I have added Westin steps, Bull Bar and the Free light they sent me. Front 20% tint. Bought some chrome accent for the grill. Lemme know what you think about the grill. Lastly, added my Duratracs yesterday. Havnt got a chance to put many miles on them yet so can't say for sure if they are better.

Nice 2500hd, the step bars make it look good with that low hanging chassis that 3/4 tons have. Not crazy for the bullbar, though, just my opinion. :lol: And you gotta love that tint!!

Importkiller, I will. I actually put about 100 miles on them today and so far they ride excellent. Havnt had a chance to put them through any crazy as far as mud or snow yet so more to come on that. Aesthetically, however, they are a damn nice looking tire.

 

Ryan, I did lose the tow hooks. But just like my last bull bar on my 06 I just kept my tow hooks under the back seat and I usually carry around a tool kit of some sort. So if it ever came down to it its a quick swip swap and ill toss the bar in the back. Fortunately with my last truck I never really had a time where that was necessary but I suppose its still good to be prepared. Usually its me hooking up to other people and pulling them out of mess though :lol: (knock on wood of course)

I've been thinking my 2500 needs something for the grill area. Where did you get the chrome accents? Hard to install?

Got them off ebay. All they are is some chrome plastic strips with some double sided 3M adhesive tape. Pretty tough stuff so far. Chrome Accents there is the link for them. Just take off the tape and put them on. Some trimming may be required and your baddassery may be better than mine. I tried trimming mine and got a little overzealous. Still came out great and honestly you cant tell within like 5 feet of the front. Upon close thorough inspection though you can see where my trimming job sucked.

 

But if you blocked off the edges and left a little black gap between the GMC logo and the strip if may actually look pretty good. Atleast thats what I did. It looks nice as hell in person just all depends on the installer. I am a mechanic by trade so arts and crafts is not my strong suit.

:lol:

 

 

 

Lookin good, Jason!

 

 

:lol: You got that tire to wheel well ratio down to a science. If I hadnt blown so much money so far id be in the market for wheels and that front end kit you have. I am glad I went with 265's now though because when I got it fully turned I have maybe a half an inch of space to play with. I know now that there would be no way to fit 285's under there without leveling the front out. I just havnt got past those jitters of messing with the suspension yet. I am sure I will get around to it here in a while.

I have 285's and they only rub fully turned and not often at all, and that is stock suspension.

I love everything you have done to your truck including the grill. Never really cared for the murdered look or to much chrome. Seems like you have a nice balance there so our taste can't be far off. I am interested to hear about how the grill mod holds up to bugs, debris, and such. That's a nice quick mod I may add to my wish list.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.
