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.

Found an hour of free time yesterday and installed GM - Illuminated Door Sills. Love the way they look! Of course, made a how to video. The box didn't come with instructions and tried searching he

The first day I removed the air damn a buddy at work and he pointed out two tabs are visible from the side almost imminently. I did mean the smaller chrome piece by the tow hooks. It's not terrible, one 7mm bolt on the top was tough, but I just can't get the tabs on the top to clip in. I'm going to try this week when I get my Morimoto fog lights with the bumper removed.

I was hoping no one would notice and so far so good. Is that the one piece black led fog lights? Eyeing those myself.

Had a 500 mile weekend and went fishing among other things.

Found out my new Access Tonneau is NOT dust or water tight. At all. Gonna need to get some gaskets soon.

Just so you know, the bumper doesn't have to be taken all the way off to swap the fogs out. Just takes about 10 bolts on each side and the fog bracket comes out.

I figured I would also try and install the front chrome lower skid plate. I didn't have any luck getting the new one to clip in.

Car washes (touchless) do not seem to hurt the Plasti Dip. I have been through numerous, heavy rain, etc. and it has held up awesome on my truck. I did at least 6 coats, lightly applied, to built it up. Don't just cake it on in one thick spray. I wash my truck by hand and a wash mitt doesn't hurt it either. I'm sure if you took a rough brush to it, over time, it would come off though.

I took my time in prepping, but that being said, you can spray plasti dip all over your door and it'll peel off easily (unlike paint). I just found doing a good job on taping off my bowtie on the front and rear made things easiest. The emblems on the door I did too (before completely removing them) and you can't tape in as fine detail as you can with the bowties. Just tape off what you can, apply all your coats (6-8 IMO), and let it dry. Once it dries just take your time peeling it off, and the edges of the lettering will cut it cleanly. You can use a toothpick to get into the tiny awkward grooves to get you started as well.

Thank you sir!

Left work a little early and got it done last night. It took me a lot longer because I was fighting with that lower chrome skid plate. Even after removed the 10 7mm bolts I couldnt get it to completly clip in, GRRR.

 

The fogs went easy, just lots of bolts, but all easy to access.

Post some pics when you get them on. Curious to see how they look.

      OCI, not when but why?

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
