I think they differently compensate for GM not properly marking the sides of the truck.

Can never have too many lights, with all the morons that possess driver's licenses these days.

 

The law in MA would beg to differ, though. I had one inspector reject my Harley for having a Kuryakyn Panacea LED system. It incorporated the rear turn signals into red brake and running lights, then when the turn signals or hazards were activated, they'd change color to amber. When the brake was activated, the brake light and both turn signals would blink 5 times before staying on steady. I wasn't to crazy about that blinking, but the rest of the system was so great I just had to have it. Well, this dipsh** inspector failed me, claiming "The only vehicles that can have blinking lights are emergency vehicles". When I called b/s on that since these cannot be activated full-time, he threw out, " Well, these lenses are not stamped DOT - so they're not DOT approved." I had these lights on the bike for 3 years already - never had an issue, until I went to these jackasses. I ended up melting my tire out of that place, totally pissed. Went to another place and got a sticker in less than 3 minutes.

 

Basically if you live outside the Northeastern USA, your probably all set. This place just makes the law up as they go. Common sense would tell you, more, brighter, and blinking lights will lessen your chances of getting flattened by some yuppie in his 7-series beemer (while on a motorcycle) ... but common sense does not apply in Massachusetts. :banghead:

My buddy just sent me this - just threw this set on his Camaro. What a SWEET setup!! Open headers at the push of a key fob. :thumbs::lol: Oh I could have soooo much fun around MA with that!

I took my 13 on a bit of a trip yesterday long highway drive. Before the cold air I was avarageing 11.7 MPG combined I now avarage 13.9mpg and when I got to Wainwright Alberta I hand calculated my MPG out and I got 16.9 MPG at 110km/h witch I don't think is to bad considering I got 32s a small lift and battled a side wind and rain all the way. And now I find the truck is staying in 6th gear more often its not up and down up and down 5times a minute. If I wasn't selling the truck I'd get it dyno tuned but the text person can do that but wow what a difference I was kinda not wanting to sell it now its actually getting decnt MPG but its still for sale. But dam. I highly recommend a cold air intake if you got a very high flow exhaust like I got 2 3/4 inch dual straight pipes.

ZachM1 youtube conkyconky and you can listen to my exhaust system it sounds like a cammed Big Block.

Sounds good. After my current repairs and mods I'll be looking into intake and exhaust. Just not sure what route I'll go yet. As free flowing as possible with minimal noise.

 

Does it really matter where I sent this from?

    • Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.          
    • Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.  
    • I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
