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

Today I started on swapping my front struts.  Im removing the oem's with the strut spacer and replacing with lifted struts.  What a pain in the ass it is to remove these things.  The front axle/CV sits right on top of the lower strut mounts and its a pai to get the mounting screw out.  Had to remove the CV to get it out of the way.  3hrs to do the passenger side and about 10 minutes to do the drivers lol.  Then my spring compressor just didn't have enough grunt to compress the spring enough so now I gotta run everything up to a shop and see if I can get them to swap springs for me.  Hopefully finish up the install tomorrow morning

I've made some of my own changes to these bumpers to make them function more like stock. When you see the changes, you will know...

Thanks! It's got Amp Steps. The main reason I got them was because they dont show.

You could go to your local auto parts store and rent a spring compressor for free (security deposit that gets refunded) that should be able to do the job. Or you can see how much the shop charges to avoid the hassle all together

That’s the spring compressor I used but I didn’t need to rent one as I already owned one. The springs on the truck are just to thick. I cranked on them things with my impact and the psi cranked up to 120psi and it still wasn’t enough to compress them far enough to get the top but loose. Plus the compressor rod started to bend and I didn’t want it to break while compressed. That would have sucked. So I ended up running the oem and new struts up to the local garage on the way to get my kids from school. They got a real heavy duty floor press spring compressor up there and are gonna swap springs for me in the morning for $50. Hopefully have everything back together in the morning

SDHQ A-pillar install video posted up. Sort of shocked with the amount of grinding I needed to do to get these to fit right but once it’s all said and done, I’m happy with the brackets and where they locate my lights.

Part 2 coming soon of my OZ led pods with amber DRL’s.

      OCI, not when but why?

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
