Got some tailgate work done. Paint matched Handle and removed badges for now. I have new ones if I decide I want some version again.

Finally installed the rigid industries d2 lights in the bumper. Just need to decide where to mount the switch under the dash. a8d783468d0e25e435494b792b30272c.jpg

Does that connection to the stock cat back leak? My experience with those band champs is they need to pull the two ends together evenly to seal properly.

After i took that picture I adjusted the clamp. Noticed is was all cocked. I have not noticed any leaks, but I am going to cut it off and run the rest of the exhaust in 3" and dump it before the axle.

So why is it everyone obstructs the view of their plate for pictures? How many people a day see it when you're driving? lol

My guess would be privacy... I did it with my pictures. Are you trying to memorize people's plates? Lol don't have to tell you there's some crazy resourceful people out there..

 

while you're driving, unless you take your plates off, you have no control who sees it, but, online you have more control, some people value their online privacy more than others I guess.

Lol true but, people are using a website. If someone really wanted they can find your IP address and find out where you live that way.

 

I would just try not to get on people's bad sides and no one will make the time to care about your existence.

That and if you post with a business in background, street sign etc and have city posted easy to track down. It is funny but to each their own.

Exactly. That's why it's funny when people ask about covering their license plates. Does it really matter if they do or don't? :)

 

The ones really concerned are the ones that will crop that stuff out... Lol

 

Like I said, there's crazy resourceful people out there.. :) I just think most of the people on this site aren't those type.. I hope at least.. :D

 

As you say, to each their own.

Just ordered the correct clockspring for my heated wheel. Headed up to Walmart to have the tires rotated before my vacation in 2 weeks. Sams club said they didn't have the tool to reset the tpms and were $4 a wheel. Walmart said $2.50 a wheel to rotate and they'll reset the tpms.

 

That's $10 well spent.

Rear bumper swap complete, no more chrome!! Also added rear flush mount LEDs...

 

Only issue now is I lost the chime when backing up from my parking sensors. I went thru everything in the radio and everything is on but didn't see an option for the chime anywhere. Any suggestions? ( no I have no warning in the DIC either )

Do you happen to have the part # for the the correct clockspring for the heated steering wheel?

    • No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.      
    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality. 
    • We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.
