Just crossed over 90k on my '14. Replaced the battery yesterday too... it was ready and this cold weather was taking a toll on it.

Boy, that project sucks btw... especially in 7 degrees. My advice, give Sears the 30 bucks to do it.

Recently installed Husky liners front, center hump and full size rear liner. Also had tint installed, 20% Llumar all around.

 

I have RC front level in transit. Hoping to get toolbox, and tonneau cover come spring time.

cleaned it up to show my new scar...

 

 $3600 in damages - I was out in a storm towing people that were stuck and slipped getting into the truck, let the door go and watched it wrap around my fender. :shakehead:

tell me about it... 30" of snow and I spent most of my Saturday night towing people out. Fortunately, I made enough cash towing/plucking cars out of the snow to pay for the deductible.

finally found some LED fog lights that fit the housing well and look great, i have the pucto LED headlights from chuxtrucks here in town installed was worried the color was gonna be off and they match very well!

 

found the fog lights on amazon after reading reviews and seeing them on the trucks i figured why not price was right! glad i did! i also added the new DL3 mirrors they look great and a wonderful upgrade Pgamboa is the man!

 

Next on my list is to have line-x spray on flares done along with undercoat and rear wheel-well corrosion prevention done next week

Put my AMP steps on...and......

 

just like everyone elses, the front gap vs. rear gap is uneven AND all four lights quit working!

Not sure what you mean "just like everyone elses".  I installed mine over 2 years ago and didn't have any problems.

Did you leave all the bolts loose until everything was hung then adjust everything?  I did that (per the instructions) and my gap is perfect the entire way across both sides.

 

If all 4 lights quit working then it sounds like you may have knicked the wire that controls the lights or there is a problem with the control module.  Did you contact AMP Research?  Their Tech Support and Customer Service is great so they should be able to talk you through troubleshooting then get you replacement parts if needed (the steps come with a 5 year warranty).

Thanks for the reply.  Would you mind taking a pic of the lower bolts on your linkage brackets please?  I am in talks with Amp and I believe they sent me the wrong hardware.  I am waiting on an answer from their engineer.  This is what my lower bolt looks like....it is loose in an oversized sheetmetal hole and there is no washer under it.  Before I can get close to 16 ft-lbs, the sheet metal begins to bend and distort into the recess in the bottom of the linkage bracket.

 

They are sending me a new controller for the light problem.  The lights worked fine for 2 days and then all four just quit.  I know it isn't a wiring problem because they worked for two days and I didn't touch anything or even move the truck.

    • 100% agree, there are a lot of variables. I definitely do not drive I’ve like a grandpa but also don’t drive like I stole it. Truck is currently in the shop so I’ll have to get weight later. The price for driving it doesn’t bother me. My precious was a 6.2l so the cost between the two is a wash. 
    • if you want a short turning radius get a short bed Colorado!
    • that is pretty awesome MPG there!  I think so far one observation is these trucks do way better on MPG under 65mph vs 70+ and they really suffer at 75+   I noticed on the stretches into NE on 76 and 80 which is posted 75MPH and I was doing 82 I was getting more like 13.    
    • No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.      
    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.
