What did you do to your car recently?

Not my car, but a truck that belongs to a friends son, 2019 Silverado. 8 speed trans and feels like you are on rumble strips going down the highway, fucking GM. Drained the trans, couldn't get the pan off, another f-up from GM. Got most of the fluid out. Put 8 quarts in it, not that they give you a spot to fill it, and left a trans cooler line off to try and get a lot of the old fluid out. Put another 7 quarts in there and repeated the process, fluid looked very clean by now. Topped it off, put all the shit back together, and took it for a ride. No more shudder. That was $300 in Amsoil trans fluid!

Why remove the bed for a flatbed? Rust?

No, original 8ft. bed is actually in very good shape, I'm keeping it.
Kind of a farmboy thing, the flatbed, all his buddies do it also. Plus this truck will pull our gooseneck tandem dual tire equipment trailer, and sons gooseneck cow trailer. Had a hitch in the pickup bed, always pulled the the trailers with it, was it's main job, but I guess it looks cooler doing it with a flat bed. :rolleyes:
Old truck is badass. 5.9 Cummins, 4wd, and a 5 speed manual, naturally. Was 24k new in 93.
