I was expecting some kind of Apple flag waving ceremony, followed by a flaming. :lol:

ha -- not me!! And yes I admit to earning the dinosaur description. The shaky OS upgrades have me standing firm with the factory OS setting. Which reall stinks because I'd love to post up my "Silver Bullet" SLT just so I can show her to you guys.

Have also noticed the moving driver seat, and bluetooth is always going silent when listening to music. Thd Bluetooth issue got worse with Apple iOS 8.1 update, which others have complained of on Apple's forums.

nice!! my favorite rims...wish I had 'em!! I have similar 6 spoked rims but mine are ground down to smooth and polished aluminum spokes. I much prefer yours because they have an edge and different surface textures.

Thanks, I must say GM does a great job designing a variety of rims that look great with their trucks.

One reason why I've stayed with the stock rims the last two trucks I had from them.

 

The Bluetooth drops when listening to music, especially changing albums or playlists.

Right now I am placing blame on Apple's iOS and not GMs software.

She stands out in a crowd. Had some ppl ask me about her when they saw me getting in. I snapped this while I was walking up.

Mike did you tint the windshield? What wheels? They look like black all terrains?

Yes I have 45% on the entire windshield plus a 5% visor. So with the 45% film I'm at around 31-32% VLT windshield. Easy to see out at night IMO and perfect for during the day. I will forever do 45% on my windshields.

 

They are the stock chrome rims (same thing as the A/T rims) but plastidipped black with Armor All Outlast Tire Glaze sprayed on it to give it a very nice shine.

I might go plasti dip grey to rid of the shiny chrome on my stock 14.

 

I just finished my tint. Went 15 front windows and 30 over the factory 20 in the back. It's dark but not quite as dark as I was hoping for. Though I should've gone black interior so it would be darker. As well as 10 in the front.

 

I think 45% on my windshield sounds good. Hell in already illegal might as well. I will have to get hids first. You ever get caught with 45% on the windshield or have no problems?

That was my thought process exactly! I have 35% over the rear factory 20 and two layers of 35% on the front. I originally did 35% all around but it was just too light upfront so I added another layer, much better now. I'm at 7% rear, 8.6% front, and 31-32% shield. There's barely any light let in during the day. And no I haven't had any issues and the cops around here are crazy. Plus I travel interstate a lot and see plenty of state troopers and none have said anything. But I also have a Pouisiana Sheriff Honorary member license plate in my windshield on the dash. So that could be a part of it. But doubt it as it's not extremely visible lol.

It was the only spot I could get when I arrived! I parked where no one should've been able to park behind me (my hitch extends another 13" past the bumper so usually no one wants to be behind me in the lot). I never park this close

I'm giving it some thought. My luck I would get caught. With my 15% over the factory 70% and 30% over the 20% in the back, I'm at 9% in the front and 6% in the rear with a 5% strip.

 

45% to 50% maybe even 70% on the front windshield would do wonders.

 

Putting two layers of tint on your front can you tell? I might put another layer of 70 on my front to bring it down more if you can't tell.

You're giving me ideas.

I hated the High Country wheels when I got the truck and regretted not having my wheels swapped onto it from my old truck, but they are growing on me now with the new tires on them. dace6c8ae0e4e3375a0c65765b801fe6.jpg

Mac your truck looks sweet! I'm really close to buying a new truck, and have decided to go back with another Chevy or GMC, your photos definitely helps my decision a bit more! What's your setup?

 

Cheers, it's a 14' Z71 LTZ. Rough Country 2.5 lift, Metal Mulisha Series 38 wheels 17x9 -6 offset. Tyres Cooper STT 295/70 17, Removed front air dam, Spray bed liner and just fitted the amp power steps ... they are awesome !

 

Maybe a Cat back from borla and then I'm done.

Or maybe not, I've been reading about suspension

    • This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.  
    • Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL? 
    • consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.
    • can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?
    • Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
