Interesting, huh...the rear is only dye from the factory, so I'm told, with little to no UV protection. This clear film filters out the harmful UV and keeps the heat out. I didn't want it any darker in the back, so there it is. It really makes a difference!

If you look at this sample board, the clear is above the 30 sample.3e0fa2a04efb361a048ecc6bf00afce6.jpg

I got Llumar ceramic tint all around. Brought the rear down to 15, front to 35 and put on their Air 80 tint on the entire front windshield. It's almost clear and mainly just blocks heat and UV as well. Stuff was pricey but worth it on this truck.

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.

We talked about the clear on the front too...its legal now in Texas. But we are going from two stickers to one (registration & inspection to just registration) this year. I may go back and have the front done afterward.

Well, if I get this http://www.ebay.ca/itm/HD-Night-Vision-Car-Rearview-Camera-Universal-Auto-Parking-Reverse-Backup-Camera-/281633335496?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4192a7a8c8

It is totally possible, but I am not sure how easy it is to hook up the video module, I would like someone to shine some light on this if anyone has done it

sucks it cost that much to interface a $10 camera into it. I have plans to wrap my center bezel, but I can't even find time to get my fastheadlight adapters or the replacement lights for my AMP steps installed lately.

I did clear on the windshield, but not the back. I had no clue it only blocked light and not UV. I guess I'll add it at some point.

Either that or buy a cheap $20 4.3 inch LCD as an eye sore lol

 

I am leaning towards the build in screen, this way, I can mirror my google maps to it too!

Took the OEM nerf bars off in preparation for nfab installation tomorrow. Kind of like the look but makes it a little hard to get in and out of the truck.

I just ordered some NFAB textured black steps today. I like the look without them too. I didn't like my factory steps because they seem to get in the way when getting out.

Nothing major. I took off the Z71 decals off the side of the bed and replaced them with the Z71 emblems that are on the door of the Custom Sport trucks. I like it because from a distance it looks like the factory decals so it doesn't look out of place. I think an emblem looks much better than a simple decal. I know some people like debadging but this is one of those things where I like replacing the decal with an emblem.

tried to diagnose a clicking, ticking, or rattle on the driver side window. coming from the black plastic. easy to press it and it stops. I just can't figure out how its on there to pull it off. I think some double sided tape will fix it.

 

Also, installed the driver assist handle.

You'll have to remove the door panel. Then you can remove the seal trim piece and add tape or whatever you want. then install the trim piece separately from the door panel, then the door panel.

 

here's a thread with a quick video I found that shows the key parts to it. It's not too bad at all to do.

I like the badging on the dash. I want to do something there. Not that big but something like the SLT badging I pulled off the rear.

      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.
