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

Added my power folding mirrors.

Then do you replace the whole door and controls to get the button, or just add a button somewhere?

What did I do with my K2 today (well, yesterday)?

 

I rolled past 38K and went down to buy my daughter a Chevy Cruze Eco. As soon as I got home with it, she was telling me what mods, that I have done to my Silverado, that she wants done to it.

 

1) All forward-facing white lights on with HI-beams

2) LEDs all the way around (inside/outside) (I haven't finished this one yet with my truck)

3) Phone holder (current/primary project for me)

 

I may throw in (when I do mine):

1) Lights under the hood

2) LED strip lights underneath (when I throw on my nerf bar lights)

3) Better trunk lighting

4) Footwell lighting(?)

Replaced the entire harness w one provided by pgamboa hence why I had to remove door panel AND replaced mirror control switch w one that has power folding button. Have you read his thread before? It's in the modifications subsection as well, "DL8, DL3, Towing Mirror Upgrade - Mirrors Explained"

Well, I got off my dead arse and slapped my G2 differential cover on in 110 degree heat ambient! I had really no issues and that is with the Hellwig rear sway bar already installed. It holds 4 qts right up to the top fill line! It's pretty stout and looks nice too! I will post a more in depth response soon and maybe a picture. I know many people have been waiting for these and a couple heads up will help it's nothing crazy but any advice is better than none.....

Replaced the leaky axle seal and upgrade the differential cover. Had never done one. Realized the internet is a little hard to follow when you have aftermarket parts installed. Had to modify some brackets a bit to get it all out back together. Was also able to remove the spacer ring that was installed when the 4.10s got put in.956d058b468ceab8079d4196f85f1b23.jpg7917e25475cf432b027e3b41475fbfbd.jpg92ab0d6904334b5e65fd3f47df816dd1.jpg104efd45ede8d3c01a44e2e8c9f2ecda.jpgb99241448793b9be495c3dcbc503dec5.jpg134a4cf71f30cb45d032bc71f30a6d7c.jpg

That mount looks clean.

I agree, one of he best I've seen. I was just checking their website and they actually have four or five different mounting locations (for trucks with or without full console). A little pricey but really nice as they are made to snap onto different locations....no tape or screws or vent clips.

I don't know if it still works or not, but I found a coupon for the Pro Clips that got 10% Off. Just use "10off". Every little bit helps.

 

Buddy had one similar on his Blazer for years. This console one has two pieces of double sided tape and then it actually locks into the bottom trim groove.

May be a dumb question, what's that big indentation in the cover for?

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
