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.

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

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
