will The Greg beat The General to see who will build an electric GMC first?
and is it me or are they contradicting themselves in terms of the arrivability date? GMC has given the first look at its upcoming all-electric Sierra Denali pickup truck (arriving early 2024), previewing the truck’s electrifying grille and exterior lighting sequence. The electric Sierra, which will launch in the popular Denali trim, will be the third all-electric vehicle in GMC’s portfolio after the GMC Hummer EV Pickup and GMC Hummer SUV (initial availability early 2023). |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I enjoy watching, the electric brake booster concept in general is very interesting.

and now lets do the weigh in

this was a surprise
the New Gate weighed in at 51.4 pounds |
Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
^ That's a good thing. I recall seeing where one can't sit on some aftermarket tailgates for fear of bending them. If that weight is from extra metal, that's even better.

yes I am boring you with all this powderizing detail because we are still waiting on the new master cylinder
|
Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Speaking of the master cylinder and I may have missed it but what is the red piece in the one line between it and the proportioning valve?

Master brake cylinders for cars with (rear) drum brakes have an internal residual valve. Master brake cylinders for cars with four discs don’t or one with less pressure. Therefore adding an inline 10 lb residual valve is recommended. It prevents the drum brake springs from retracting the brake shoes all the way back and thus reduces pedal travel and improves brake pedal response feel https://www.wilwood.com/MasterCylind...CylinderValves |
Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Ok, I thought so. I also thought those were only needed when the master cylinder is below the calipers/wheel cylinders to keep "residual" pressure on them so the brake pads/shoes didn't back off the rotors/drums too far. 2# for discs and 10# for drums. I could be wrong tho and someone else could chime in as well.
Cool and unique build - keep it up! |
