Thanks! Will likely go pick one up this week so I can get my phone out of that bin infront of the infotainment center

Added reverse flood lights. I normally like lights... And lots of them, but I think this might be overkill, even for me haha

 

I might change my mind and replace with others.

Today? After getting sick of coins slidng around (and occasionally out of) the center seat console when flipped up, I added one of those spring-loaded coin holder assemblies that used to be in a variety of 90s Buicks/Oldsmobiles. Used 3M Dual-Lok strips to mount to the back wall of the center console compartment. Works like a charm -- even if it's a minor mod compared to what the truck received last week (Line-X, Roll-X, etc).

I added some new tires:

BFG All Terrain KO2's
285/65-18 on stock rims

 

I got 5 and another stock rim, going to rotate in the spare.

So far they're real nice:

I'm considering the same tires in the same size. I'd be curious to know how you like them after a few more miles. Did they balance out OK?

So far I installed a Diamondplated tool box, tinted the front windows with a windshield strip, weather tech floor mats, installed a 10" JL sub with a custom box under the rear seat, a JL 250 watt amp, 2" leveling kit, 20x9 Moto Metal 961's with an 18+ offset, 33x12.50x20 Toyo Open Country M/T's, a super chips programmer, and I plasti dipped my bow tie's black.

Installed the Chevy grill cover to help warm up the truck faster in the lovely winter weather conditions of Chicago.

So far only 250km on them. I haven't noticed any vibrations so I guess the balance is good. Road noise is the same as stock IMO. At the tire shop they did tell me that these larger types of tires are harder to balance and that they would do it again for free if I noticed any problems. So far I've noticed the truck rides a lot smoother than stock when going over bumps. I'm running 36psi.

 

Update - I've added pics to my uoiginal post

stock height? can you toss up a pic?

im trying to go as big as possible without modding suspension and im slightly disappointed that my buddies f150 fits 35's with just a 2" level

I have a 1.5" levelling kit, but it appears that these would fit just fine without it. Pics coming, weather is crap haha.

cool thanks, im about to pull the trigger on some new rims and tires (was going to get them today but have to help some girl pick out a new car) but im trying to max out what fits without issues.

i kinda want to lift it but would rather not, i like the rake because when i put my bikes in the back i dont want to ride nose up.

That's why I went with 1.5 level. The back still sits about 1/2" high, which looks level at a glance. Add about 600lbs to the bed, aka camping gear or ATV and it levels perfectly.

    • I hope to high heaven this is wrong. My Chevy farm trucks frame is lasting way longer than a newer Nissan Titan XD I got for a steal, and it only pulls trailers. A decade younger and it's frame is already way rustier than the waxed Chevy I drive across longs and ditches. Also, hasn't Ford been having tones of troubles with rusted frames? 
    • Batteries don’t always show signs of a few years ago my vehicle started fine in the morning and took me to work. After work the battery was completely dead and I needed a jump. No, I didn’t leave anything on and the battery was only a couple months old. It was replaced under warranty. 
    • AFM is confirmed in the Corvette engine, so I'm assuming the higher volume trucks will get it as well
    • If his battery was that bad I would think it would have been showing signs before this that were ignored. Stinks that it happened the way it did in rush hour traffic, but this seems like a pretty fringe scenario. I don't mind it that bad and never turn it off. The only slight annoyance for me is the slight delay between brake to gas, but I have gotten used to it and figure if it can save a little gas why not.
    • That is a good correction. I think “severity” was probably the wrong word for what I meant. What I really mean is closer to event priority, relevance, and actionability — not “this code is severe” or “replace this part.” I agree that a truck can have a lot of trivial or historical communication codes, and if the product starts pushing alerts for every stored or low-value event, people will ignore it very quickly. So the alert logic would need to be filtered. For example, I would not want a random old communication code to generate a push notification by itself. A useful alert would probably need to be based on things like: - new vs historical - active vs stored - repeated vs one-time - duration of the event - whether it happened near the driver-marked symptom - whether it happened together with voltage drop, reset, bus-off, misfire, oil-pressure change, etc. - whether the same pattern repeats under similar conditions So instead of saying “severity,” maybe the product should organize events by affected system and priority. For example: Misfire event: Show misfire counts / roughness first, then fuel trims, RPM/load, DFM/AFM state if available, coolant/oil temp, voltage, and related DTCs. Oil-pressure event: Show oil pressure first, but only in context — RPM, load, oil temperature, coolant temperature, DFM/AFM state if available, voltage, and baseline comparison. Communication event: Show which module/network/message dropped, whether voltage dropped, whether the recorder reset, whether it was active or historical, and whether it repeated. Voltage/reset event: Show battery voltage, crank/wake/sleep state, module reset, communication dropouts, and what came back online first. That also solves the display-order problem you mentioned. The main report should not always show the same fixed list first. It should show the system that appears abnormal first, and then the supporting values for that system. I also agree that the truck already has an oil pressure gauge and MIL. The point would not be to duplicate those. The value would be in showing what else was happening before and after the warning or symptom. For example, if the MIL comes on for a misfire, the truck already told the driver there is a problem. The useful part would be: - which cylinder or bank looked abnormal first - whether it happened after an AFM/DFM transition - whether fuel trims were already moving - whether oil pressure or voltage changed at the same time - whether the same pattern happened previously without a MIL On the OBD port point, I think you may be right for a consumer-facing version. OBD is much easier for the average owner: - easier install - easier removal - inside the cabin - easier phone connection - easier data download - easier to include a pass-through port for another scanner OBD is also the right place for DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration information, Mode 6, and normal scan-tool parameters. The reason I was looking at ECM-side recording is that some events may be gone by the time someone plugs in a scanner, and some powertrain-side network evidence may not be available the same way through the DLC. But I agree that if an OBD-based version can capture enough useful evidence for most owners, that is probably the cleaner consumer product. Maybe the split is: - OBD/DLC version for most consumers - ECM-side version only if it proves it adds evidence that the OBD version cannot get - shop/pro version if deeper powertrain-side event evidence is actually useful So I would not want to force the inline approach if the OBD workflow solves most of the real-world problem. Your last point is probably the key product requirement: the report should be specific to the system showing the abnormality. Not “here are 50 parameters.” More like: “Misfire-related event detected. Here are the misfire/fuel/DFM/context values.” or “Oil-pressure-related event detected. Here is oil pressure compared with RPM/load/temp/baseline.” or “Communication event detected. Here is what dropped, when, and whether voltage/reset happened first.” That is a much better way to think about the report.
