That is so awesome. Didn’t think any of you guys on the forum would actually watch his videos. I got to see mikes McLaren up close and personal today.....! Troy is an awesome guy. He will be the only one touching my truck to do any detailing/ coating work.

Was so sad to see your beautiful truck be messed up like it was. You definitely lucked out being close to Troy. Looks great now though!

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

You the one from Michigan getting it shipped to him??


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, I 'm the one from Michigan, just got done texting with Shane. I spoke with Troy and Shane both today on the phone at separate times, sent pic's to both as well. I'd like to take the truck to them, don't know of any other reputable shops near me to turn to. I can't believe this is even happening to my truck. Not sure how it will end up with the current shop I am dealing with....

Installed a wireless charger in the jump seat. Took 5-10 mins tops. Eventually might hard wire to the cig lighter but for right now just running off the USB port. Thanks to Chris from the forum for the quick how to video

Which one did you go with? Got new iPhone too and want to do this as well in my console lid.

I have no clue how to get my passenger fog bulb out. I’ve been searching and googling all day. The clips on the top and bottom broke off. I can’t figure out if that means I’m SOL and need to take out the housing, or if there’s an easier way.

Use a flat head and push the release clip up and pull on the housing at the same time.

You’re a damn genius. I’ll be doing that tomorrow!

That’s awesome to see my input helped make your decision to go to Troy!

I do hope your truck works out, but I was on the phone with Shane long before I seen this here. I seen the video first with Troy, take a look at his video about your truck, you'll see my reply. Unfortunately, my truck is worse than yours. I know it's no contest I would want to win, but, they will need to strip the entire truck from bumper to bumper, roof to running boards, before they can do anything else. All the while, hoping my clear coat doesn't get burnt through, yet again. It's going to be a very expensive endeavour. It's been mouths of dropping off my truck, driving some pos rental for days on end. If I end up taking my truck to Shane and Troy, they could make more videos on what NOT to do, and what it will take to fix it.

Here's a quick pic, the entire truck looks like this...

Lol did you pull the two tabs rather then push in?

Don't let the light fool you, as you move the sun across the window or paint, you can see all of what looks like water spots over the entire truck. I think it came from spraying the truck, and our driving it in the rain to soon, I'm no expert,bff that is why I contacted ones who have proven themselves, and have shown proof Very publicly...

Yeah lol. As I was pulling the tabs together they busted. The driver’s side came out fine. But the passenger side has been hell.

It was 27* and snow flurries here yesterday. I went and got the truck oil sprayed. Local guy to us does a great job. The hardest part is leaving it parked in the street for a few days so it can drip off. I worry too much about being a victim of hit and run. Lol.

Yup like Troy said in the video it’s the minerals from rain or even tap water that etches into the paint. I remember having to fix that when I took delivery of my truck. Really isn’t too difficult of a job usually just time consuming since these trucks are so big.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      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.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      By newdude · Posted

      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....
