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.

    • 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...
