Changed the transfer case fluid and greased the two zirks on the tie rod ends. Surprised at how dirty the fluid was at only 27k, fells good to have new ATF in there, also Severe gear in both front and back pumpkins.

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.

how hard was the frameless mirror mod? thinking of doing this myself

If you already have an auto dimming mirror, it is relatively easy with a Gen5DIY harness. Their harness moves the power pin from on slot to another. It also provides a GMLAN tap circuit from the back of the radio.

 

If you don't have an auto dimming mirror, it'll be more involved as you'll need to get Power ran to the mirror. At that point, you might as well run the auto dim circuits so that your DL3 Driver side will auto dim as well.

Not too bad, used the adapter harness from Gen5diy. I also had to add a 12V supply to pin 10. I think this was because my original mirror was not auto dimming.

Were the steel bushings on your 2.0's centered? Mine were not and I couldn't move them so I installed them as was. Just curious. I installed my 2.0 coil-overs this morning before the superbowl and will say you may need a extra person to help slide the bottom of the coil-over on top of the lower control arm. I also changed my sway bar end links with moog since I had to remove them.

Yea, mine were off some. One was real bad and I used a dead blow hammer to get it moved over but still not centered. Thanks for the info on the coil-overs.

I don't know much about Fox, but I have the Bilstein's and my truck rides like a Cadillac compared to the stock ranchos...I have a level so obviously I feel the smaller bumps and what not, but when I hit the bigger bumps the 5100's don't bottom out, night and day difference....

Do you have the shocks set up to level the truck or a different leveling kit? I have the RC 2" and was wondering about what shocks to choose when the time comes.

Installed my power folding switch. 4 bolts and a few tabs and it pops right out and in. I thought the mirror controls did t work at first because the new switch is lighted. You just have to press the buttons 5-6 times to recognize it and then it'll light up.

When you transition from left and right mirror control, it seems that there is a timer delay before the fold button activates. Drove me crazy at first.

I"ve thought about painting my calipers, but don't know which color would look good with the 20" oem chrome wheels and tungsten metallic? and still trying to decide whether it looks good or not

I have that setup with red painted calipers. See my gallery. In my opinion they aren't very visible with the OEM wheels. I'm considering replicas with a more open pattern. I'd like to get someone to video me driving by so I can see how visible they are in motion.

Well.. my truck is an LT. The factory mirror that came with my truck was non-auto dimming. However, I swapped it for the auto dimming mirror shown in the picture. Still not sure what direction I want to take yet as the frameless mirror is a little smaller than the framed one.

I went with the S-Type and love it, just enough rumble and doesn't sound obnoxious.

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.
