Not sure what I am doing with the wheels just yet...

Have the front bumper and chome headlight pieces getting vinyl wrapped on the 15th of this month. Would LOVE to find someone by me (Nazareth PA) to remove the Amber lenses from the headlights!!! I bought a cheap headlight set off Ebay last week. Although they LOOKED amazing...they were crap! Kinda really bummed about it... they were all clear and tinted... I was all ready to go to the Truck nationals next month and enter my truck. Have always wanted to enter a truck show since I got my first truck in 2001!

 

How much was it to wrap the rear bumper, and then the front and headlights?

$200 to wrap the back bumper.. but he had a HELL of a time getting it off. (his first 2014)

He says no more than $400 for the front end cause he is not sure what it will take to get the bumper off... WELL My husband and I took off the headlight pieces today since I have had the front end taken apart for the grill and lights anyways.... and we are going to tackle the bumper this weekend. (I work from home.. and do not need to drive the truck daily) That should help a lot with the price.. so who knows. I also got him a $200 tint job that I will mention for a referal discount! lol

I took my bumpers off and they werent that hard, the front comes off with about 6 bolts I beleive if I remember right. Also just to mention, I paid $300 cash to have my front and rear bumpers professionally painted.

That's what I thought too. We will take off the front this weekend. I was really working on the grill and lights this past week and havne't looked at the bumper yet. My paint shop did not suggest painting a chrome bumper so I am having them wrapped..

Ya they chip pretty easy, but so do the factory painted bumpers, I plan on getting a clear bra.

Wanted to get a shot with the sun out and the truck in front of this view, but there was too much traffic when we were coming in to stop on the 2 lane bridge. And it wasnt possible on the way out ... maybe next time

Yeah if you ever come this way its worth a visit if you have to pass through Bozeman. Thats just the lake, there's also a few hiking trails that lead up to waterfalls off the mountain. Oh campgrounds and bike trails as well, people hold weddings out there too.

 

If you get out this way, might as well visit Yellowstone while youre at it

Me and the family are moving to Colorado sometime or another. We're getting our ducks in a row before the move. We'll be a lot closer so that should be a pretty easy drive from there.

    • 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?
