I've had the truck a little over a week and so far I've added:

 

Undercover Lux Elite bed cover

Tinted front windows

Flowmaster exhaust

Range AFM delete

Debadged tailgate and Z71 stickers

 

This Saturday I will be getting remote start installed and vinyl wrapping the bowties.

I could be wrong, but, I think he means the light bar that mounts in the bed. Makes the truck look like my old Avalanche.

Not a thing lol.

 

Dropped it off at the dealer Monday to have the TC replaced. Called me late Monday to say it wouldnt be ready until Tuesday. Called late Tuesday to tell me the TC was finished however they broke an exhaust clamp that is very fancy and had none to replace with, so they had to bring it in from Montreal :shakehead:. Hope to have it in and installed today. sigh.

Finally put some deadener on the transfer case module to quiet down that high pitch I can hear in 4wd auto. Not pretty, but hopefully it works. I’ll test it on the way to work in the morning.

Drove the truck in auto 4x4 today. The high pitched noise is 70% gone!  Makes a huge difference if anyone is experiencing the same noise.

Installed a Bully CR-007A Tail/Brake Light Hitch Cover, after I modified it to only be a Brake Light.  Unfortunately, I had to add a 12" 4-wire extension to reach the 4-pin socket.  This little modification could have been as easy as just cutting the brown wire, but I wanted both elements in the bulb to light up when the brakes are applied.  Took a little bit of work, but I was able to get it done.  I'm going to rewrite the instructions and all in my photo album, soon.

Got it home from the dealer. Torque Converter replacement done and shes butter smooth now. 

 

However I got in this am and no headlights. wtf? pop hood, start looking at the hid kit, and I see the dealer must have unhooked the battery cables and never hooked the neg back up to the hid kit. sigh. Grab a wrench, quick install and I have headlights again :D

.. decal comes as a pair.. I was also considering placing them on the valve covers but didn't think they would last there so the engine cover won and I have extra for a license plate frame

Installed chrome horizontal grill bars from 2015 LTZ Z71 Custom Edition. I re-used my chrome grill surround.

    • 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?🤔
    • 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.
    • 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?
