I finally got new meat! The BFG tk02s were great and lasted over 60k miles. So far these Falken wild peak at3w’s have been great. I have noticed that they make much less noise than the BFG.

What wheels are those! That's exactly what I'm looking for!

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.

.."blacked out" the front orange signal lights with perforated black vinyl.. gives it the tinted look but still passes all the light thru..

LOL.. I had thought about rigging up an Arduino with mp3 to play that to replace the door open chime.. but the wife would never go for that!.. good thing she keeps me from going too far (yes that has happened in the past :))

I bought my 17 gmc sierra with 8k miles on it. The previous owner had a bed liner in it. So I pulled it out today and now I know why. I have a white truck. The entire bed of the truck had red paint or epoxy on it. Aways, took me 6 hours with a body eraser and 3 cans of brake cleaner to get it all off.

 

After that I replaced the red gmc emblem on the grille with a black and white to match the truck and wheels. Well, let's just say I had a better time with the bed of the truck. Gmc really put that grille on so you had to work to take it off. Unfortunately,  I'll have to do it again when i replace the grille with the denali grille i want but cant afford right now.

.. taking bc-chris' suggestion a little further (the startup animation may be fun) does anyone here happen to already know the developer code for the 18 mylink for the build version below? I didn't find anything useful on developer.gm.com

edit.. it doesn't appear that this is easily done on the 17/18 versions

I found out you can change the background on the super duty, I was really hoping you could here but sadly it doesn't seem to be easy, although anything is possible with enough money time and skill I guess.

.. well it doesn't happen often.. but I had to bow to my wife's better judgement today :P. I decided to wrap the pillars between the doors as I was positive it would look better (maybe I'm just conditioned to believe that from looking at my F150) but she was right.. before and after pics.. stood back looked at it.. then agreed and removed the wrap

Drove my son and I to church, wife and daughter had to head in early.  Then after church, my son and I went and filled it up for the first refuel, grabbed some Burger King, went to the automated car wash (first bath), and drove home.

.. hitting 0 for 2 today.. began wrapping my silver interior trim with carbon fiber vinyl.. got the passenger side vent trim done and decided there just wasnt enough contrast to the black dash and went back to original silver.

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
