I got the idea off when I owned a camaro some of the guys on the camaro forum did it. They said it lasted a while. I know one guy had his on for 2 years and it wasn't as bright as it was new but he just went over it again and looked the same as day 1. I never got the chance to try it on the camaro since I had cloth seats, didn't wanna risk it. But leather it's easy. Just go over the stitch 2-3 times, let it sit for a min or two then wipe with a damp rag to get the excess of the leather. Took me about 2 hours to do the whole truck.

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Airaid CAI and installed my Escort Blendmount (rear view mirror) and hardwired my Escort Live Cord. the Escort Live adds an app on your Smartphone that hooks you to toher users and now your alerts come across on your phone as well. Very cool! If anyone is interested send me a PM and I could probably take a video of how it works.

I thought about getting one of those years ago, but when I looked into you have a monthly fee and there was no way to tell if anyone else had them. Is there a way to see that there are other people in your area with them now?

I don't see other users but I see that alerts they have noted... in the last hour there have been nearly 50 reports ranging form actual police spotted/reported to radar encountered and even traffic cams placed. My area is Daytona Beach to Orlando. It seems to be pretty live and updating regularly and it does it automatically for radar/lidar detection.

 

The Live cord is $99 with 12 months of service included.

I haven't really noticed it... but now that you've said something I'm sure it will bother me... :) Seriously, it really isn't that much more than the regular trim and it really is a more firm feel than grabbing the steering wheel to get in the truck.

LOL sorry about that.. I just have been thinking about it, but I know the panel is huge itself and then I have a painted vent visor so was just curious to how much vision you lose with it.. I am already having to look around it so just wondering if it adds a lot of blockage or if its workable... I use the wheel to get in, but if the truck is running, well lets just say my wife had a good laugh when I wasnt paying attention lol

I like the way this detector clamps to the rear view mirror mount and I see it comes with a harness specific for the truck. What was involved in opening up the rear view to connect it? Do you think I could tap into the same harness they gave you to power my dash cam??? That would be pissa so I don't have to run wires down to a power port. Also how do you think that detector compares with the new wireless escort?

      NEW TRUCK

      By PUSSLEGUT · Posted

      I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John

      The Peckish Synapse

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.

      New Duramax rumor?

      New engines will still be using DEF. You just won't have the limp modes occurring when you run out of DEF now.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By bruceb58 · Posted

      I am not a NOCO fan for a charger I would leave on a battery 24/7. The reason is, it doesn't really float. It waits until the battery drops to a certain voltage and then charges it back up to 14V. It's better than no charger I guess.
