It looks tough and almost military like with those Rockstars. Really changes the whole truck.

 

EDIT: Oh yeah... that wasn't a cut. It looks good!

Put some black metal bars in the bed, some sort of cage looking camper shell in black iron, and that'd be a scary lookin' truck! If the bars were rectangular-ish, instead of round, that'd be even better. It would match the wheels perfectly.

I've never been a fan of those wheels... The truck would look good with the lower valance off, though.

 

The second i seen this wheels I knew that I wouldnt be happy with anything else, so we are on opposite ends of the spectrum there. I've been thinking about pulling the front valance off, I might take it off and see if I like it better.

I wish I could picture what you are trying to describe I have an idea but not sure if its right. You talking like a big ass cage or just right off the bed like bed rails?

More of a cage... just maybe not so "big ass" :thumbs:

 

Something that aligned with the height of the top of the cab, maybe. I dunno, it just sort of came to me when I looked at the truck. Something to make it look like a rugged desert military vehicle, but in black and gray.

Sort of like this, but not really... the roof rack is up to you. Instead of round, if the bars were rectangularish, it would set it off even better. I didn't envision a roof rack, but you never know, it might look good. I was just thinking of something custom-like on the bed, something that could feasibly be mounted into the 4 corner cargo slots.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?

      I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually recalibrate the speedometer it just changes the wheel speed sensor inputs to the computer. The truck still thinks it has stock tires.

      I apologize, I missed this post, at risk of going off CURRENT TOPIC.   I'm not saying it is BS, I'm questioning how much information is being held back. GM is NOT going to spell out exactly every parameter in the algorithm. Liability, intellectual property, etc.    I'm not naive enough to believe that it is as simple as revolutions, coolant temperature, miles, time; are you?    I don't do irrational either, and boiling the OLM down to four simple values that I could code in an afternoon (I'm not a coder) is irrational - unless it suits your agenda to ignore it.

      Chris 21 I appreciate your constructive response. !!  😉😉😉   The 6.6 is gas.  Correct me if I’m wrong but by recalibrating the speedo you’re correcting the shift points of the transmission on these trucks.?.

      That is a huge misconception.     Bigger does not always equal safer.  Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions.   Think of this.  Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc.   37s and a lift?  Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control.  You've raised your center of gravity higher.  Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear.  Does it look cooler?  Yes.  Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road?  NO.       As for my mention of exceptions?  Say you had a sedan or crossover.  They typically come with all season tires.  If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle.  That is an actually improving modification.  My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size.  It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
