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.

I'm not really feeling it...

The thing is the middle chrome trim around the headlights would just stop so it wouldn't look right. I think for that to look right would be if you plastidipped the whole chrome grille surround and the chrome on the headlights.

Looks horrible, it needs to be all or nothing.

I agree it looks rough if it just stops at the headlights which is the problem I have with the aftermarket grilles that I've seen and the reason I don't want to do the whole thing is I'm afraid it will look like the lower trim levels. Thanks guys. Back to the drawing board...

Paint match the front end. If you take the pieces off it only be a few hundred bucks.

Ok so your first rendering didn't work out, no worries, I thought about it and have an idea that may spark something for you. If you want black but don't want it to appear cheap like a work truck or lesser trim level I was thinking color match the bumper in that awesome red and black chrome the grille and headlight surrounds. Of course color match the rear bumper as well. But if you're not completely stuck on plasti dipping I think it would look sick and would give you the black look without looking like a downgrade

That would look really good and be one of kind. Black chrome would be easy since he already has chrome. So they would just spray a black top coat and clear and you'd see the chrome shine through. Great idea.

I'd vote for color match.

Yeah if this doesn't work out I'm definitely gonna color match it. Maybe leave the grille chrome like the high country

I actually want to keep the chrome around the grille and headlights. I just want to get rid of the chrome bumpers. Well my idea would be to have them black chrome so it color matches and has the chrome look and durability.

      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

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
