2014 Sierra P0172 and P0175
Ricks Munn replied to aspat19's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Troubleshooting
Hey guys, just wanted to say that I have the same issue with my 2014 silverado as well. I have not yet taken it to a dealership, but I managed to find this video on the internet that I thought was pretty interesting. Unfortunately I do not have a fancy enough scan tool to be able to view all of the PIDs that this guy monitors, but I think this is the problem my truck is having. Basically the truck thinks that it is running fuel that has a really high percentage of alcohol in it (like 35% or so) even though it is standard fuel. The fuel composition sensor needs to be reset and in some cases there is an ECM update that is supposed to correct the problem. Hope this helps you guys. The video is a little on the long side, but very informative. Here's the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hb4ct0mIV8g -
People with 33 inch tires?
Ricks Munn replied to Timgilardi92's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
Honestly, the change in gas mileage was pretty noticeable. With stock tires i was getting incredible mileage for a truck, almost always in the 20s, but now I'm lucky to get 16. Some people don't really care about that or claim it doesn't make a difference, but it did on my truck and it was rather sad. But, I do love the look of the truck now. If I had money and time, a gear swap could probably help out a bit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Foglights On With High Beams
Ricks Munn replied to Spurshot's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
Just did the 10-18 jump to run my fogs with my highs and I also did the 26brown to 26pink jump to tie my cargo lights into my reverse lights so they come on when in reverse or when the vehicle is unlocked with the key fob. Probably shouldn't have bought 100 diodes though. -

Yeah there were wires plugged into the back of the bezel even though I don't heated seats. -
2014+ Truck Bed / Tonneau Covers
Ricks Munn replied to Green 1364's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
I purchased and installed the Tyger Auto Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover from Amazon and it has worked great so far. It was WAY cheaper than any of the other tonneau covers mentioned in this forum. I only paid $230 for the 6.5ft cover. The 5.8ft cover is only $197.65. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars. It was extremely easy to install and I didn't have to drill into the truck bed or make any kind of modification. I have loved it so far. It has been completely waterproof and stays tight even when driving really fast in strong wind storms. It also seems to hold the weigh of snow really well without collapsing. -

When I posted pictures from my laptop I had to resize my pictures in Preview(Mac program) until the were smaller than 1MB. However, when I upload pictures from my phone using Tapatalk it will bring up an error message but then it gives me the option to upload it a different way and that has worked without problems.

Removing silver plastic trim around air vents
Ricks Munn replied to Ricks Munn's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
I would suggest it. I really like mine. I would also suggest doing the orange piping around the outside like the first pictures I posted. It's super cheap off eBay. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I found some camo vinyl sticker sheets on Amazon for $10. I just used a hair dryer to warm up the sticker so it could be molded around the curves without creasing. The camo stickers were square though so I had to cut out the shape by hand. To make it fit the bezel. It would be much better to hydrodip the bezel in camo. It would be more expensive but it would probably look better and be more durable. And also be less of a hassle to apply. But I'm cheap so I used the $10 Amazon option. Here's a picture before the orange piping was installed. Also if you look close you'll notice that the camo pattern is tipped on its side instead of vertical like it's supposed to be. I guess I want paying attention. -

I have 275/70R18 wrangler duratracks on my truck with no issues. I have a Rancho QuickLIFT level though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Cargo Light Shutoff Bypass
Ricks Munn replied to tjd2003's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
I have this exact question as well. I used to be able to use my cargo lights on my 01 while driving and be able to check and see if my dirt bike or other gear was still held down tight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Yes they are. Ok thanks. I'll have to give it a shot and see what I can do. I just didn't want to snap them in half on accident. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Hey guys, does anybody know how to remove the silver plastic trim that fits around the driver and passenger air vents. I removed the silver trim around the radio very easily so I could camo it, but the side vent ones seem much harder to remove. I tried popping them off, but I felt like I was going to break them, so I stopped. Has anyone removed them successfully? If so, any suggestions? I uploaded a picture of the plastic around the radio and what I did to it.
