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.

What did you have to do to install the 2nd set of bed lights? Any wire splicing?

This past week I partially debadged the tailgate (removing the dealer badge and the chevy emblem).

Installed rear frame hole covers.

Michelin LTX A/T 2 (275/60/20). They rub slightly on the UCA's because the sidewalls bulge a little more than the OEM's and the level pulls the whole wheel in a little tighter as well. I don't want spacers so I just avoid full lock.

Last night I mounted my Lowrance "Trophy 5m Baja" to my cupholders lol. Sounds funny but it actually works really well bolted up there and it's completely solid!

 

I removed the rubber liner and cut away about a 2"x3" section to allow me to bolt up a RAM mount while being able to completely cover up the bolts/nuts with the rubber cup holder liner.

 

Here's a couple quick photos I took this morning:

I still need to hardwire the unit and install the external GPS because, at least where I have it mounted, it's definitely needed.

i still need to change some red LEDs in the dash to blue - hopefully in the next week or so!

 

 

***oh... does anyone know how to get the rear view mirror apart? it's got 3 buttons (on star, sos, voice command (i think?)) that glow white but i don't know what to do to pop it open without damaging the mirror. i was at the local chev dealership on friday and they were no help. i just don't want to break it!

I have my old mirror in the garage still. If I remember tonight I'll try to get it apart and let you know.

thanks - i was able to figure it out yesterday. i watched a couple videos on replacing auto dimming mirrors and they showed how to get it apart - basically wedge a screw driver in the seam of the plastic parts and twist

 

i just made sure i started on the top on my mirror so any damage wouldn't really be noticeable

Added a Gero gun magnet and got a new DA polisher that I used on my truck today. Used 3D Speed polish and it came out great.

A magnet! Jesus that's so simple I can't believe I didn't think of it. I was afraid I'd have to buy multiple different mounts depending on what I was carrying.

 

How solid is it? Do any light off reading in it with that? I take a small trail to an area I shoot, it would be nice to not need to keep it concealed on me during that drive assuming it's solid. Either way I'm gonna look into this.

It's all good until you get into an accident. The idea of an unsecured loaded weapon with nothing covering the trigger flying around the cab of my truck didn't sound very good to me.

 

Just because something is convenient doesn't make it safe. There are better options.

Yeah but realistically you could throw a condition 1 glock against a wall or anything and it'll never fire. It's pretty much the case with anything unless you roll with the hammer cocked lol but glocks don't have that issue. Very cool mount btw!!! Great idea

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
