Here's my ride

1999 gmc sierra, have to keep up the gmt-800 post count!

5.3 3.73 gears 4l60e just an 'ol 1500 Z71

 

265/75/16 Bridgestone A/T Dueler Revo's

Mostly stock, and still good looking

I have some step bars, bed rails, and the previous owner installed some "garbage man" handles haha, They really are handy

Rancho rs9000 adjustable shocks, they ride really nice on the firmest setting

 

I really want to drill some holes in the roof and add the "HD" roof lights, the bar in the center and two smalls on the outside

And I have been wanting to blow some money on a lift when I need new tires, but that is a long way off

 

I have a sub, head unit, etc but nothing significant exterior-wise

 

Nice thread, love the dark red/burgundy reg cab, long bed HD posted a ways back, props to you!

I'm in....Only have had the truck 2 weeks, it's a 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE w/Z60 package. So far I have tinted the windows, put the K&N drop in, and got the spay in liner, I have a Magnaflow catback single out with 3 inch pipes and a 4 inch rolled tip coming in a couple of days. I am pretty excited about the exhaust, I will post some more pics when I get that installed. Next week I am getting a low profile black box to go on the back, but that will probably be all I do to it for a while, I am shock my accountant has allowed me to do so much to it this soon after buying it.

The weekend I brought it home

huh, never seen the z60 badging on the fenders before. All the time with z71, but not the 60. Looks just like my ride, only nicer and newer. Window tint and chrome handles will have to be added to my list next. Looks sharp on black.

Exhausts are the personality of the truck imo lol

 

I have a Flowmaster super 10 series single inlet dual out with dual rolled magnaflow tips 4" diameter 18" long

z60 is the high performance road suspension. There are a few threads on the forums about it. Not sure on the exact specs of the shocks, but it's supposed to be a little softer than the others. It is required if you want the stock 20 inch rims to come with the truck. I think it also reduces your payload rating a bit. Supposedly the truck rides a little lower too, but I can't tell at all. Guess I gotta put mine beside a z71 and compare.

    • The BORA 3/8" spacers arrived yesterday along with the extended lug nuts. I got the front wheels changed out today, but was overheated and covered in sweat so bad, I figured getting both front wheels done was a win, and took a cool shower. Hopefully, I'll go out tomorrow morning before it gets into the 80+ temps and do the backs. After getting the first wheel snugged up, I backed out one of the lug nuts then hand turned to count threads. I believe I stopped counting around 12-13, so I think I'm good there.    
    • My fullsize truck is averaging over 26mpg so I'm pretty happy with the increased fuel economy targets. When I had my gas Silverado (2020 5.3) it was averaging 21. Again, for a fullsize truck, that's very different from the 12-15 these things used to get 30 years ago.   Whine all you want, increased MPG is a good thing.
    • That is a fair point, and I think an OBD-first proof is probably the right next step. I agree that the value is not the hardware box by itself. The marketable part would be the software: always-on capture, baseline learning, event reduction, system-specific reports, and alerts. Also agreed that if an OBD device is always plugged in and has local storage, it should not miss the event in the same way that a scanner plugged in after the fact would. The only thing I would not want to assume yet is that an ELM327-class device gives all the late-GM data needed at the rate needed. Standard OBD live data, DTCs, freeze frame, Mode 6, VIN, and calibration information are definitely the right starting point. GDS2 also proves that a lot of useful ECM data can be viewed through the DLC without needing a DTC first. The question I need to test is whether the data needed for a useful GM V8 event report is actually available through the DLC, and at a useful sample rate: - misfire counts / roughness by cylinder - AFM/DFM state - oil pressure and oil temperature - fuel trims - voltage / reset context - U-codes and communication events - calibration / software information - whether these are standard PIDs, enhanced DIDs, Mode 6 data, GDS2-only data, or not available So I think the right benchmark is: 1. Build the OBD-only version first. 2. Keep it plugged in and logging locally. 3. Compare it against GDS2 / freeze frame / HP Tuners or another higher-end logger. 4. Measure which parameters are available and at what update rate. 5. Only justify ECM-side hardware if it captures useful evidence the OBD version cannot. So you may be right: the consumer product might simply be an always-plugged-in OBD event recorder with much better reporting. A question for you: when you say ELM327 devices can already deliver all the data needed, do you mean generic OBD Mode 01 data only, or GM enhanced data as well? For a useful GM V8 report, would generic OBD data be enough, or would you expect the tool to include enhanced items like misfire by cylinder, AFM/DFM state, oil pressure/oil temp, U-codes, and calibration information?
