Added the Amp Research Powerstep today. A little noisy when retracting/deploying but I love them. I'm going to get rid of the ugle purple LED lights that come with it.

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.

Wow, awesome. I think that's my next mod. I have a 2018 6.2L. I'm jealous. Did you touch any internals? How does the 8 speed transmission hold up? Rear end, axles, drive shaft, etc? 

 

Thank you! All I've done other than the blower is an Elite Engineering E2X catch can and a Black Bear tune for the ECM. I'll be swapping to a 2015 TCM so I can tune the 8-speed transmission and I'm planning on doing water-methanol injection. I really think I'm going to stop there with the engine because it's plenty and it's all too easy to go down the rabbit hole with performance mods (if you do this mod then you have to do this mod which means you really should do this mod...you know how it is). After the engine mods I'm going to do a rear sway bar (maybe a front too) and some Calvert Caltracs for my traction bars. And then that's IT!!! But I'll have to get some new tires too =)

 

And to answer your questions about how everything is going to hold up. From what I've read, it's all going to hold up fine because what I've done is pretty conservative. It's low boost, no crazy cam, no headers, etc. KNOCK ON WOOD.

Had my oil changed, 27 point inspection, transmission fluid changed, and washed. Then we went to look at a few model houses.

2014 Sierra. Bought last fall and have been waiting all winter to put stuff on...

20x9 GEAR Alloy w/ 275/55/20 Atturo Trailblade XT’s. Lowered back 1” by removing the blocks. Added Bugguard and vent visors and mud-flaps. Nothing to crazy, but, I think it looks bad ass.

More information on the to swap. I have a 17 with a 6.2 8 speed.

So, I can FINALLY let the cat out of the bag now that Black Bear and a few others have posted that they are doing the TCM swap (well sort of...Black Bear won't be doing too many swaps because the cost of a T87 is really high).

 

Many months back I tried to let people know that Chuck at Corvettes of Westchester (COW) could tune a 2017 8-speed with EFILive without having to send it to HPTuners, but I couldn't saw how he was doing it. Well, now you know. It was actually quite sad that everyone bashed Chuck when he said he could do the tune. He was way ahead of the curve and people bashed him just because they didn't know what he knew.

Took these off and replaced with pro tuning labs chrome headlamps that have the less that turn amber when signaling.

They fit great.

downside is my morimoto hid kit would not work as the new lights use an h11 bulb.

also added an aftermarket Denali grille

fitment looks great head on but when looking at the side you see a small gap.

will post more pics tomorrow 

sorry pic is upside down.

Well it’s taken a solid month but my sheet metal crew finally finished my custom skid plate. Made out of 24 gauge stainless steel, type 304. This design is meant to look just like the SDHQ skid plate and come in way under budget :)

It’s made out of one piece of flat metal, bent and cut to fit. Weight about 10-20 lbs. Tow hooks cutouts and all, every edge has a hem on it. Got the truck up to about 95+ MPH and not one noise on the highway.

Made 1 small mock-up, 1 test mock up out of 26 gauge galvanized metal, and then this final.

I scrubbed it down last night with a metal brush, primed, and painted flat black. Blends in nicely. Best $100 I’ve ever spent. Beats the $500+ prices I’ve seen out there.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
