LT, 4x4, v8 in Blue Topaz. Originally looked for a z71, but I mostly just liked the grille and trim so I went with an LT. This is my first vehicle, loving it so far! Turned 500 km last night.

Congratulations on your first vehicle! You've certainly chosen a great one! I especially like the color. And hello from Ontario btw.

Went with flares painted. These are better pics. Before & after.

I always liked matte black flares, but I think they look better painted on your truck. Very nice.

Looks great, when you fill out those flares with some tires & wheels, it'll look awesome :)

Thanks. The painters at the dealership were happy they were the smooth ones too. They said they cant stand the bolt on ones because of the time it takes to remove each bolt from the flare.

New Cooper S/T Maxx LT265/70R17's to replace those shitty OE Continental 20's. Mounted on American Racing AR901's. The switch from P275/55R20's to E-rated LT265/70R17's really woke this truck up. Those P-metrics really over-accentuated the soft-sprung suspension on these trucks.

I find it strange that they would remove any bolts, the bolts and nuts come in a bag. I didn't put mine on until right before I installed them. Unless they also install them after paint, but I'm too cheap to pay people to do that.

My new 2014 Silverado LTZ crew cab, I need to add some nice nerf bars/running boards. Anyone have any suggestions?

Not sure where you're located, but I'll make you a killer deal on my factory steps. post-130935-141030752701_thumb.jpg

    • 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?
