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

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.

It really helps when you have family with an awesome lift...

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

      So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it.

      How to Tune 6L80 Silverado transmission

      By ballencd · Posted

      New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.

      Sounds like a smart reasonable person with common sense. Bill O’Riley never said he was just a journalist, by the way.
