Ya Jeff, you can say that lol .. I got in a little over my head.. With the custom paint and having to get new sensors I was in over 6k for rims/tires. It was my first purchase.. Not thinking or checking the gear ratio and having 37" tires I then looked into it and having 3.08 gears would get killed within 6 months if not burn the transmission up sooner so I regeared which was around 4K including the Diablo tuner.. With that being said if you count everything done I have just over 20k invested

Non the less. thats a bad ride[emoji41]

I had mine lifted this past weekend and got new wheels/tires.

 

5" RC, Fuel Beast 20x10 -18 offset, Toyo Open Country AT Xtreme 305/55s, color match ICI Magnum steps.

I will be adding color matched fender flares next.

How do you like the steps? Enough space for your feet or do you feel they are to narrow or short? Need for the wife, kids and my gram. Plus I wouldn't mind not being a gymnast every time I get in mine

They were too low when I just had it leveled, but they are the perfect steps for a lifted truck. The step hang lower than all the running boards I've seen and lower than NFabs. If my truck was to stay stock height or leveled, I would consider something else. If your is lifted, then I doubt you could find a better step. VERY solid and very high quality.

 

There's plenty of space if you place your foot at an angle or straight on. Don't think I could fit my entire foot in the step if I was stepping in it sideways, which would feel weird anyway.

Hmm curious now that I look at the steps. I have a 3 inch level/ lift. They may be too low with just a 3 inch. Maybe the nfabs may be better for the height I have?...

I did the RC 2" level first and didn't like how low they were. It was more distance from the step to the floor of the truck than from the ground to the step. Felt weird doing a baby step first to the the step and then a taller step to the inside, if you know what I mean.

it was a beautiful Thursday night in Tampa. Cleaned my Camaro for Friday and weekend use, decided to clean up the Z71 as well. It was too good to not take a picture! 12670825_10101061155178656_4187014821908

Got a late build Z/71 2015 1/2 2500 HD, traded in a 14 1500 same color, half ton struggled pulling our TT, love that tungsten met. Only a few pics of it in my gallery hooked up to our 31' TT. will try & post recent pics. if it ever stops raining.

    • 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?
