Have not been very active on the forum lately, apologies. Truck has changed a bunch. Changed the way all my Rigid Industries lights are mounted, 40" moved behind the RaceMesh grille, custom powdercoated and recessed Duallys into the rear bumper. Rear bumper plastics were color matched like the rest of my plastics. My Roadwire leather was installed by Keystone Styling. Switched wheels to the new Anthem Off-Road Aviators. I'm on Instagram if you want to see more pics #tstehle07

That's a nice truck. Where did you get the recessed rear bumper LEDs? Is that custom seats?

Rear lights are flush mount Rigid Industries dually floods. I had the bezels powder coated 'chrome' to blend into the bumper. My interior is Roadwire leather, hot red!

pretty good deal I'd say. I was looking at them new in crew cab form and they were adding 15k to the MSRP.

Check out Laura GMC, they are located just outside of St. Louis and they put levels/lifts and tires on new trucks and with their discount its almost like buying a new stock truck.

My New 2015 LT Z71 All Star Edition. I would like to eventually switch to a chrome grill. Are the snap on ones any good?

Its good. Kind of a slang word for big wheels and slammed to the ground. You don't see truck like that very often, well actually here in Houston you see quite a few trucks slammed to the ground, but they are done super cheap and not done right like yours. Yours looks great!

Thank you very much. I typically get a lot of negative comments in forums, but everyone in here has been really nice. I'm sure their are those probably thinking "Why would he cut up that brand new truck?," but no one has been rude and I appreciate that.

The way i see it is, a good looking truck is a good looking truck.

 

I'm not a fan of the stretched tires, but some are. I love my truck and i'm sure they love theirs! That's all that matters!

Well in my experience, the people that like to bash on other peoples trucks are the guys that either aren't happy with what they have or just feel like since someone has something better than them, bashing makes them feel better. I personally am not a big fan of lowered trucks, just my opinion, but I can appreciate the time, work, and craftsmanship that goes into a build like this or any other build. I am a gearhead and been wrenching since I got my first toolbox at 13 years old. I love wrenching on my truck and making it my own. I could care less what anyone else thinks about it.

    • 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?
