Good to hear you're outta there. How far did you get? I think you have to drive to like Oklahoma to get out of it completely. This thing is a monster

We stopped in North Mississippi at my boy's house, not too far from Memphis. Oklahoma was our first option. I think we'll still catch some, but as long as it's not the direct cat 4+ we'll be alright.

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

Should just be some rain and a bit of wind by there.

I appreciate it man. We're away from it now in North Mississippi staying with some friends. But I have friends on Facebook now scrambling to leave. I even told a few yesterday that I could get them a hotel . Most native Floridians are stubborn with hurricanes as its usually never as bad hyped. I've played outside in a bunch of category 3s. I ain't messing with this one though.

Roger that, I would be down there, but still recovering from a complete shoulder replacement from my last run in Afghanistan.

GM or Aftermarket? How about one of each?! [emoji23]. Performing a side by side drive test comparison.

The one on the driver's side actually looks the best to me although it looks to stick out farther. I'm guessing the one on the passengers side is OEM correct?

figured out my issue with the Thinkware F770. The ignition wire was hooked up to a timed circuit, so, that is why it would go back into parked mode.

At least you figured it out. 33a25d9f3b5c4a2c0b8f88d9d0fb5c60.jpg98b61d840b792581e0102be6a8a6c747.jpgd319756e824420889ed59f90e02bbbc7.jpgde45401f34e0ea560381fe18d0611254.jpg

Driver side is the aftermarket. It is power Fold while the GM on the passenger side is a DPN (Non-power Fold) mirror. I didn't have it extended all the way out. Lol.

 

I'll have a comparison video uploaded soon.

I really like the 1AAuto mirrors! I've been running them for about three months now with zero complaints or regrets!!

They are a solidly built mirror and up until yesterday, I like them even more when compared with a GM mirror.

 

I've heard reports of upper glass vibration at highway speeds but the GM mirror did that as well.

Looks good! What is the wheel tire specs ? I tried installing some 2" spacers with my 275/65/20s and stock wheels and it just wasn't happening, did some light trimming but to make it clear I would've had to cut way more off than I wanted to

Thanks [emoji120]. Tires are 285/70R17 bfgoodrich allterrain. The wheels are method race wheels 17x8.5 0mm offset. Don't like talking about all the trimming that had to be done. I get emotional thinking about it. Angle grinder in one hand and the other wiping tears away. Research the NorCal mod if you want to learn more about how much works needs to be done.

Lol yeah I've done that to a few silverados but with the fender trim on the sierras I couldn't quite figure out how to trim it and make it look good enough to where I wouldn't hate myself for doing it ?

Just got done installing my kicker VSS PowerStage system. It was actually very easy and straight forward to install and setup. Not a bad upgrade and actually gave me plenty of bass for my liking.

 

Next is upgrading door speakers. Will probably order Kicker KS series since crutchfield.com has buy one get one half off

      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?
