Over the weekend someone scuffed up my 2019 GMC Sierra Denali and took off. Unfortunately it's not the first time it's happened this year. In this video I will show you how I buff out scuffs and touch up paint.

2019 GMC Sierra Borla ProXS Muffler
The 2019-2022+ GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado 6.2L trucks are nearly silent. This is thanks to dual valves that block up way too much of the exhaust in an effort to muffle the V8 roar. I'm going to fix that with a Borla ProXS 40359 muffler. I'll cut off these ridiculous flapper valves (adaptive valves) and make it sound like a nice V8 again! Who wants a V8 with no rumble? Not me! Any reputable muffler shop should be able to help with this fix if you can't DIY it.
GMC Sierra Scratched Tail Light Fix!
A few weekends ago I scratched up my truck's tail light hauling tree branches. Today I show you how to fix scratches and scuffs on tail lights with minimal effort. A scuffed brake light is a lot easier to restore than foggy headlights due to the robust plastic that isn't scared of UV. With the right tools it's truly one of simplest DIY jobs for a detailing enthusiast!
2019 GMC Denali Oil Change (6.2L V8)
Today I'll show you how to change out the oil on my daily driven 2019 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate. This truck has the 6.2L V8 L87 engine. The process should be identical on the Silverado and other same generation trucks with this engine. Of course you should check out your service manual to make sure that is correct. You don't even really need to lift the truck if you can just fit under it.
2019 GMC Sierra Denali Radar Detector & Dash Cam Hardwire Mirror Tap
I need to get my radar detector and dash cam wired in to my new GMC Denali. I always like a hardwire solution. It's along the lines of buy once cry once, but more in time investment and future convenience of having it all integrated. I hate having wires running around my dashboard into cigarette lighters, it's just not cool.
2019 Denali Ultimate CQuartz UK 3.0
I purchased a brand new 2019 GMC Denali Ultimate and it's time to paint correct it and put on some ceramic protection! I also used CarPro Iron X to decontaminate it and topped the whole thing off with CarPro Reload. I'm loving the new truck so far and it's a huge upgrade form the F250 that had constant issues. The 6.0 did turn out to be a "power joke", lets hope the Denali proves to be a stable beast!
2007 F250 New Wheels, Speedo Correction & Seat Belt Chime Defeat
The old power joke is now officially known as "King Tut" and today it got a set of new shoes. I stopped by the shop and picked up a set of 2019 F250 wheels with Michelin AT/2 tires. This means they're now 1" over the original size and I need to re-write the "As-Built" data. I'm going to use Ford IDS dealer software to perform the reprogramming work to correct the speedometer.
6.0L Power Stroke Injector Replacement
The problems experienced by my 6.0L Power Joke super duty have escalated and it's time to perform the needed repairs. Before we get started we'll also check out Adam's Polishes Mystery Box and see what kind of goodies I got inside. Then back to the truck I diagnosed a bad #1 cylinder HEUI injector. I'll tear the valve cover off and the oil rail. You'll be able to see what it's like to service this six liter rube goldberg contraption.
Texas Hill Country Special
We take Dmitry's Garage on the road with my friend Sanjin and explore the Texas Hill Country. My buddy brought along his recently purchased Jeep and I took my F250. This wasn't much of an off-roading adventure, but really more a fun time exploring the county roads of Texas. We had a great AirBNB rental on a ranch.
Truck's Repaired! SCT LiveWire TS+ & Tow Mirrors
Today I got my truck back from PSP Diesel of Houston, TX. These guys did a full tune up of my truck repairing many broken things and making it (hopefully) more reliable. The shop was very professional and turned the job around quickly. We did everything down to the shocks. Can't say it was cheap and I hope the decision doesn't come back to bite me.
