Silverado Double Cab 4x4, All-star Edition w/ Bose stereo, heated bucket seats, and machined 18in aluminum wheels....with crappy Goodyear fuelmax tires. This was taken before we had almost 2 feet of snow up in Fairbanks, AK. I cant wait to put a Rough Country lift and bigger tires. I want to stay with the stock rims (budget reasons and they don't look too shabby imho) and I have the 3.08 rearend. What all would I have to do to correct the speedo? Take it back to the stealership? Oh by the way, I walked away with the 7 year/ 100k mile warranty for almost nothing and free, full-synthetic oil changes at any Lithia Chevy dealership for the life of the vehicle. BAM! Plus i got $3500 cash back and a $5000 trade-in on my '04 Envoy XL. She's gonna be purty.....

Katzkin leather seats

Hello Friend,

 

Love your ride. I'd like to get one just like it, but in Iridium. Either way, I was trying to figure out how you picked up the 'full featured' leather seats for your SLE, when I couldn't select it during the ordering process. I then Googled Katskin and was amazed to see that such a product even existed! So, thanks! I have to ask though, what is the quality like?

 

Thanks!

 

And congrats again on the nice ride!

 

Oh, before I forget... How did you get this for the 2014? On the Katskin website, I only see options for the 2013?

I got mine last week! 22" factory option wheels, tint, and clear bra so far…….plan to drop the rear if anyone can give me the best option. 2 inch rear? If so, best brand etc?

Those wheels are pretty close in the amount of win as the all chrome SEY 22's. I would go with that color and wheel combo also.

You mean these?

Finally got wheels and tires and 2" Rough Country leveling kit. I love that the rear is still 1" higher than the front.

I was hoping the red wheel inserts would match the GMC logos (and IP / center stack lighting) better. Maybe I will have the inserts repainted to a darker red metallic.

 

Also still waiting for the front license plate filler which should be here tomorrow. (And which GM should have automatically included with my truck for Arizona!)

2014 Silverado LT Z71 with the all star package... All stock as of now, but looking to add factory towing mirrors, spray-in bed liner, leveling kit, front window tint, exhaust.

 

I was curious about whether or not that leveling kit effects your ride quality by much and any other factors that play into getting it put on? Also, what size wheels are you running? (backspacing, rim-width, tire size)? For some reason, I feel the truck sits lower than I would like so I'm looking to get a leveling kit (2") and put larger tires on it.

 

I've noticed that the rearview camera quality is pretty poor, in the morning I can't see anything because of the low light / dew and during the day I have to take a second glance at it when backing up just to see what's on the screen. Unless someone finds a fix I'll be just using it to hook up the trailer I suppose.

After driving my fathers new Sierra, I had to trade in my 2012 lifted chevy Z71 on a new 2014 Sierra. So far I really like the truck. I actually went to buy black and after looking at the Iridium changed my mind. I immediately took the truck down to have the 2" level kit installed and then the stock 18's looked tiny, so I found a new set of 275/70/18 BFG A/T KO's - 10 ply that I had installed. Loved the look but my mileage suffered horribly, so after another 1500 miles I traded even for a set of 2013 Sierra 20's with 275/55/20's and my wife even said the tires still looked to small. Took it down to Discount Tire and had 275/60/20 Cooper HT's on and so far the mileage is still great and the look is more acceptable. I also was able to re use my OEM nerf bars off of my 2012 as well, had all the windows tinted as well as limo on the back sliding glass.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
