Hopefully this version is less distorted.

Good looking rig!

 

Like others have said, those wheels look great, but I read you comment about wanting to have it more off road suited.

 

I bounced around from 20s, to 18s, back to 20s.  Both ride great off road/on gravel.  

 

Paint/wrapped to match grill and headlight surrounds make a world of difference.  I have a 2014 LTZ but white, and the the chrome always bothered me.  Painted the grill surround and headlight surrounds 2 years ago and they've held up great.  Got the color matched mirror caps as well.  Going to wrap the front and back bumper when I get time to do it.

Wow, that truck is clean. Are those OE projectors? I think the paint match looks much cleaner with those housings than it does with the reflector housings. I'm going to play with photoshop a bit and see how murdered out I go. I'd love to just "tint" the chrome, but I have concerns about durability v. cost.

Thanks, bud!  Yea, it is all factory housing/assy.  They're kind of black, if that makes sense.  I like the look and the white surrounds really made it pop more IMO.  

 

Murdered out will look good, but I really like the chrome grill inserts on black trucks.  I think if you stay with chrome wheels, that grill will look good with the surround and head light surrounds black.  As well as your chevy emblem on the front.  

 

I had planned on getting a black grill insert, color matching the bumpers, and running black Fuel wheels.. but felt like the storm trooper look is getting to be outdated.  Once I had my chrome wheels back on, I really liked the pop of the grill insert.  Now, if I can find the time to get the bumpers done, I think I will stop messing with it, lol.

I like the chrome LTZ insert, but I think mine is a little much, and personally am a fan of the OG bowtie. I'll post some mock ups below.

pixlr.com. I won't lie, black is the easiest. Used a paint tool set to ~70% opacity to keep a little of the reflection. I've tried white, and it comes out a little funky

Hey Gang - new here.

 

I have a 2015 Silverado 2500HD LTZ Duramax.  Great daily driver and tow vehicle.

 

6" lift / 35's on 20's / AMP power steps / AirLift wireless system for bags in rear / black leather - 55k miles so far.  Love it.

I like 4 also. I’d be worried about rock chips on the bumper with the others. All look pretty sharp though.

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • 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?
