GM code "41U" & the WA# is "8555".
  22. I couldn’t help but over-hear two guys in their mid-twenties while sitting at a bar. One of the guys says to his buddy, "Man you look tired." His buddy says, "Dude I'm exhausted. My girlfriend and I have sex all the time. I just don't know what to do..." A fellow about my age (60), sitting a couple of stools down had also overheard the conversation. He looked over at the two young men and with the wisdom of years says, "Marry her!! That'll put a stop to that crap!"
  23. Dating in 1958: You need to be able to remember the era to really enjoy this.... It was a hot Saturday evening in the summer of 1958 and Fred had a date with Peggy Sue. He arrived at her house and rang the bell. "Oh, come on in!" Peggy Sue's mother said as she welcomed Fred in. "So, what are you and Peggy planning to do tonight?" she asked. "Oh, probably catch a movie, and then maybe grab a bite to eat at the malt shop, maybe take a walk on the beach..." "Peggy likes to screw, you know," Mom informed him. "Uh...really?" Fred replied, with raised eyebrows. "Is that so?" "Yes," said the mother. "As a matter of fact, she'd screw all night if we let her!" "Well, thanks for the tip," Fred said as he began thinking about alternate plans for the evening. "Have fun, kids," the mother said as they left. Half an hour later, a completely disheveled Peggy Sue burst into the house and slammed the front door behind her. "The TWIST, Mom!" she angrily yelled at her mother. "THE DAMN DANCE IS CALLED THE TWIST!!!" ​
