Debadged, still deciding on whether I'm going to keep the chevy badge on the back, cleaned and tire blacked. I love the Deep Ocean blue when it's clean...3facb1ecf2fa5e37f03437fa82083c1d.jpg

Very true. I find myself washing my DOBM '16 all the time.

 

Curious. Which Autonation did you buy yours at?

 

And you have already swapped out color matched door handles?

Bought at the autonation in Gilbert off Val Vista and Pecos. The door handles were like that when I drove it off the lot. Guess I got lucky. [emoji4]

New tail lights having to get a new driver side one due to a loose wire, overall I like the look but will most likely have change the bulbs.

I say do it for sure! I've always been a fan of tow mirrors on stanced / lifted trucks. I'm wanting to get the 2015 HD tows for mine and color match inside and out with Klearz clear lens

 

Toying with the idea of tow mirrors again. Played with this in photoshop, what do you guys think? Yay or Nay?

I got tired of the front air damn getting mud and rocks lodged in it from the lease so I took it off. However, I missed the squared off look so I did a little cutting and trimming. I took out the center section and reduced the height of the area in front of the tires while following the contour of the damn. Let me know what you think.

Hey brother

Quick question. Does the recon lights come in different shades of tint? TIA

For you hunters... I tied into the factory bed lights and added a pair of led to the inside of my toolbox. They swivel and tilt. I also added a switch inside the toolbox so they can be on or off with the bed lights on, but won't accidentally stay on. This works for us since we back up to a tree, mount our portable tree hanger and get to work.

I would have to say the ride is not bad with 35 and a 3.42 with the rc 7.5 that my current set up your lose some but it not like most people say. I am also looking at 4.10 this winter but for now the 3.42 are doing the job. So don't let it stop going with a 35. You may be surprised.

 

Installed a wireless charger. Took about 30 minutes pretty simple and worth the money. Total cost 15 dollars well spent.

What wireless coil did you use for it?

Added Gm factory chrome skid plate and tow hooks...it makes the front end look more finished than the cutout in the chrome bumper to me.

 

Planning to do some more color matching and possibly powder coating the bumpers. Still want to keep the white / chrome theme with minimal black.

Flares. Spacers. Led fog lights and headlights and Led DRLs. Thought the DRL install came out pretty clean.

    • 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.     
    • 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.
    • I do too. I’ll never be stuck again 😂
    • It has happened to me a few times. I carry a jumpstart-tire inflator with me.
