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.

Looks good! Do you have a wide shot of the door badges? I did my bow tie emblems and debating on doing the letters as well.

What trim level and year is your truck? It looks nice but I alway find it interesting how many here add upper level trim features to trucks. Wonder at what cost and if would be better off just buying the truck with the factory features desired. Particularily when it comes to warranty and resale.

I have a 15 LT. doing what I did saved me thousands just for the next trim level higher. Makes sense to me to spend a few hundred dollars compared to a couple thousand or so

Got my water filter installed and FINALLY washed the damn thing. It’s so nice being able to wash it and pull it in a garage to dry. I got about half the truck clayed. Lol

1. There was a $10K Price difference in the higher trim. If I would have gotten and LTZ, I would have removed a lot of chrome (yes, I could have gotten color matched - but that meant more $) to make it how I wanted. I also wouldn’t have had the need for the innovative ideas for the various products I now offer to the community.

 

2. It’s fun to make it your own.

 

3. I’ve been able to offset the cost of most upgrades by selling the stuff I took off, to almost being in an even state.

 

4. I’ve met a lot of people (some in person too) and helping many, many others perform some of the upgrades you see posted here.

 

5. I was told by many - “It couldn’t be done”. Lol. ^^ That should have been the #1 reason :)

I have well water with a lot of iron so I wanted a filter for the sediment. I can change out the charcoal filter too to soften the water if I want later too. The filter was brand new and white. I washed my mower and truck and that’s what it filtered out so far.

Where did you get the cover between the power bank/phone rack and cupholders?  That's nice to take some of the depth out of that console hole. 

eBay! To be honest I should have just cut it out of ABS myself.

This is the same stuff...you just have to cut it yourself.

Nothing new just cleaned it up for the rain. Debating on putting billet grille insert back in and removing lower valance. Opinions?35a2b8fcdc4bf2ddc8b46b29113560cb.jpg

Go back a couple pages on this thread. I did a full breakdown on my cost to upgrade from a stock LT to a fully loaded LTZ with OEM & aftermarket parts.

It was way cheaper to do it this way based on what LTZ items I wanted.

14 Silvy I rather like the look with the valance in place.  Just me but truck looks unfinished without it IMO.  As for the billet grille if it does not require permanent modification do it otherwise hold off.  Guy who manages the used car department of local Chevy dealer said they deducted at least $750 or more on trades with billet grille.   Not everybody likes the look and even at cost they are not inexpensive to revert back to stock.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
