Do these look really dumb?

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/14-16-GMC-Sierra-1500-Truck-Gloss-Black-Taillight-Tail-Light-Trim-Bezel-Cover-/121844606503?hash=item1c5e812627:g:UW0AAOSwJcZWgY68&vxp=mtr

 

Got a two year lease, I don't want to spend money on aftermarket tails and I'm obviously not going to get them permanently painted. I plasti dipped all the chrome and emblems like I had on my GMC Terrain, just looking for a touch of customization in the back.

 

I kind of like them but they seem a bit busy.

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.

Yes, those look very dumb. Have you thought about purchasing vinyl tint?

I only helped, didn't do the actual installation. Yes the headliner came down just fine. They are Pacer lights. Almost identical to the GM ones.

Thanks.

 

I actually ordered a sheet of vinyl tint off ebay last night around same time I posted. One shop said they have issues with these tails, but I think he just wanted to upsell me on painting them. I was looking for someone if the tint film job goes to shit. I read other people had success. I considered Lamin-x but searched hi and low and found no one posting results so I ordered a 12" by 72" roll of film for $13

truck looks bada$$ - wonder if there's a way to get those RC flares to curve in and flush down to the bumper cap so it just doesn't square off in the very front...to me it looks like they did the right thing on the back flares but the front one just stops....? maybe it's my OCD showing through...!

I have the same thoughts about them "just stopping"...It appears Bushwacker has a trim piece, but I haven't been successful locating them.

      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.
