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.

Got the lights from the Chinese manufacturer for way cheaper. The guy is on instagram, I can link he's page if yall want to order. I took the light apart and used the part that ends flush as a template to make cardboard templates. Where the lights are mounted is the only open space. I taped the whole part where the light would sit so then I could trace the template with a marker. Drilled holes on each corner, then with a grinder and disk to cut metal I cut that sucker lol. With a dremel and some tip that I had laying around I grinder down so the light could fit perfect. Once the light was in and straight with a sharpie I marked the holes for the bolts to hold it in place. I already had lights like that but under the bumper. I took them off and used those wires to connect to this lights. On with reverse or at night if you click the unlock button on the remote. Is a really simple mod.

Went ahead and pulled off the chrome door molding and used some Plastidip to colormatch the mirror caps. Planning to clear coat them this coming weekend so they can stand up to the many bugs that shall hit them in the coming summer months

NICE! The mirrors look much more tame without all the damn chrome!

What was your process???

 

Looks great

Lots of time on a ladder hovered over the engine compartment. I remind the shop to wipe up any drips after fluid changes as well. I am sure I annoy them.

Put a Magnaflow muffler on my truck today. 3" in dual 2.5" out part number 12198. Debating if I want to put tips on it or leave it be. I think the V6 sound will take some getting use to.

Finally stopped raining and is great spring day. Just put on new EGR matte black flares, EGR bodyside molding,black handles, and caps. Glad I saved caps and handles from my ruby silverado. Took off all chrome molding, handles, and mirror caps. Also took off the chrome assist steps too. Tired of all the chrome. Going to put on black NFAB bars in the morning or sometime this week. Busy day and tired. Later will be possibly a 4 inch lift and some kind of bumper replacements.

Did you have to drill holes for the fender flares

Being in the middle makes my OCD a little happier. Mine was above the "Silverado" to the left and was going to leave it on there but took it off. Now I wish I did because I now work at that dealership lol.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
