I may have figured out how to get it. Kinda hard to explain, but basically it'll be a mount on the differential bolt that will drop down low enough to clear the actuator and have the correct geometry with the steering.

Cleaned up the pickup finally, used rubbing compound on the scratches some dog left on the pickup. Polished and sealed.

Update: 141,xxx miles   I painted the frame with semigloss POR-15 after wire wheeling it. Quite the job.   I also installed a RC steering stabilizer. It makes a noticeable difference on rutted p

Installed the Hella lights today. It doesn't look like it in the pic, but they are a more focused beam than the factory brights.

The reflection in the first pic is in my lens, not in the truck. :)

Had my first night drive with the extra lights tonight. I'm pretty impressed with them. They extended my range quite a ways, and I can see reflectors from even further away now. Closer to the truck with the brights and aux lights working together, it's lots brighter and far easier to see. I'm happy with wiring them up with the high beams, it's very convenient to have both sets come on with one flick.

I remember I had 4 KC daylighters long range on a light bar on my truck and would flick them on and felt like I could see more than half a mile. They were totally illegal for on road use and in my state you are only allowed a max of 4 lights on at a time up front. And then people would keep their highs on so I would flick em on real quick to give em a taste of what it feels like, good thing I never did it to a cop lol

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
