Hello All,

I got my truck back in January and have done some tinkering here and there but havent been able to throw up any pictures until this last week so I thought Id add to this thread to show off what Ive done so far.

Threw on some N-Fab side steps

5% tint in rear, 20% on front two windows, and 5% eyebrow

tailgate badge removal 

the bilstein 5100 suspension swap which leveled it out within 1/2" and allowed me to mount my 33" nitto ridge grapplers.

Installed a flowmaster super 10 series and had it dumped right before the rear axle. 

Ronin Factory stubby  antenna 

Frame Hole Plugs 

Bed rail plugs 

WeatherTech Floor Mats

S&B Cold air Intake

I ordered my gorecon blacked out LED tail lights for trucks that have factory LED's and they should be in by today!! 

Also have my 3M vinyl to black out the red on the Z71 badges just havent gotten to it yet. 

I still need to order the Bakflip folding bed cover. Also want to do a full grille swap and install the TREX x series. 

Also need to get the black powder coated SDHQ skid plate to do the full airdam removal(removed lower portion already).

Front  facing turn signals on tow mirror would be great.  How did the install go?  Love to do that as well.  

Here is what they look like.

Assuming you already have tow mirrors fully functional, this harness will change the behavior of the running light and will make it Dual Function as a running light and a turn and signal.

It’s $125 shipped anywhere in the US. PM me for more info or to order.

I am working exhaustively to get my website built but trying to fill all orders as well.

Do you have a part number, or name of the Pelican phone case?

Pelican Protector.

I got mine on Amazon. Its actually cheaper now at $29.56. It doesn't sit perfectly flat on the charger because of the size of the phone/case. Only charges if the top of the phone is facing the dash because of the way it sits. Just wanted you to be aware incase you buy the case and then say it doesn't fit perfectly. Here's some pics.4d5da6a29cb13480f9d8c5af0a6c8468.jpg3e86bf4390583decee05ad7588de70c9.jpgf62d0c3c0d58e28eaa21364c5791045f.jpg3772b7fc78a4c3edddef5333f85a2f97.jpg

Thank you for the information, the pictures are a great help as well. Very cool if you to take time and do this...

That's crazy.  My regular S10 seems to be too wide for my charging tray, even without a case.  Certainly not with my fairly slim case.

 

Maybe I need to monkey with the position a bit more.

I know I'm opening a can of worms but there is/was a person out there selling larger plastic trims. They are black cnc pieces that are smooth and perfect. At the time I didnt need it now I do.

There is a "hidden" abs plastic cover you can buy cheap for the huge pocket in front of the cupholders then buy a good wireless chargers and hardwire it to cigarette port. Mount charger pad to underside of plastic.
Faster charger and charges everything that is wireless and is easy install. I like the phone up front more anyways.

Got my extra grill back from the painter. Planning to put it on tomorrow. Midnight Denali.CC231C8A-797F-432D-A1A9-47BCA514B718.thumb.jpeg.47bf3367213e79b1660289f980167e7d.jpeg

Not much. Just an oil change and took everything out of the bed today. Getting a yard of mulch to tackle the flower beds this weekend.

    • Looks tight. Not a lot of working room. Hows yous knuckles?
    • 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?
