Just made an order for some Amsoil SS. It'll be the first oil change in my '14 Chevy LTZ 6.2L with only 43k on it. The dude that had it before me was running Castrol Synthetic, I'm sure it'll be happier after the change.

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.

Ok I need some help taping into my DRL to power some halo rings. Anyone know what and where to tap into to get this accomplished? Or have a link to a topic on this already? I have 14 Sierra Denali . Thanks in advance

In the first couple of pages of the $50 and under mod thread their is a pic of the diagram under the steering wheel where you can tap on too. Hope that helps

Well, I do know for a fact that it does cancel road noise, as well as the rest of the benefits you mention. No, I don't have laboratory proof to post on hand, but, I have been part of the testing in the past and can tell you it cancel road noise. If you look back at my post where I mention the me Dodge I used to own, it gives you the idea.

 

I can't go into too many specifics about any certain automaker, or vehicle, as some of the legal paper with I had to sign is still in effect.

 

 

The next thing to go after is how transparent the glass is, but that would be going off topic.

I agree that it quiets the noise .... as far as glass .. I remember the Buick Rainer came out they laminated plastic between the front door glass to make it a quieter cabin.

Have a good day all!

This past Saturday, me and my truck were in the Strawberry Festival Parade in Pasadena TX. I was the safety/water vehicle for my son's high school marching band.

Had to get the truck rebalanced again due to heavy vibrations. Apparently the guy at the tire shop a couple of weeks ago didn't bother to remove the previous wheel weights. Went to another shop and a couple of wheels had 9-10 ounces of weights staggered all about. Tech removed all weights actually dismounted and remounted 1 tire and high speed balanced every wheel and tire. Ride is smooth again and I didn't mind leaving the tech a good tip.

ive done waaaay too much research on it as well. The consensus thus far is to steer clear of water based and use the rustoleum "professional" floor kit. I will be buying it this week for my new house. If that works out in the 2.5 car garage, i'll end up doing the 30x40 concrete floor in the pole barn as well.

Please LMK if you find anything else out about epoxy as my brain is now mush.

AS you know, prep is key. degrease, scrub, powerwash, etch.

good luck

I did my garage about two months ago with the rustoleum professional kit.. actually I had to wind up buying 3 kits. So far so good. It has a very nice gloss to it and have had my vehicles in and out and all the paint is sticking down with no issues. Wish I would have done this years ago, this makes cleaning up the floor a breeze when your out there working and now my little guy can be out in the garage with me rolling his toy trucks around without getting dirty and getting me yelled at by the wife lol.

And this is how crappy my floor was before...

My garage is 28x26 ...I wound up using 2 and a half kits. Put it on pretty thick I guess. And I also purchased extra bags of the paint" flakes " to throw in there. I bought my kits from Home Depot.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Spot on. The government makes ridiculous mandates, and this causes manufacturers to jump through hoops for every TENTH of a MPG. Main reason quality is in the toilet and prices are in the stratosphere.   The gov't tightened the MPG requirements so much 5 years ago that the only way manufacturers could meet these absolutely ridiculous numbers was to go all EV. Hence the push.     Nobody hates good MPG, Atlas - nobody is "whining". Your side has that trait all locked up. What a stupid argument attempt!   What I particularly hate is the government meddling in the free market system. Had this system been allowed to work as designed and intended by our Founders, cars and trucks would be hitting numbers that would blow our minds, all while costing 30% LESS. Not only that, but engines could probably hit 150k miles again without needing major internal surgery.   My forty year old Ford 302 has 312k on it. Wonder what changed?🤔

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      The BORA 3/8" spacers arrived yesterday along with the extended lug nuts. I got the front wheels changed out today, but was overheated and covered in sweat so bad, I figured getting both front wheels done was a win, and took a cool shower. Hopefully, I'll go out tomorrow morning before it gets into the 80+ temps and do the backs. After getting the first wheel snugged up, I backed out one of the lug nuts then hand turned to count threads. I believe I stopped counting around 12-13, so I think I'm good there.

      My fullsize truck is averaging over 26mpg so I'm pretty happy with the increased fuel economy targets. When I had my gas Silverado (2020 5.3) it was averaging 21. Again, for a fullsize truck, that's very different from the 12-15 these things used to get 30 years ago.   Whine all you want, increased MPG is a good thing.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I think an OBD-first proof is probably the right next step. I agree that the value is not the hardware box by itself. The marketable part would be the software: always-on capture, baseline learning, event reduction, system-specific reports, and alerts. Also agreed that if an OBD device is always plugged in and has local storage, it should not miss the event in the same way that a scanner plugged in after the fact would. The only thing I would not want to assume yet is that an ELM327-class device gives all the late-GM data needed at the rate needed. Standard OBD live data, DTCs, freeze frame, Mode 6, VIN, and calibration information are definitely the right starting point. GDS2 also proves that a lot of useful ECM data can be viewed through the DLC without needing a DTC first. The question I need to test is whether the data needed for a useful GM V8 event report is actually available through the DLC, and at a useful sample rate: - misfire counts / roughness by cylinder - AFM/DFM state - oil pressure and oil temperature - fuel trims - voltage / reset context - U-codes and communication events - calibration / software information - whether these are standard PIDs, enhanced DIDs, Mode 6 data, GDS2-only data, or not available So I think the right benchmark is: 1. Build the OBD-only version first. 2. Keep it plugged in and logging locally. 3. Compare it against GDS2 / freeze frame / HP Tuners or another higher-end logger. 4. Measure which parameters are available and at what update rate. 5. Only justify ECM-side hardware if it captures useful evidence the OBD version cannot. So you may be right: the consumer product might simply be an always-plugged-in OBD event recorder with much better reporting. A question for you: when you say ELM327 devices can already deliver all the data needed, do you mean generic OBD Mode 01 data only, or GM enhanced data as well? For a useful GM V8 report, would generic OBD data be enough, or would you expect the tool to include enhanced items like misfire by cylinder, AFM/DFM state, oil pressure/oil temp, U-codes, and calibration information?
