Used and abused last weekend. Best time I have ever had wheeling.

Got a new 2017 Sierra 1500 this past week. Wanted to share what it looks like with this forum since I read a ton of things on here before buying. Thank you all for the good information.

 

It's got the 6.2L with trailering package, and just about everything else I could add. No chrome wheels though, much preferred the look without them.

 

Other than stock, I had the dealer install the driver-side entry assist handle. Then aftermarket - I took off the stock running boards and added Amp Research Powersteps. I also removed the front air dam. Lastly I added the Bak Revolver X2 cover.

 

I was going to move the antenna under the hood as I've seen discussed here, but coming from a shorter vehicle in to my first parking garage was a bit terrifying. I'll leave it on there as a height gauge for the time being.

 

I've loved driving it the first few days. It's exactly what I was looking for.

Wow great looking truck! I have the same year and color. Only thing is I haven't found the right wheels for the tungsten color. I must say those methods contrast great with your truck. Do you mind sharing more pics of your truck all washed up and clean? Thanks

Thanks! I really love the tune Lew made. Its shifts better, more responsive, all around better performance. From observations at this point I'm getting a couple more miles to the gallon too. I really love this truck.

What's your mpg?

Sorry for the bad pic will get a better one soon. Traded in my 12 wrangler and picked this up today 2017 SLT Premium with All terrain package, Dark Slate Metallic. Im loving this truck so far. Ordered and RC 2 inch level in kit and 20x10 fuel wheels with 33 inch Ridge Grapplers. Lets see if I have to trim anything, i sure hope not

That looks great, I love the grill. Are those inserts?

Yes. They snap on.

How you like the borla touring I'm between that one and the s type I don't want it to loud but I want to hear it when I step on it

I love it. When I step on the throttle its like music to my ears, its loud enough so that I get that wonderful engine tone but not so loud that my wife will still ride in it (plus I don't step on it when she rides with me but even then its certainly noticeable during acceleration but she tolerates it). If your looking for "not too loud" as I was, I would wager this would fit the bill. It really sounds great!

Around town its right around 14, I haven't done enough highway driving to give a good average.

I HIGHLY recommend the S-type. That's what I have on my 5.3. The S-type has a unique tone to it, very different from the flowmaster or magnaflow. The S-Type believe it or not is not very loud, but just the right amount. The cabin noise is very minimal and very comfortable. Trust me when I say you won't regret the S-Type

    • 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?
