Lots of people have that device, your truck your choice. Can't blame you a bit.

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.

Found an hour of free time yesterday and installed GM - Illuminated Door Sills. Love the way they look! Of course, made a how to video. The box didn't come with instructions and tried searching he

I forgot to take pics of the floor in the back seat, But I used 8mm dynomat in the back of the cab/floor. Super easy and cheap. Longest part of the installation was stripping everything out.

Installed a Range AFM disable device. Now before I get beat up for not getting a tuner, I am still under warranty AND I don’t know enough about them. I wanted something that can’t be found by the dealer. Now with that out of the way...it was soooo nice to use all 8 gears without going into V4 once. Should have bought this the day I bought truck. I verified this is the latest version 8.6R1 purchased from Range. $199 with $10 off and free Priority USPS mail.

Just asking or of curiosity, why would you not want to use v4? I believe in to each his own, just wondering what the advantage is to using this...

Great pick. That will keep you away from

the common issues. Make sure you still check the VLOM filter and change your oil religiously. Nice!!!

I chose this for a couple of reasons. 1) I hate the AFM lifter issues commonly associated with this “fuel saving” technology. 2) I prefer the sound of my V8 vs it trying to be a V4 in sheep’s clothing. 3) I like that I can remove it for any dealer visit without it leaving a trail. 4) It allows me to utilize all 8 gears vs using L7 for reasons 1, 2 and 3 above. 5) It seems (although I don’t have many miles using it yet) the engine is never “lugging along “ like it did the few times I actually had transitioned into V4 mode, this could just be my perception of it all. 6) The transition from V8 to V4 and back to V8 was like a human being experiencing a heartbeat irregularity, might not be fatal but then it could be. Finally) Because I spent good money on a Borla ATAK cat-back exhaust system and it sounds like garbage when it went into V4 mode. I do thank you for asking in a very adult, respectful  way ?

Changed plugs and wires , new low beam bulbs.

Note... removing fender liner makes it much easier changing the plugs n wires. . Especially if truck is lifted .?

Plugs looked decent..70K miles..

Which plugs and wires did you use? AC Delco or another brand?

Installed footwell LED's today, replaced my headlight bulbs, ( passenger side high beam was out). The one on the passenger side is a PIA since you need to remove the air filter box to get at it.  Also installed an Airaid intake tube.

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yes.   Yes.   We might be intermingling ideas with the term 'severity', in one of my past vehicles it could pull up DTC via the vehicles own user interface, at any given time when one would do this there would be an assortment of codes that were 'trivial' including 'communication' issues. This would generate a bunch of, potentially false alerts or some many that they would get ignored. Which you mentioned earlier.    You also mention several things that might be redundant with the vehicles own systems or indicators: The truck has an oil pressure gauge, monitoring it via this other system wouldn't be a priority except in comparison to other values or if there is an actual oil pressure problem.   Same thing for miss-fires or other problems, the MIL already signals the operator to an issue...   ...to the point about what one wants to see first, if there is a miss fire detected, I want to see miss fire counts or fuel trims first, if I have an oil pressure problem I want to see the oil pressure first. So, perhaps the 'systems' that are showing abnormalities are what gets displayed first.   I think your device is what connects at the OBD port, ease of use for the consumer, it could still have a 'pass-through' port for a second scanner, computer, etc.   Yes.   Based on my comment above, if an error appears, the report would be more specific to the system having an error.

      I like the idea.  I thought about putting a deposit a few years ago when they first dropped.  I still want to drive one and have inquired about doing this with them, like a ride and drive event they said they are coming but it hasnt happened even with them built in Indiana.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      That's a tough spot to be in, I personally would question spending 1/2 the book value on a repair vs. selling it as-is.    Presuming you own it out right, sell it for 10k and have a down payment for a replacement truck, or spend 10k on the one you already have...   I still think there is a cheaper transmission out there via recyclers, aftermarket or rebuild. (Cheaper than 5k for the unit)

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Sadly, there's a drought of good 92-95 4.3 cars at junkyards in the area otherwise I would have gone fishing for parts. Not that they don't come up, there's just nothing good in the yards right now.   I tore into the intake yesterday evening, easier than I thought, and I might have this problem licked for cheap. Two of the intake studs came up with the bolt on removal, no big deal but that's why it looks funny with studs only on one side.   There's pooled gas on both sides of the plenum. Highlights boxed in green. Picture-right side has an obviously split pressure line from rubbing on the #5 injector nylon line. #5's line is worn in that spot but not all the way through. Passenger side intake (picture left), not sure, but I think the pressure regulator is hosed. Rebuilt spiders don't come with the pressure and return hoses so I'll need to replace those no matter what. A pressure regulator is $30 so I'll try that and if I end up having to swap the whole spider, it was $30. I'll be grinning ear to ear if that's all I need.   Parts arrive Tuesday.   Sure enough the shop was here before. That's a new gasket. Vacuum lines and wiring are a tangled mess, I sorted that out last night as well. Spent about an hour just picking up general slack and shoddy reassembly around the engine bay. Cheek-pokered the battery tray, got it all cleaned up. Sometimes things just need a little elbow grease and a few minutes of time to be right again.
