I put 5% on all four, and two layers of 5% on the rearwindow.

Can you even see out of the back window during the day? I'm not even gonna question night time as it must become a black wall

Yeah you can see pretty well out the back, it is definately dark. At night, forget about it; you can see headlights and that is about it.

 

I am used to it though and had a solid cap on my last duramax so I was used to the back window being useless anyways.

I just set up an appointment to get my windshield tinted this Saturday at 10. Going to get 45% film put on. SO theoretically it should bring the windshield down to 31.5%, HOWEVER the shop tells me that despite the factory smoke being a 70% tint that the windshield should only go down to about 40% even with the 45% film going on 70% glass. Is this true or is the shop incorrect?

No [emoji20] had a small crack in the windshield so they didn't want to tint it just yet. They said to come back after I got the windshield repaired cause they didn't want to make the crack run while tinting the shield. So I got them to tint my front windows darker. So now I have 2 layers of 35% film on the fronts and it looks so slick. Almost perfectly matches the back which have 35% over the factory 20% window.

 

I'm gonna get my windshield repaired this week and go back on Friday to get it tinted and my subs installed[emoji4]

 

Oh and I gave decided to go ahead and put darker than 45% on the shield. Imma go with 35%. I figured if I'm already illegal, why not go with 35%! It's not hard to see out at night

Is staying more legal looking the only thing that kept you from going so dark?

 

I just found a shop that will repair my shield this week. Gonna go Wednesday. $45 to repair 2 chips. I found a second one that's not spider in yet but want to fill before it gets a chance.

5% all around and on the eyebrow. Last truck was tinted 20% when I got it, but the new one I did my normal black out on.

Door window is 2 layers of 35% ceramic film

Visor is 5%

Windshield is 45%

Rear (not shown) has 35% over stock 20%

 

 

It's a great set up IMO

 

I've never done window tint before and I'm sure glad I did it on this truck! And it looks so much better from the outside with such dark windows

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
