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.

Nice! I have been considering a stubby myself but haven't seen this style. How is your reception since changing?

I had a shorter stubby antenna and it worked great. With the shorter antenna you'll loose stations that come in with static. Other than I didn't have any problems.

Ditched the chrome handles and did some color matching. AA9410EC-31B6-4672-AC39-2B2995C5B0DE_zps8CDFFD18-4FF9-44B9-94E1-21E32535597A_zps3CD1732C-9176-4812-8140-14BF016A2524_zps

Been thinking of color matching my tailgate handle .... did you spray at a shop or use a can? If a can, where did you buy from?

A friend painted the handles. Most paint supply shops can mix paint and put it in spray cans. I did that for the bowties but they are a little darker. With spray cans, it's almost impossible to get the mix spot-on with such a small amount of paint.

I know about spot on paint match. My truck has painted door handles from the factory and they are darker than the body. Outside vender provides them and are installed in the trim shop during the build process.

 

The first cap I had was a perfect match but the second brand came in darker. Sent it back with gas cap for a computer match and it is lighter than the truck. This siren red shows different hues depending on how the light hits it. Your blue probably does the same.

 

There is a touch-up paint company that offers spray bombs but they are probably darker as well. Wonder if a white undercoat would change the outcome.

Got the driver side on, but my back said it was done. Anyone in Cypress want to help with the other side. Lol

Got rid of my chrome on the lower valence with some plastidip.

 

Washed and waxed the truck as well

I had no idea that could just be pulled off. I was planning on plasti dipping mine while it was still on. How do you take it off?

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
