I hooked mine up in factory location with a custom bracket and then fabbed in the HID kit I got for it

 

Sent from the side of the road...

Mine are driving, supposed to be about a 1000 foot beam with the stock bulb. I'll put them on top of the bumper so they'll reach a little further. Hoping to order my fogs as well soon so I can install both sets. Both will be HID eventually. I'm really impressed with the FF75's construction and kit. Wiring the relay straight to the high beams. :driving:

a set of 20" 2014 Denali take off wheels Got them a couple weeks ago for an early present

OEM Deluxe Chevrolet door sills. The plastic ones with Chevrolet in them. Not sure why my truck didn't come with these as it is a LTZ

Husky X-act Contour front floor liners. Found I actually like these better than the Weathertechs

Denali shift lever arm (ordered)

Kinda truck related. Coast HP-21 flashlight I can not believe how bright this thing is (1300 lumens). I got it on Amazon for right around $120.00 when it was on sale the other day.

I got a TBI rebuild kit and some much needed socks and boots. Spent 4 hours tinkering with the TBI tuesday just cause. It was great though because I didn't have to sit and 'spend time' with everyone, I just was like 'alright sweet ill be out in the garage!' and off I went lol.

Well, I bought my wife a $400 camera and she got me nothing. "I thought we weren't doing gifts this year"..... so, I hope she isn't surprised when the Big brown Truck shows up next week.. I can take care of myself lol

 

I would have been happy with a $20 B.S. gift from the end cap at walmart... at least the thought would be there.

If you like mountains and such, go to Mt. Charleston when you are in Vegas. Beautiful mountains!

If you like mountains and cool scenery also look at Red Rock Canyon 15 miles west of Vegas. Leaving Vegas today and spent a couple hours at red rock, definitely worth it

      This is exactly the reason our EV has consumed so much of my driving. I don't want to fire up a cold diesel or gas engine just to drive 2 miles up to the store. It's arguably terrible for an engine. If I'm not driving at least 10 miles and don't need to do truck things, the truck stays parked.   Enter the EV. It's immediately heating or cooling the cabin as needed (heat pump). An engine doesn't need to warm up or be driven gently. I can tear off in it with ZERO guilt. Move the car 1/4 mile from store to store and not think "gee, I'm short-cycling a lukewarm engine".   It doesn't idle in a drive-through. Doesn't idle at stop lights. (OK, neither would the diesel, if I let stop-start have its way, but I don't).   Even moving it out of the garage to wash it... HA! It doesn't need to be started just to move 40 feet. I have cars that I will actually put in neutral and push (no start) in/out of the garage or shop if they absolutely HAVE to be moved. My nice Camaros.

      Transmission temperature 10speed with 3.0 LZO Duramax

      I traced the atf cooling system in my 1500 and it comes out of the transmission, into the bar/plate liquid/liquid heat exchanger, as stated above.  Then it crosses over to the external thermostat/bypass and then  to the aux cooler in front of the main radiator.  Hence, on this routing, the PPE thermostat bypass eliminator is an $85 piece of bling that does nothing for reducing atf temps on this truck.  I think I'll temporarily clamp a needle nose vise grip on the coolant feed hose to the bar/plate cooler and see how much the atf temp drops.  With the use of ULV trans fluid, I'm not convinced running the trans cooler than OEM spec is going to be detrimental to the life of the transmission.    I found this interesting on the Dana/Long site stating that they make transmission cooling/heating bar plate heat exchangers.  I worked with Dana/Long on a few projects when I was at the gas powered fun factory. https://www.dana.co.jp/downloads/PTG/Long/Dana_TOC_SpecSht.pdf  Bar plate heat exchangers are just a stack of stamped parallel path fluid channels, assembled and vacuum furnace brazed to make the final assembly.  Want more cooling/heating, just stack more plates until you run out of package space.   Anyway, thanks for the info, much appreciated.

      I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool.
