4.43!? Surprised it isn't a race truck.

Lol, I'd hope he wouldn't have any trouble moving those 35's with that gear set.

 

Most likely he has the 3.08's or 3.23 rear end.

haha i figured, one thing i cant stand is the kick down to v4, ive got a range AFM on the way to get rid of that annoying feature. Makes the exhaust have a horrid *in my opinion* helicopter sound, plus the lag in acceleration.

 

But i know one thing, going from a 2013 honda civic si sedan, to this is total night and day difference, ive got to get used to riding so high, hell the truck stock felt high to me. But i love it wouldnt trade it for anything at this point., waiting to see how bad my mpg is, havent got but 330 miles on the truck, but its looking about 13-14 city, and 16 or 18 hwy, does this sound about right for my setup? with the 3.43s sitting so low in the RPM range at 60. (roughly 1250 rpm)

That's about what I get. I'll be quite honest. AFM is damn near useless. It might work on a light Vette but to keep these size trucks moving if you hit a 5 degree incline it turns off. And he v8 is efficient enough to get 18-19 mpg on flat land. But I mean AFM maybe nets 1-2 mpg difference assuming your on flat land. I'm seriously considering taking it off.

 

I'm getting 12.8 avg right now city over the past two weeks.

New to the site..never posted anything here before.

But, here's my 2014 GMC Sierra SLE Texas Edition that I bought last August.

First and foremost, I got the windows tinted within days, as it was like sitting under a magnifying glass in this Texas heat.

Can't really see in the picture, but I've got a tri-fold Bestop (I think?) tonneau cover. I originally purchased it for my 2007 NBS Silverado, but kept the cover when I traded it in. Turns out it fit the new Sierra almost perfectly.

Lastly, I installed a 2.5" RC level kit last weekend. Haven't noticed any difference in the ride, but I can definitely tell it doesn't look like it nose-dives like it used to.

 

Thinking about removing the air dam, just because the look bugs me, and I really want to add some Amp Power Steps as the lady complains about having to crawl up into the truck, but I don't personally like the look of running boards, nerf bars, etc. Now I just have to convince myself to spend $1300-$1500 on them......

 

 

 

 

Oh well, as the bumper sticker says " Wife and Dog Missing. Reward for Dog!"

Welcome to the forum.

Great looking truck!

 

What brand and % tint did you go with?

 

I feel the same way about the running boards!

Hello from Canada

Long time lurker, have never posted. Just bought a '15 Gmc Sierra Sle, crew cab, short box 4wd, cloth buckets, Kodiak pkg, factory spray in liner, 5.3, 6 speed, 3:42, trailer pkg.

Anyone out there with the 6 way passenger power seat, are you able to raise/lower, tilt front, tilt back, power recline and power lumbar, and move forward/backward?

Mine just goes forward/backward, power recline and power lumbar, is this normal?

Thanks in advance.

Rick

No Fords allowed! Gotta love it! :lol::thumbs:

If you zoom in close on that Ram all the way to the back, you'll see a pair of legs under the back doors. Wonder why he's hiding? :lol: Edited by Ventilator

All that's left is the chrome Chevy emblem on the grille, then I'm calling it quits until some more LED tailights come out.

 

did you have to trim the lug nuts to fit the 1.75" and 1.5" spacers?

    • Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.   
    • I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future. 
    • Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it. 
    • Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me. 
    • $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
