You're probably hoping for something cool, but in reality...  It's just an extension cord in through the back door, plugged into the dash.  

Haha that was my guess. Cord through the rear slider.

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

Glad to hear. I’ll be changing the brakes myself soon for the first time on the truck and on any vehicle for that matter

This guy has a pretty good video. He gets lucky and his caliper mounting bolts come out easy. You may have to hold the hex sides of the slide so you can loosen the caliper mounting bolts, 2 of them. There are also 2 mounting bolts for the caliper brackets that have to be taken off to remove the rotor. He has a pretty good video. Prior to installing the rotor, be sure to clean the rotor surfaces with some kind of cleaner, he does not mention this in his video.

Had to paint.  First I had to obtain parts that had been painted/primed already.  Then sent them off to get painted.  Finally reinstalled.

 

I'll get a good picture in the sun in a couple days.  Deep Ocean Blue Metallic.

Did you ever compare the light output between the hid and led?  or were you too excited to get the leds installed and forgot?  lol

You caught me there, I did not. 

 

I do know the HIDs are supposed to put out more light, but it definitely feels like the LEDs are a LOT brighter.

 

If you didn't want to do the LTZ headlight upgrade, you could always buy a set of Morimoto D5S bulbs to swap out for more light output/better color.

Factory leds put out more light than the factory hids

Damn, you're always there to correct me! Appreciate it!! Haha

 

I cannot find the lumens that either put out stock.  Happen to have that?

Got rid of some random deep scratches on hood probably inflicted by my neighbors kitty.  Used a new GG Orbital Polisher I bought with Meguiars 105.  Once scratches were removed topped area with a coat of Pinnacle Souveran Wax.

What’s the part number for this?  I really need to get those swapped out for me. I’m shorter so it would help me out getting in

I added amp steps and finished my sub/amp install this past weekend. Now that I've read more of these threads I've added the interior led lights and driver entry handle to my "to do" list.  All for my new to me 15.  

 

The amp install wasn't very bad at all.  Pretty straight forward.  I soldered all connections vs using their crimp's so that slowed me down just a tad.  Also wrapped any bare wires with oem cloth heat proof tape.  Made for a very nice install.  

 

The sub/amp was a lot more of a pita.  Getting the LC2i dialed in was interesting.  It's all installed on my back wall behind the oem sound proofing (with a section removed for air flow).  I used a sheet of abs plastic with bolts running through the back of it to mount the amp/lc2i to and then double side taped that to the back wall.  No holes to drill or anything.  I used the back bolt on the jack mount to ground everything too (after some sand paper rubbing).  Overall a very clean install with only the box showing.  I did run a remote turn on using the under dash koeo loction in the left side of the plug banks.  That solved a lot of my issues with not turning on/off correctly on the lc2i.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By richard wysong · Posted

      I had an 88 K1500 with a 5.7 that had those symptoms, I know totally different, it ended up being the ECM. Once you get the fuel system fixed if it still runs lousy you may want to investigate that. it didn't set any codes, stalled ,ran rough at times etc

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      OCI, not when but why?

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
