Replaced the black trim piece by the front license plate. The dealer drilled through this plastic piece (without putting bolts in the lower holes) instead of just putting bolts in the lower mounting holes. I wish I knew why they did this when it would have been less work to use the lower mounting holes. Getting that piece out was a pain in the ass because of 1 bolt on each side that is crazy hard to get to.

 

Yes I know Ohio requires a front plate, but I simply just do not care.

Haven't done much to the truck besides drive it, do an oil change, and lose my mind over the vibes in the truck. I hit two deer within two weeks of each other. First deer broke my driver side headlight and some other damage, both deer bent each side of the bumper. Haven't had time to drop the truck off at the collision center so took it upon myself to temporarily fix the bouncy headlight (two mount tabs were broke). Here's my third rate temp job [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]

Very nice! How much did this project run if you don't mind? Personally not a fan of the cold and I seem to have more ppl in the backseat asking if their seats are heated since my front seats are heated and cooled, this would be a nice addition if the price is right

For the right price, lol. Coming from the guy that has led strips in his headlights that change colors just by pressing pressing button [emoji23] [emoji23]

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] lmao. And hopefully changing to something else soon at that! Just waiting on Diode Dyanmics to finally come out with some RGBWA boards or I need to figure out how to wire the RGBWs to work like RGBWAs lol. But the strips were for me, the rear seats being heated aren't [emoji6]

Oh how generous of you Mike! Lol. I could care less about the back seat being heated for my passengers haha. Now if the truck came like that it'd be cool, but not worth my time and expense

That's where the "for the right price comes in [emoji57]" my parents always sit in the back when they ride in the truck, sometimes grandparents if we are going to an event (grandparents love my truck even though it's a PITA for them to get out even with the Amps. Getting in is easy, stepping down, not so much)

If it wasn't for those passengers I couldn't care less

I'm just honestly not sure what GM was thinking if they wanted to stay competitive in the market. The Laramie Rams come with standard second row heated seats, some Ford trims as well. GM didn't even add rear vents back in which is one of my bigger pet peeves. I'll be comfortable up front but friends in the back seat are always hot or cold, hard to keep em all happy I guess

 

Wait nevermind the Laramies don't come standard with second row heated seats, but most I've seen have them. Believe they are like a $100 add on, which is worth it IMO

Added 80 watt LED fogs and also did the brights+fogs diode mod!attachicon.gif2015-10-07 00.16.05.jpg

Also added the drivers assist "old man handle". Helps me from grabbing the steering wheel to get in. Especially useful since 2" lifting/ leveling the front

 

Where did you get the handle at? Really miss that, had one in my 02 f150. Easy install Id assume

My 7 yr old sits in the back and she's always asking me "Is the heat/Air on"... Repeatedly.... Omg, GM really didn't do well not putting vents in the back..

    • Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.          
    • Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.  
    • I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
