Wasn't today...Truck is in the body shop...some guy in a Rav-4 plowed thru a red light hit head to head with a 2wd Tacoma, and both smashed into me while I was sitting at a red light...needless to say, truck is a work in progress and I'll be back to square one!

That sucks man. Any injuries? You have any engine damage?

Busted up my hand hitting the steering wheel--almost ripped my pinky off, but otherwise I'm good. Both other drivers left in ambulances. No engine damage yet that I know of--shop is still disassembling and getting quotes.

Sounds like a close call man. Good luck

First post here, just picked up a 2017 Silverado 1500 Double Cab LT Z71.

 

I traded in my 2005 Toyota 4Runner Sport, which was lifted 3" with quite a few other mods. The 4Runner treated me well and went wherever I needed it to go, but was getting up there in miles (225k).

I don't have any pics yet, but I just purchased a 2017 Silverado 1500 LT Z71 double cab in graphite metallic. couldn't resist the November tag sale. $11,000 off msrp, plus another $1500 off for my gm rewards card. Adding leer cap, side steps, window deflectors, bed rug, and winch. So far, im loving it.

Another new guy and first GM truck owner. Chevy was dealing with leftover 2016's and Ford was not so now I'm here. I like very much 2016 double cab LTZ. It's only me and Mom now, kids are grown and gone so this is our "car." GM OEM tri-fold tonneau, dealer added spray-in bedliner, plus GM OEM vent shades added since this photo after a full detail.

Not new to GM, change in and out of vehicles like underwear on the daily. So I jumped out of my Esky and decided entrance by ladder was what I wanted to do. 16 Sierra 1500 SLT, 6.2L, 8 spd, full SCA treatment. After all the incentives the buy was a no brainer - practically giving the 16's away.

    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • 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?
