Cheap handles for someone looking to color match. These are not mine, so use CL to contact

http://rochester.craigslist.org/pts/5565657277.html

Real cheap. So apparently I learned today that tungsten is the chevy name for iridium. I never knew that. It explains why I never see iridium that much.

 

Just want to thank you martha3065 for posting that craigslist post. I contacted the guy and bought the tungsten / iridium door handles for 50 bucks. I kept on seeing them around for 200+ dollars. So im pretty happy, i got the mirror caps as well. Can't wait to change them up.

Thanks for the compliments! The tires are Toyo M/T 33x12.5x18 and there is no rubbing at all. The wheels are Gear Alloy 726MB Big Block with 0 offset. It has a Readylift leveling kit on the front.

Man Im glad you replied, truck looks great. Will be getting Nitto Terra grapplers 35x12.5 next week with a 0 offset. Was worried they would stick out of the side too far. Do you have any issues off road with throwing rocks into the paint? Was going to get fender flares if it happens. Thanks

Love the color of this truck. Put the bars on and it keeps alot of nicks out of the lower part of the paint. Anyone put fender flares on? Have always had flat black flares but not sure how it would look against the paint.

So question to you guys. I just got some tungsten door handles and they are not exactly the same color as iridium. Is tungsten just a shade or two lighter than iridium? If that is the case, then how can they have the same color code of GXG?

Is this color identical to Iridium metallic?

Depends on which on you get. People say it is and I've seen 1 or two pieces match up. But the again I've seen and bought parts that or not. I have have a set of tungsten door handles that don't look like my iridium. It's a few shades lighter in color.

I remember googling it before, they both share the same color code.

I finally got it back last week. I bought the tires and rims a month ago and just had to wait until I was off work to get the lift done. I got a 6" procomp lift. Rockstar 2 rims with Nitto Grapplers, 35x12.5. I took the plastic parts and the star off the rims and painted them Tungsten metallic that I got made at a paint store. King of hard to see but in the sun it looks awesome.

    • 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?
