Swapped out the plastic dealer branded plate frames for simple black metal versions this morning. I'd ordered a carbon fiber set, but apparently their mold was a bit too small as my plates didn't fit.

 

Oh well, simple black does the trick just as well.

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.

Yeah simple black always works, but you can always vinyl wrap it carbon very easily later

I was surprised to read about simple black licence plate frames as I just installed a set yesterday! Our province just released three new licence plates and my wife bought me a set for my upcoming bday. The dealer frame covered too much of the plate. Here is a sample picture of the plate we chose.

Installed two new MOOG upper control arms. Changed the oil and filter with Penzoil Platinum 0W20 and a Wix filter. Pulled 4 quarts of trans fluid out the dipstick with a hand operated vacuum pump. 4 new quarts of GM synthetic fluid back in. Set the tire pressures and rotated the tires for alignment on Monday. Tomorrow, is wash day for the truck and my wife's car. Salt all over them.

How many miles on truck? Ball joints wore out?

I had one on the passengers side that was making some noise coming in and out of my driveway. I bought the truck with 42k miles on it so, I have no idea what the previous owner did to it. Lowered, lifted who knows. I changed both thinking the other one might be right behind. About $175 for both arms off of Amazon. There is 76K miles on it now.

Bought some 1N004 diodes today to do my puddle lamps on the next nice day. Power folding switch is supposed to be here on Monday too. Can't wait.

No tuning? I could've sworn I read on here that in order to do this and have everything work correctly, that a tune was needed.

True, but I'll probably just stick with the black. The cool factor of the CF set that I bought was that they were actually carbon fiber and not a wrap or plastic.

 

Oh well, back to Amazon they go.

Yes, maybe it had something to do with the On-Star, or something. I remember having to integrate the wire harness.

The difference with the mirror is the need for a GMLAN Circuit tap and a power pin relocate. The mirror has omitted a few circuits which are now managed by the GMLAN circuit.

Did the same mod last week. Used the Gen5diy harness and had to also add a 12V constant supply. The Onstar warning light comes up on mine when I first start the truck, but everything seems to be working correctly. Does the warning light come up on yours?

Yep. Comes on for a few seconds, then turns off. I added the auto dimming, backup lamp, and run/crank Voltage circuits a few months ago. Adding the Gen5DIY harness made the upgrade really simple. I didn't have to go hunting for a GMLAN circuit today [emoji23].

      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.
