Hauled this precious cargo home for the first time from the NICU after 40 days!   Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

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.

Had the truck tuned by @BlackBearPerf a couple of weeks ago, had the 15% removed from the front windows and retained with 5%, and today i Installed some Morimoto XB Led fogs that FastHeadlights chromed the bezels for me, and cleaned up the truck.

I finally got around to installing my stage 2 aFe intake. Makes the engine bay look much cleaner (although it needs a cleaning) and it could be just my ass and pocketbook but I feel like the throttle response is better now. Need to sync data and get BBP to adjust the tune for me now that I've got an intake and exhaust.

There are a many of us who enjoy a nice looking truck like yours but we also appreciate seeing your face.  As the weather improves I enjoy more trips on my motorcycle.  Not being able to see the face behind the wheel puts motorcyclists in a most vulnerable position.  If you've ever driven a motorcycle, you will have experienced the feeling of being "not seen" or invisible.  The best chance we have for our safety is to see your face.  We don't care how your hair looks,  but we want to know that you see us and not looking elsewhere.

Only a motorcycle rider understands this.

The window tint craze has gotten out of hand IMO.

Do any states actually allow windshield tint other than the top stripe?

I’ve had motorcycles in the past, I’m always aware of my surroundings. You can’t even tell that the front is tinted when you are sitting inside the truck. Windshield tint is illegal BUT you can get your eye doctor to give you a note allowing it if you are sensitive to lights at night. Pretty much just cuts the glare of the inside. Outside looking in looks darker cause your looking into my black seats, and dark rear window

I used a ceramic coating I got off of Amazon. Makes them easier to clean.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Spot on. The government makes ridiculous mandates, and this causes manufacturers to jump through hoops for every TENTH of a MPG. Main reason quality is in the toilet and prices are in the stratosphere.   The gov't tightened the MPG requirements so much 5 years ago that the only way manufacturers could meet these absolutely ridiculous numbers was to go all EV. Hence the push.     Nobody hates good MPG, Atlas - nobody is "whining". Your side has that trait all locked up. What a stupid argument attempt!   What I particularly hate is the government meddling in the free market system. Had this system been allowed to work as designed and intended by our Founders, cars and trucks would be hitting numbers that would blow our minds, all while costing 30% LESS. Not only that, but engines could probably hit 150k miles again without needing major internal surgery.   My forty year old Ford 302 has 312k on it. Wonder what changed?🤔

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      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.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      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?
