Did you tint the lights yourself? If so what did you use? If not, who did you have do them?

Body shop at the the dealership I work at did them taped off reverse lights and sprayed black and clear coat 7 coats I believe still very visible at night.

Hauled this precious cargo home for the first time from the NICU after 40 days!   Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

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

Put in my new LMZ LED 5000K headlights. Damn this SOBs are bright! And I don't even have them properly adjusted yet (inside the projector I mean. I'm not talking about having a high cutoff line) so I think they will work a bit better once I do so. I highly recommend these to anyone who's looking to upgrade to some useful lights!

 

Don't have any pictures yet though. Will get some up soon.

Finally got around to installing LED back-up lights in my Sierra. They make a WORLD of difference (I can actually see things now! :-) ) but in the process, seem to have killed two of my brake bulbs. One still has the tail filament working, the other went from that to completely dead. Not sure what exactly caused this, but since 7444LL clear bulbs seem to be hard to come by, I need to swing by the dealer tomorrow (and ignore the "turn signal failure" messages when changing lanes). :nonod:

I went straight from a 98 Silverado to my '14 and seeing that pic just made me realize how much bigger the K2s are to the GMT-400s. I honestly don't notice the size difference while driving, but maybe that's because I've always had fill size Chevy trucks lol.

Ordered some fender flares. But I'm not sure I made the right choice on brand. Anybody have any experience with bushwhacker or rough country?

Well from what I seen, most trucks from factory get bushwacker, but I wouldn't pay that. I rather get the knock off brand Lund for half that price, they fit the same purpose and look the same.

Replaced a water pump in an 05 Trailblazer with a 4.2 I6 for a coworker after work. Wasn't too bad but nothing near the ease of a water pump for my LM7 5.3L. Made $75 as well [emoji106]

I put gas in the Sierra. Cheapest fill-up in a while since I didn't have to put 93 or diesel in it. :driving:

I'll probably get flamed for saying this but IMO, I wouldn't do bushwhacker or rough country. I personally think that they look more like an after thought rather than a quality OEM kind of looking part. I personally think that the flares from Southern Comfort Automotive are the best looking flares for these trucks. The flares look almost factory because of how they sit on the truck. Maybe its just me but my vote always goes to SCA flares for these trucks. I plan to get some for mine after I lift my truck so I don't destroy the paint on the sides.

 

I'm not saying that the SCA flares look like they are a factory option by any means, but I do think that they look like they had more thought put into the design to stand out and be bold and completely change the look of the truck

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      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.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

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