your comment is valid if i were to use a soap like Dawn or cheap over the counter car wash liquid that's not pH neutral.

 

Adam's car shampoo is pH neutral and completely safe to use in direct sunlight. it washes away without any problems when it dries. i also use softened water on my initial rinse and RO water on my final rinse; i have a water line in my garage tied into the home water softener and RO tank because the tap water here is terrible. never had a problem with spotting or degradation of sealant/wax on the finish. i do pull into the garage to towel dry though. direct sunlight is unavoidable here except at night, and i'm not one to wake up early or stay up late to do a wash :thumbs:

Silverado LTZ with 6.2 and 3.73 rear end. BDS 4 inch lift with 295/60/20 Toyo open country AT2 Extreme's on Fuel Maverick wheels. Still rides great and has no rubbing issues and no trimming.

rotten tomato, do you have any pictures down the side? Does that kit require a spacer in back to match front track width or does the front not get pushed out?

 

Good lookin truck!

New here, this is my 2014 Silverado LT

20140612_103439_zpsf554e8ce.jpg

20140612_144158_zps78391173.jpgIt's a 4x4 with the 5.3 and 3.42 gears, exactly what I wanted. The 2" RC levelling kit is on it's way and just working on which tires and size I want to go with…

And now...... back to the OEM wheels (with low profile tires of course). The big wheels rode like crap to me so I went back with the stockers and small enough rubber so I don't have any more clearance issues. I'll do something to the wheels soo enough to make them a little different but for now I'm just enjoying the plush ride.

What size wheels and tires did you pull off?

Those stockers look real nice.....plush ride is super important especially on a pricey truck....

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • 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?
