Experimented with an "extra" bumper I came across, plastidipped the plastics to get a feel for the look..and well now I'm stuck trying to make it happen for real because I love the look!

Did you pull the plastic off to dip it? Or dip it on the truck? If you pulled it off how difficult was it? I can't imagine it being too difficult but I am curious. I am planning to take mine off soon so I can spray mine with some Rustoleum truck bed liner to give it a bit better grip.

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.

It looks good but I am not sure if I want to take off my shoes to get into the truck all the time. How do you think it will hold up?

I found a post on you tube on the 2014 sierra dome light. The wires are under the drivers side windshield post.or the grab handle. it's the bigger grey wire. I haven't looked yet on mine but that's where it was said to be. I'm going to use a 12 volt tester and poke the wire to see if it works as it should. It will be the weekend till I get to mine. I'm planning on installing lights on my doors inside under the handles on the door panel so it will light up the interior and when I open the doors it will light up the steps. I'm going to route the wires with the other wires thru the rubber sleeve that carries the other door wires.Now if I can only figure out how to get the panel off .

Mudmutt how is the airaid? Difference in noise? Responsiveness?

Take off feels a little smoother. MPGs maybe between .5 to 1 ... Under the hood looks much better than the stock unit. You can definitely hear it when you get on it. I am still running stock exhaust ... After market duals would sure help but not sure if I am ready for the v4 drone that comes with them.

 

Not a bad upgrade for 2 bills.

Just got my truck back after having 1.5" body lift installed, I think it looks good. Just a little extra so I can squeeze some more rubber under there instead of these 285/55/20's. And I can still park in my parking garage. I'd post a pic but it won't let me for some reason.

Please figure it out and post.

Its been long over due of what ive done so far: got my windows and windshield tinted, added a gibson exhaust, added floor lights, added lights to the center console that come one at night, swapped out headlights for projector lights and HID, plastidipped bowties and side emblems, rough country 2.5" lift, swapped stock tires for 275/77R18 exo grapplers, plastidipped rims (need to be redone after getting my tires)

Guys, anyone put led replacement bulbs in? Got a plethora of LED bulbs laying around and I'm gonna throw them in the stock heads and tails until my OEM projectors get back from FAST. The reason I ask is because I'm wondering how they look under the amber portions of the headlights and red taillights...any one got some pictures for me? I figure they'll be noticeably brighter but how much brighter can they be??

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.

      Will not stay in Reverse

      By TheGeek · Posted

      I have a LTZ and it has the shifter in the console, which I like, but, every now and then, it will not stay in Reverse. I go through all the motions, hold the button in, push the shifter forward and watch the dash.  The big red R comes on and also the back up camera.  Then, it just pops out of Reverse with the shifter all the way forward.  So then the game begins.  Back and to Drive, Reverse.  This goes on 8 - 10 times. Very frustrating. Had it back to the dealer and they replaced some kind of computer, but it is now happing again. It is so bad, my wife will not drive the truck, she is afraid of being stuck somewhere.    Anyone else with this PIA problem?
