How do you like the titanium?

. The fit and finish are great, the rolling up factor is awesome, no noise on the highway. It has not rained yet so I can't really speak to the water seal but with the flaps on each end I think it will do great. The only thing I don't care for is that you have to unlatch the cover to close the gate, the gate doesn't seem to want to close with the cover latched, I think it's due to the rubber weather stripping needing to be on top of the gate to seal and it being so low profile.

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

Just recently installed Smartphone Mirroring in my new 2015 Silverado, basically it was for NAV and In-Motion Video at first but the WOW factor is still sinking in with all the possibilities of your phone.

How much and more details of it all. I'm doing this my car with JVC head unit now. Don't use the traffic enough to pay for it monthly and it is already on our phones, plus it is better.

Yea same here, with the truck cost already...lol...and having a smartphone with way better always updating free apps, not much of a decision after using my family's LTZ GM NAVs let alone in-motion.

 

The prices very by what inputs to the MyLink you may need or desire for the future.

 

Cheapest way is if you already have the GM A/V inputs. My truck didn't, so I had to do that, then decide on the type of device A/V inputs. I needed HDMI and opted for the cable thou wireless is easy, I didn't want RF issues or limited bandwidth using 1080p vids. The MyLink interface I have has 2 more inputs and also a additional camera input so it is a bit overkill for now but it is cheaper having the options instead of replacing interfaces later to add more.

 

When the admins unlock the install guide thread the full guide will help you do it, or perhaps decide what system you may want. I went with one from MVI after reviewing different brands and dealers.

We will unlock when MVI becomes a paid sponsor. We were not sure if you were just a satisfied customer of their work or you worked for them, so we locked it based on our forum terms and conditions. Decision was made from my superiors

Took me a moment but I guess that's the fun of a personalized plate.

Yea, I took several moments and I still don't get that plate

Received my sierrs spec morimoto hid bulbs and the gm type morimoto foglights. Installed the hid kit, but i have no idea how to get the fog lights out. I took the outer ring off, but not sure how to take the actual fog light out. Are these screwed in? I have the liner installed and cant see behind. I'm also at work with limited tools trying to install these in between breaks so i can try them out tonight since i work the night shift :)

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
