Let me know if that ultra flex leaks during the rain. I'm on my 2nd original flex and it's already leaking again.

The colour isn't the problem to me. The fact that they are so square is what turns me off...

The weird fake diamonds. I agree. I'll admit, it's growing on me more though.

Where was yours leaking from?  I will definitely keep an eye on it and let you know. I also installed a tailgate seal. Hopefully that helps.

@shadrickjm I love those runningboards. I've been thinking about getting some after deciding against the amp research due to cost and complexity. Any chance you have a shot of the whole side of the truck? I'm curious how it looks with the bed.

Here’s a few shots front and back. Hope this helps. I really wanted to go Amp but couldn’t see spending the 1500-2k for them. If you do end up going with the Go Rhino’s, get them from  carid.com.  They had the cheapest price. I got them for $350 with shipping.  

 

 

Also, the front of the running board is wider than the rear.  I’m really happy with my decision.

This has to be the nicest interior update available! It is an upgrade that not only looks great but enhances the value of your truck more than the actual cost of the audio system, imo.   Nicely done!

Thanks!

I thought crutchfield had a disclaimer stating that you can’t back back to the oem radio after doing this upgrade. Not sure why, I didn’t feel like talking to the customer rep

This unit does not require any dash cutting so you can easily go back to stock however if you go with a standard double din headunit you will have to cut the rails that hold the factory module in the dash.

Thanks and it does not have Android Auto or CarPlay however it does have HDMI input so you can mirror your phone/tablet without the limitations of those (you can play Netflix, YouTube or any other video app)

WHAT?!?!? For $3K that thing doesn't have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto? 

 

Edit: Looks like they had raised the price of the 10" to $4k at some point but its on sale for $1299 since they're pushing the new 9" model for $2k which includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

I'm not too fond of those either as they really don't fit into the otherwise nearly factory looking design (if they weren't there I bet most would think it was a factory unit)

On sale for $1300.00 :D and the phone mirroring is far more useful than the CarPlay was IMO.

A few different spots along the seams that fold. Pretty much random spots along the center. 1st cover one lasted about 6 months before it started leaking. 2nd cover lasted about the same. I even used silicon along all the seams to try and stop the leaks. I'm hoping the ultra seals better.

Wow, that's crazy.  Did Undercover warranty it?  Did they hassle you about the diffective cover?

No. They are pretty easy to work with. They just asked me to email a few pics of the leaking or a short video. After that they emailed me and said they were shipping out a new cover. The new cover was an updated version of the original flex that I had but sadly it's leaking more than the 1st. I need to call them again and see what they about the 2nd cover.

Those look really great! I've been eyeing a pair of those because i hate how slippery the OEM boards are. Ive almost killed myself a dozen time. Do you know how slippery they would be with snow or water on them? Thanks!

    • 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.
    • 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?
