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!"

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?

    • 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?
