How do I get my pictures to load

With mine i have to email to my computer and open them with paint. Then resize them until theyre under the allowable size for uploading. Open a reply to this topic and there is an attach button where you can browse through your files. Hopefully this helps as it took me awhile to figure out.

Download the app Tapatalk. Then use it to view this forum and it uploads the pictures and resizes them also.

I definitely would have gotten a Tungsten truck had it come in the Custom trim level....got black (2nd favorite color) instead.

What's the real difference between Tungsten Metallic and Graphite??? My 2016 Regular Cab is Graphite. Look the same to me.

Do you have a full pic of your truck. I have tungsten and curious what full black rims look like on it. I still have the stock 18 cleared aluminum ones

Are you referencing paint chips? If so, I feel your pain. I love my truck and the color, but it amazes me how easily it chips.

Yeah.. it was awful on this side and it's now getting paint. Those 2 spots over the wheel wells are actually dents that somehow came from the inside. .. I can't explain that when it's all double wall there. The filler towards the fuel door was a rock that dented the panel and down to the steel... plus a bunch of chips. I had 3m all over that truck and even went up on the sides where it flares... guess I should just wrap the whole truck front to back. I have one more dent from the inside on the passenger side and a rock buckled the front fender on the passenger side. It's somewhat unbelievable the damage this stupid truck has with like 25000 miles. Don't drive gravel with big mudflap's, stock size BF KO2'S on oem rims I guess.. I dunno. And I only ran I winter... this thing never saw the mud and slop season... it would probably need a complete repaint if it did. The drivers boxside was a mess and was driving me nuts. There is a reason I don't run this truck for work and it has street tires on it now and never leaves pavement lol... oh well. I do like it but really... wtf already.

      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.
