How did the install go? Any pointers? Going to be installing a 7 inch lift on my 15



The install wasn’t bad. The direction aren’t the greatest. Just take your time. Are you doing a knuckle lift? 7 and 5 aren’t big of a difference. If you get stuck, let me know. I can walk you through 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.

@Daly Love that RCMB. I don't know how but they were going for MUCH more when I bought my CCSB. Guess they just didn't have enough RCs to justify the discounts like on the CCs.

Not really something "I" did to the truck but hey may as well post.

 

Went to do a little local camping with my lady and the pups this weekend. Got a spot right on the river to do a little fishing as well. Decided to take the pups out on a little hike when we came back from the trail to this:

Some **** took a rock and smashed my window, dented the door-pillar real good and stole my ladys purse. Had her wallet credit cards and mil ID. Purse was stuffed under the seat but I guess they saw part of it or the strap. Sad thing was it wasn't even a nice purse, it was some army-navy OD bag and there was like $10 cash in it.

 

Happened Sat mid morning and insurance won't get someone out to look at it till Monday/Tuesday and told me not to drive it. So weekend is kind of a bust.

 

Moral to the story is that it pays to have a place to stash valuables WAY out of sight. Under the front seat is no longer an option.

Im hoping this wasn’t anywhere around JBLM but if so the amount of homeless MFr around here I’m not surprised.  Sorry man.

My sister had her car windows smashed and purse stolen when she was parked at a trail head in a city park. The cop that responded to her call stated that this happens all the time. Sleaze bags are watching these areas and know that a woman NEVER goes anywhere without her purse. If a women leaves her car for a walk and doesn't have her purse with her the dirt bags know it is in the car.

I have sympathy to the unavoidably homeless but if this incident was done by a homeless person then his/her home should be a jail cell.  An individual with the skill to stalk campers and execute a robbery like this is definitely capable of working.

That really sucks Penguin.  Jeez a person can't let their guard down at all these days. Hope your truck gets fixed alright and that your lady gets her IDs and Credit Cards taken care of.

Yeah, honestly never even gave second thought about it. Always an out of sight out of mind thing. Crazy thing is they didn't take anything else. I had a black backpack in the rear and a hard drive, few nice knives and multi tool all in the center console within easy view. They didn't touch a thing except the purse.

 

Really gives you paranoia about security for your truck. Even with an alarm it only works if there is someone around to hear.

Not doing the knuckle lift. Didn’t like that I had to cut the transfer case.

      I hope to high heaven this is wrong. My Chevy farm trucks frame is lasting way longer than a newer Nissan Titan XD I got for a steal, and it only pulls trailers. A decade younger and it's frame is already way rustier than the waxed Chevy I drive across longs and ditches. Also, hasn't Ford been having tones of troubles with rusted frames?

      Batteries don’t always show signs of a few years ago my vehicle started fine in the morning and took me to work. After work the battery was completely dead and I needed a jump. No, I didn’t leave anything on and the battery was only a couple months old. It was replaced under warranty.

      AFM is confirmed in the Corvette engine, so I'm assuming the higher volume trucks will get it as well

      If his battery was that bad I would think it would have been showing signs before this that were ignored. Stinks that it happened the way it did in rush hour traffic, but this seems like a pretty fringe scenario. I don't mind it that bad and never turn it off. The only slight annoyance for me is the slight delay between brake to gas, but I have gotten used to it and figure if it can save a little gas why not.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a good correction. I think “severity” was probably the wrong word for what I meant. What I really mean is closer to event priority, relevance, and actionability — not “this code is severe” or “replace this part.” I agree that a truck can have a lot of trivial or historical communication codes, and if the product starts pushing alerts for every stored or low-value event, people will ignore it very quickly. So the alert logic would need to be filtered. For example, I would not want a random old communication code to generate a push notification by itself. A useful alert would probably need to be based on things like: - new vs historical - active vs stored - repeated vs one-time - duration of the event - whether it happened near the driver-marked symptom - whether it happened together with voltage drop, reset, bus-off, misfire, oil-pressure change, etc. - whether the same pattern repeats under similar conditions So instead of saying “severity,” maybe the product should organize events by affected system and priority. For example: Misfire event: Show misfire counts / roughness first, then fuel trims, RPM/load, DFM/AFM state if available, coolant/oil temp, voltage, and related DTCs. Oil-pressure event: Show oil pressure first, but only in context — RPM, load, oil temperature, coolant temperature, DFM/AFM state if available, voltage, and baseline comparison. Communication event: Show which module/network/message dropped, whether voltage dropped, whether the recorder reset, whether it was active or historical, and whether it repeated. Voltage/reset event: Show battery voltage, crank/wake/sleep state, module reset, communication dropouts, and what came back online first. That also solves the display-order problem you mentioned. The main report should not always show the same fixed list first. It should show the system that appears abnormal first, and then the supporting values for that system. I also agree that the truck already has an oil pressure gauge and MIL. The point would not be to duplicate those. The value would be in showing what else was happening before and after the warning or symptom. For example, if the MIL comes on for a misfire, the truck already told the driver there is a problem. The useful part would be: - which cylinder or bank looked abnormal first - whether it happened after an AFM/DFM transition - whether fuel trims were already moving - whether oil pressure or voltage changed at the same time - whether the same pattern happened previously without a MIL On the OBD port point, I think you may be right for a consumer-facing version. OBD is much easier for the average owner: - easier install - easier removal - inside the cabin - easier phone connection - easier data download - easier to include a pass-through port for another scanner OBD is also the right place for DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration information, Mode 6, and normal scan-tool parameters. The reason I was looking at ECM-side recording is that some events may be gone by the time someone plugs in a scanner, and some powertrain-side network evidence may not be available the same way through the DLC. But I agree that if an OBD-based version can capture enough useful evidence for most owners, that is probably the cleaner consumer product. Maybe the split is: - OBD/DLC version for most consumers - ECM-side version only if it proves it adds evidence that the OBD version cannot get - shop/pro version if deeper powertrain-side event evidence is actually useful So I would not want to force the inline approach if the OBD workflow solves most of the real-world problem. Your last point is probably the key product requirement: the report should be specific to the system showing the abnormality. Not “here are 50 parameters.” More like: “Misfire-related event detected. Here are the misfire/fuel/DFM/context values.” or “Oil-pressure-related event detected. Here is oil pressure compared with RPM/load/temp/baseline.” or “Communication event detected. Here is what dropped, when, and whether voltage/reset happened first.” That is a much better way to think about the report.
