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?

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
