Traded my 2015 in for a new 2017! I couldn’t pass up on all the rebates and my payment went down! No to start slowly doing some mods. Window tint and a leveling kit are first. 32ae4458c47d29ee90375a477cbb280e.jpg

What’s up, guys? Starting to do some slight mods to my 2015 SLE. Added a Lab/Pheasant sticker to the rear window today, and I attempted the Bambi Mod (fog lights on at all times) but I sucked at it and bent the hell out of the diode. Might be a project for Sunday. I’m trying to get the fogs to come on automatically and stay on with my brights. Read up on it but don’t quite understand where to get the diode. Lol

I appreciate the compliment. I honestly hadn't heard of them either, but I find decent amount of good reviews and figured custom offsets wouldn't sell a total pile of crap. My biggest concern initially was that I found some reviews that said they couldn't get a tire to balance. However, I asked the boys at Goodyear how mine balanced and they said beautifully...They hadnt dealt with them either. Only time will tell though. All good so far...

Yeah, man. I’ve heard nothing but good things. So you should enjoy them!

Figured out why I was getting a helicopter sound when my HVAC fan was on high. A leaf had fallen into the blower when I changed my cabin filter. No pic though. Thought my phone took the pic.

Looks great! Big difference in output?
Where did you get the lights from?
I have a 14 LT

they do look 100% better than the reflectors... 

 

JUST installed them and haven't been out at night yet... a little bummed as my Opt7 LEDs will not fit in the low beam (due to the projector taking up too much room) so ill be running halogens for now.... but i was actually quite impressed with my stock reflector's light output.... I can only hope/imagine these will be better...

 

Got them from a member here actually..

Didn’t actually do anything yet, but I am beyond done with the horrible lighting that the stock bulbs put out in my 2015. On my way home there were two deer in the ditch that I couldn’t see until it would have been too late (with high beams on) Luckily I’ve driven the road for years and know that it’s time for them to be active. So...I took advanced of XenonDepots 20% off sale today and ordered the LED Pro kit for my truck, and a set of LED Fogs. I know it’s not the best thing to do in stock reflectors, but I’ve read that on the ‘15 they aren’t as blinding due to the way the housing is made. I plan on upgrading the assembly down the road to remedy the entire situation.

Yeah, I’ve looked at so many of them. XenonDepot, Morimoto, or VLEDs were the three I’ve tried to read as much as I could about. XenonDepot just doesn’t have many bad things said about them. Hopefully it works out, or I’ll be having to send them back. Morimoto makes a cap extender for their kit, but doubt you can buy it separate.

Did you paint them yourself? What product did you use?

Mine at 28k was just about the same, slightly more leaves though. 8755124b61e1f274b1c22cbae31f2dad.jpg

    • Maybe.   Maybe.   I don't want to be the one that needs help and can't get it when I need it. That is a legitimate complaint, and how they respond to those legitimate complaints is a big red flag to me.   I don't care how good the product is their conduct is subpar. Some people are fine supporting that for the sake of getting the product they want. I'm not.   To be fair, I haven't seen or touched their product in person to determine for myself the quality of it. I'm not offering any opinion on that either.
    • So if you do nothing and they act on their threats like death to America or Israel. And possibly a nuclear war. Whoever survives wonders why didn’t they listen? Or we do something like every President has said they can’t get a nuclear weapon. We’re at the 10 yard line and it happens the time is now or never. I think I’m ok with paying a little more for gas for awhile. It’s a shame that we now live in a world that’s so polarized. 
    • 4-5-6 fails due to design.  Not enough clutches and not enough piston to clutch surface area.  Also the backing plate can bow.     I'd say converter is two part.  The design of converter chosen, and factory tuning of it aka slipping it in D (also L6) for AFM purposes, as well as locking it up in 2nd gear, sometimes 1st, also it will partially lock up at light loads.  All because CAFE/fuel economy requirements.  A billet converter on the stock tune might hold up better, but would still be subject to the stock tuning and how its designed to lock or partially lock.     The most baffling part to me, is the 2007-2013 6L80s didn't have the failure rate the 2014-2018 ones do.  I've been where I work for almost 17 years now, and I recall maybe 3 or 4 of the 07-13 transmissions getting pulled for something.  14-18 on the other hand, it was at a minimum one a month being opened up.    If I had to guess, I'd say the tuning for the gen 5 engines/6L80 setup and its fuel economy goals had a good bit to do with it.  Also, it was bankruptcy time during these years, so I'm thinking some cost cutting was done for the launch of the K2XX trucks.  See also now the 10 speed valve body issues (more cost cutting).  They blow out some mesh screen in the spacer plate, undersized check ball, and the feed limit valve was aluminum and wears out prematurely.         I don't think it was the HP jump from the gen 4 to gen 5?  The 6.2 in the 07-13 trucks was good for 380-400hp during its life/states of tune, and the 5.3 did 310-320hp.   
    • All this might be worth it had we actually recovered enriched uranium, a WMD, or an actual nuclear deal with oversight. This is a flub of epic proportion, and they all know it.   $5.10 at a station reporting $4.99 last week. Here we go....
