Hauled this precious cargo home for the first time from the NICU after 40 days!   Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

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

With the fogs and bulbs on.

 

 

 

 

It took about 45 mins to swap these out. In the rain too. Lol. It looks so damn good. Hopefully getting some more paint for the grille this week.

Looks great man. Can't wait to see the rest of the grill done

I had to bake the headlight to get it open and then install the Klearz lens. I did it at 235* for 18 mins. Put it in for 8-10 mins for a reheat when it started to harden up and I was scared to crack something. Lol.

I had blackouts on my first car and it was a pain to see. Everything I do now doesn't hinder the lighting output. That's why I went with the clear instead of the smoke. It's just personal preference.

 

Getting them separated was the hardest part, which wasn't as hard as it was nervousness.

On the inside of the lens you can see 2 small torx screws. Remove them and the black will separate from the clear lens.

You can see where they are plastic welded. I used a dremel and just removed the melted plastic to where the amber lens would just pop off.

Make sure to epoxy the Klearz in place on the backside and you're good to go! I put it on both sides of the lens just to be safe.

So how do you access the front camera? Also this doesn't come with the front camera you used correct?

 

Looking at this or one other option for adding a front camera.

well today I finally got around to doing my 1.5" MOTOFAB leveling kit and my MAGNUM rack came in too!!! The leveling kit was installed by a local shop and looks great! im very happy i didnt go with the 2" kit. the truck sits almost dead level in person but i want to measure it out. I may go with 1" lift blocks in the rear to keep a slight bit a rake since i like that look.

 

next up was my MAGNUM rack!! so please with the fit finish and quality! great product and super easy to install! dont waste your money paying a shop to do it! took me 30 mins and thats be uase i went slow under the truck running the wire harness neatly!

 

 

 

 

where did you get the rack from?

How the heck did you manage to rub through the rubber!?

You should see how beat up my old one is. I bought the truck used with only 17k miles. The fob was completely destroyed like the previous owner used pliers on it. I think they used too soft of rubber on the pad. Feels nice but has zero durability.

Decided I'd finally change my key fob internals to a new one I purchased on eBay. $45 and just about every tab broken later and I have a brand new fob lol. Nothing a dab or 2 of superglue couldn't fix.

Yea mine are beat up too and I have always babied them. Never in my pocket with other keys etc... Weak rubbers - the kind that can get you in trouble!

 

Anyway, Mike you say you broke some tabs separating them - any pointers on how you may be able to separate them without breaking anything?

 

Thanks in advance.

Jon

No real pointers seeing as how I broke all but 1 tab [emoji28] but honestly if you just use some blue loctite when you put the chrome covers back on, just a dab incase you want to pry them off again at a later time for whatever reason. Then you'll be fine. That's what I did and they won't budge.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
