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.

^Good looking truck. What's your set up?

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.

Staright on

 

45 degree angle with all LEDs on.

 

Turned off

Looks awesome. Links to what you needed please

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.

    • That is a good correction. I think “severity” was probably the wrong word for what I meant. What I really mean is closer to event priority, relevance, and actionability — not “this code is severe” or “replace this part.” I agree that a truck can have a lot of trivial or historical communication codes, and if the product starts pushing alerts for every stored or low-value event, people will ignore it very quickly. So the alert logic would need to be filtered. For example, I would not want a random old communication code to generate a push notification by itself. A useful alert would probably need to be based on things like: - new vs historical - active vs stored - repeated vs one-time - duration of the event - whether it happened near the driver-marked symptom - whether it happened together with voltage drop, reset, bus-off, misfire, oil-pressure change, etc. - whether the same pattern repeats under similar conditions So instead of saying “severity,” maybe the product should organize events by affected system and priority. For example: Misfire event: Show misfire counts / roughness first, then fuel trims, RPM/load, DFM/AFM state if available, coolant/oil temp, voltage, and related DTCs. Oil-pressure event: Show oil pressure first, but only in context — RPM, load, oil temperature, coolant temperature, DFM/AFM state if available, voltage, and baseline comparison. Communication event: Show which module/network/message dropped, whether voltage dropped, whether the recorder reset, whether it was active or historical, and whether it repeated. Voltage/reset event: Show battery voltage, crank/wake/sleep state, module reset, communication dropouts, and what came back online first. That also solves the display-order problem you mentioned. The main report should not always show the same fixed list first. It should show the system that appears abnormal first, and then the supporting values for that system. I also agree that the truck already has an oil pressure gauge and MIL. The point would not be to duplicate those. The value would be in showing what else was happening before and after the warning or symptom. For example, if the MIL comes on for a misfire, the truck already told the driver there is a problem. The useful part would be: - which cylinder or bank looked abnormal first - whether it happened after an AFM/DFM transition - whether fuel trims were already moving - whether oil pressure or voltage changed at the same time - whether the same pattern happened previously without a MIL On the OBD port point, I think you may be right for a consumer-facing version. OBD is much easier for the average owner: - easier install - easier removal - inside the cabin - easier phone connection - easier data download - easier to include a pass-through port for another scanner OBD is also the right place for DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration information, Mode 6, and normal scan-tool parameters. The reason I was looking at ECM-side recording is that some events may be gone by the time someone plugs in a scanner, and some powertrain-side network evidence may not be available the same way through the DLC. But I agree that if an OBD-based version can capture enough useful evidence for most owners, that is probably the cleaner consumer product. Maybe the split is: - OBD/DLC version for most consumers - ECM-side version only if it proves it adds evidence that the OBD version cannot get - shop/pro version if deeper powertrain-side event evidence is actually useful So I would not want to force the inline approach if the OBD workflow solves most of the real-world problem. Your last point is probably the key product requirement: the report should be specific to the system showing the abnormality. Not “here are 50 parameters.” More like: “Misfire-related event detected. Here are the misfire/fuel/DFM/context values.” or “Oil-pressure-related event detected. Here is oil pressure compared with RPM/load/temp/baseline.” or “Communication event detected. Here is what dropped, when, and whether voltage/reset happened first.” That is a much better way to think about the report.
    • It was all part of the tiny bit of fuel savings it goes towards what was mandated by the government. Much like cylinder deactivation. That was relaxed by the recent administration. All that doesn’t help the individual buyer. But as a whole helps the manufacturer to try to reach the previous ridiculous past mileage per gallon mandate. So yes it was mandated and added cost to the vehicle. 
    • You do realize that auto stop/start...was never mandated by the fed...right?     EPA Says It's 'Killing' Stop-Start, and Here's What Automakers Have to Say   "Start‑stop technology has never been federally mandated, and the EPA’s recent action removes regulatory incentives associated with it rather than prohibiting its use."
    • Anytime the government mandates something, you can bet on it being absolutely senseless.
    • just logged my best MPG for one leg this am - drove home from the Denver Airport, 45 min drive - all freeway, lots of traffic so speeds were limited and some stop and go, got 17.7 for the ~30 mile trip.
