Thanks. They are made by FN Wheels. They are the BFD model. They only weigh about 23 lbs each.

I've never heard of them. I love how they are Japanese inspired designs but built for trucks. Great find.

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.

Found an hour of free time yesterday and installed GM - Illuminated Door Sills. Love the way they look! Of course, made a how to video. The box didn't come with instructions and tried searching he

What are you guys using as Cell Phone mounts/holders? I've been keeping my phone in my center console cup holder (Crew Cab with NO Center Console) However when I'm using my phone as a GPS this really does not work well since my phone is not within my line of sight. I really don't like windshield mounts since they require my phone to be clipped in all the time.

I'm using the ProClips. They clip to the console and no holes to drill.

I've been searching for wheels for 6 months and couldn't find any I liked until I stumbled onto these. They are really popular with the Toyota guys due to the Japanese styling and light weight. Turns out Toyotas have the same bolt pattern as GMs. The owner of FN Wheels is super cool and was very helpful with the whole process. He even had a set of hubcentric rings made for my truck.

Done!

What you think?

 

Sure looks mean.

I hope it sticks well. I would be afraid of it chipping.

 

I would have to see the truck in person and let it sink in to decide if I wanted mine that blacked out.

But it looks very well done and looks really tough.

Used automotive paint. And everything will chip. The chrome it used to be was already chipped.

 

No offense. But I think it's funny when people say something is going to get chipped or damaged. I live in Wyoming where they put sand and rocks on the road In the winter. (Damages everything)

But it completely changed the whole look of the truck.

The is the occasional chip factory paint and chromed plastic can get.

And there is all the pain falling off like you see when someone spay paints a chrome bumper.

 

I have seen Camaro's and Firebird's where if you touch the rubber bumpers the paint falls off.

 

Everyone expects a rock to chip the paint. No one expects for a fly to knock a 6 inch chink of paint off.

 

I meant that kind of extreme chipping.

I never said it would chip, I said I hope it doesn't.

What did you use to black out the door pillar? Looks great!

 

Also could you post some more pics but from a bit more distance showing the whole truck? Interested to see how that glossy of an inbetween looks from further than just right up next to it

Funny, cause your truck made me want the black pillar on mine =)

I just got them off amazon///Just type in 2014 sierra black door pillar. Its super shiny , almost like dark tinted windows ...the fit will never be 100% perfect but it does change the look for sure.,...about $35..Ill snap more pics later and paste them back on this thread

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
