Damn it man. You just added something to my list... I like how that all looks! I plan to get tow mirrors this summer and am considering adding some amber clearance/running lights in my grille. But how, and where. Hmmm.

The Grille LEDs were fairly easy, as for the mirror LEDs, that was a bit time consuming as I was being careful not to break the plastic tabs removing the door panel partially. Though, in your case you will have to remove completely to swap out the mirrors for the towing ones, as the wire connectors are further down below the door panel.

Looks good, so minimal. Are you using them for show, or did you tap into the turn signal to use them there too?

For now, they are as running light/clearance. I have to buy/make the diodes and resistors wiring and figure out which is the signal wire to tap into.

Here's the latest thing I've done to my black CC Silverado. Added amber LED clearance lights to the OEM mirrors. I know the photos are too dark, I will take some photos during the day/evening.

Did u replace your grill or is that Plasti dip on the chrome grill?

285's (I guess they're actually called TOYO A/T Open Country Extreme)

If you don't mind would you get a measurement from the ground to the bottom of the wheel well

Here Is mine, this is from our desert trip

That's a cool shot Sermed, pretty much brochure quality.

I want all the scoop on your truck! IMO, one of the best Sierra's i have seen. Good job!

 

Mcgaughy's 7-9" Black SS lift

35x12.50 Mickey MTZ's

20x9 rockstar II's on a -12 offset

I used a dremel on the headlights, painted all chrome, tinted the LED lens and reassembled

Smoked the tail lights

Completely de-badged

Removed the stock muffler and the stock tailpipe but left it dumped at the factory resonator

Color matched my mirror covers, painted all the chrome trim on the windows and grille. Used primer then bed liner, makes it look like the rest of the plastic and holds up well.

Swapped out the chrome door handles for black ones.

6000k HID headlights

6000k LED fog lights.

Diablo tuned, waiting for a few bolt on's before getting Lew to tune it.

 

I live in Michigan, and don't drive it during the winter months.

Hoping to have a few things done by spring...

Long tubes, with or without cats... haven't decided yet

Borla XR1 muffler

4.10 gears as soon as I can find a 9.76" ring gear for the rear.

Detroit Truetrac front and rear.

3200 stall converter

Want to cam it, but probably going to have to wait until next year.

 

I'm sure there are a few things i'm forgetting, but that's all for the most part.

    • So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.
    • My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.
    • Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?
    • I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions. 
    • I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
