Might be painted as Well

Sorry when i said that i had not scrolled up to see your original post. I think everyone gets it now

Yes really, I was asking if he actually spent the money and had it properly painted or if he cheaper out and pull on a coat of peel off paint… Plastidip is not a proper paint job, it's an I can't commit to my decision paint job…

If he actually painted it and committed, then I'm impressed. But, if it's plastidip, then it's

 

Who in their right mind would rattle can paint their entire brand new truck?

I love it and that's the problem with posting on forums. Someone will hate and tell you what they'd do. Id almost guarantee that someone soon will TELL you to remove the air dam lol. If I could afford to repaint mine I'd match it to my harley. Flat black and black pearl. Good job bro, post pics when it's all done. I'd like to see it. Edited by boricua2480

Will do, I love these trucks and Never seen backlash like that before

Your truck looks great! :thumbs: It's what boricua2480 said. Negativity on forums is very common and it becomes contagious. Hope you're enjoying your new truck... I know I am. And I'm with you: I love these trucks! :cheers:

Are you running a level? No rubbing?

 

Looks great. Do you have any side pics?

Pretty sure that 's just a wrap

 

 

I bet he works at a graphic decal place or something similar. Matte paint on a vehicle as big as a truck would be wayy up there in $$$$. And I've seen some plasti-dip cars but the finish is never as good as a wrap. Looking at the sheen on the guys truck and the quality of the finish I'd bet is a wrap. My guess is that if it would of been painted the bumpers would of been taken care of the same time. Would of been odd to spend all that time, prep work and money to just paint pumpers some other time.

Did you miss the SEVERAL posts where the owner of the truck said it was paint?

    • 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?
