So Silveradox2 isn't accurate any more, I just bought a 2018 GMC 2500HD ALL TERRAIN Duramax on Labor Day to get all the discounts.  I wanted to get a 2018 Siverado 2500HD MIDNIGHT EDITION but they were all gone when I went to pull the trigger.

 

The photo is a stock photo.  I plan to change the wheels to black and put on Goodyear Duratracs after a long trip next week.  That will be cheaper than buying the All Terrain X.  And I didnt want the sport bar for trailering reasons.  I also plan to install a Banks Derringer after the trip before I get our first fifth wheel.  I'll post update photos as I dress this beast out.

 

Thanks to redwngr and all the forum members whose posts have been a big help to getting the right truck for us.

Walked in looking to trade my 2014 Silverado LTZ for a lightly used 2018 Denali they had, walked out with a brand new 2018 SLT 4x4 Z71! LOL Unfortunately whoever owned that beautiful Denali was a cigar smoker. No way I could get past that nasty smell! It about knocked me over when I opened the door.

Had the same thing happen to me a while back, lol.  I test drove it, rolled the windows down thinking it would subside.. took it home for an overnight test drive.  Tried a air freshener.. no dice.  Told them if they could get the smell out, I'd buy it (it was a smoking deal).. they tried, but it still smelled.  I walked away, and ended up getting an even better deal on another truck.

Went from an SUV to a proper truck. Should have bought one the first go.

if you get one of those car plug in car ozone generators, that is about the only thing I have known to actually work on something that has really permeated the leather/cloth materials...

    • 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?
