Too bad GM decided to only offer these color match options on standard colors. Even the 15s have an option for color matches bumpers as long as you want a standard color or Id be all over the grille and bumpers!

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.

Crafferty,

 

Any tips on removing those rear pieces...I tried but they did not seem to give way...I was afraid of breaking them.

The center console is super easy, you just open the hatch then lift from the back and it just pops out. After that there is 6 or 8 screws that hold the electrical at the front of the console to the console. The front doors you start at the bottom and pry up to release the clips, then you slide the piece down and out. The rear doors you start at the angled side and then work them out. I sucked at the rear doors and broke a couple clips, but they still hold just fine.

I wish that was an option for the bumpers in the 14's, no I just have to find someone to paint mine.. Not sure if painting or powder coating is the way to go.

I Someone else on here had theres powder coated cheap and its a stronger finish than paint IMO. If I could get a brownstone powder coat, thats what I'd do

I say powder coat also, but paint would hold up better than factory paint so I wouldn't look for color match bumpers. I want mine black but I want to look into black chrome so I get both black and still have a chrome look to it like my black chrome exhaust tips.

I would go with with paint and have them spray a couple extra layers of clear.

Weather finally got nice enough to get out and take some good pics. Last weekend me and a buddy put on the AT grille. Got the inspiration from ventilator and his grille swap. Really love this grille.

Crf450r420, are your VLED fogs oriented up and down or left to right? I oriented mine to left and right and I found no problem with them shooting too high so far. I have 2.25inch level too

I have mine up and down. I can't remember the details, but I did try side to side. Plus I have square fog lights in my Silverado, not the round ones in the GMC.

Picked up my newly dipped carbon fiber interior trim. Yeah it looks like freaking checkers! Pissed off right now.

This is why I'm wrapping mine with carbon fiber vinyl. It has texture to make it look much more like the real thing.

you should try left to right. That is the first direction I have tried, I have also carefully measured the offset from stock halogen bulb. The beam pattern is way better than I have expected!

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yes.   Yes.   We might be intermingling ideas with the term 'severity', in one of my past vehicles it could pull up DTC via the vehicles own user interface, at any given time when one would do this there would be an assortment of codes that were 'trivial' including 'communication' issues. This would generate a bunch of, potentially false alerts or some many that they would get ignored. Which you mentioned earlier.    You also mention several things that might be redundant with the vehicles own systems or indicators: The truck has an oil pressure gauge, monitoring it via this other system wouldn't be a priority except in comparison to other values or if there is an actual oil pressure problem.   Same thing for miss-fires or other problems, the MIL already signals the operator to an issue...   ...to the point about what one wants to see first, if there is a miss fire detected, I want to see miss fire counts or fuel trims first, if I have an oil pressure problem I want to see the oil pressure first. So, perhaps the 'systems' that are showing abnormalities are what gets displayed first.   I think your device is what connects at the OBD port, ease of use for the consumer, it could still have a 'pass-through' port for a second scanner, computer, etc.   Yes.   Based on my comment above, if an error appears, the report would be more specific to the system having an error.

      Slate Electric Truck

      By RyanbabZ71 · Posted

      I like the idea.  I thought about putting a deposit a few years ago when they first dropped.  I still want to drive one and have inquired about doing this with them, like a ride and drive event they said they are coming but it hasnt happened even with them built in Indiana.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      That's a tough spot to be in, I personally would question spending 1/2 the book value on a repair vs. selling it as-is.    Presuming you own it out right, sell it for 10k and have a down payment for a replacement truck, or spend 10k on the one you already have...   I still think there is a cheaper transmission out there via recyclers, aftermarket or rebuild. (Cheaper than 5k for the unit)

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Sadly, there's a drought of good 92-95 4.3 cars at junkyards in the area otherwise I would have gone fishing for parts. Not that they don't come up, there's just nothing good in the yards right now.   I tore into the intake yesterday evening, easier than I thought, and I might have this problem licked for cheap. Two of the intake studs came up with the bolt on removal, no big deal but that's why it looks funny with studs only on one side.   There's pooled gas on both sides of the plenum. Highlights boxed in green. Picture-right side has an obviously split pressure line from rubbing on the #5 injector nylon line. #5's line is worn in that spot but not all the way through. Passenger side intake (picture left), not sure, but I think the pressure regulator is hosed. Rebuilt spiders don't come with the pressure and return hoses so I'll need to replace those no matter what. A pressure regulator is $30 so I'll try that and if I end up having to swap the whole spider, it was $30. I'll be grinning ear to ear if that's all I need.   Parts arrive Tuesday.   Sure enough the shop was here before. That's a new gasket. Vacuum lines and wiring are a tangled mess, I sorted that out last night as well. Spent about an hour just picking up general slack and shoddy reassembly around the engine bay. Cheek-pokered the battery tray, got it all cleaned up. Sometimes things just need a little elbow grease and a few minutes of time to be right again.
