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.

I put 'em on Friday night but, finally finished cleaning the truck up this morning.. My Silverado is now ready for all formal occasions with black bow ties... I used these aluminum powder coated ones from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075MX1N8T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

Easier than removing the entire emblem... IMG-3164.thumb.JPG.4724e87161302103a5dd70b412d591ed.JPG

I also put a black carbon fiber sticker over the gold emblem on the steering wheel... Now I need to decide if I want to black out the bow ties on the rims...

 

Truck still looks pretty good for 3-1/2 years and 70k miles...

 

Next plans are:


Remove and paint running boards matte black.

 

Truxedo Sentry Tonneau cover, just not happy with the tonnopro hard fold fit and finish...

I got a cold air intake, told myself it’s to save a little money on gas... me 2 seconds later slamming the pedal ever time the light goes green because I like the sound

I was thinking the same.... I played all weekend with lead foot. Time to drive normal and see what my increase will really be.

Finished welding up my dual lighting exhaust. It’s a speed engineering true dual dump exhaust modified to exit on the side. I also welded in 8” flowmaster metal substrate 200 CPI cats after the x-pipe just to refine the sound a little and now it sounds perfect. It’s still really aggressive, loud and deep but now it sounds much cleaner and more refined. 3f7dc0b31dbb50ed2daab5f6f9b004a0.jpg

What are your suspension and tire specs? Love the look!

Installed a bull bar this weekend, I think it came out good. Only downside that I didn't think about was the front parking sensors. Now I need to get a relocation kit or keep turning them off whenever I drive! cc328c93a49f15a67be6d180c9449028.jpg

How much lift do the shock settings net? And do you have any rubbing with those size tires?

About 1.5” lift in the front. When the tires were brand new, the sidewall lugs on the tire rubbed the driver’s side sway bar at full lock when turning left. If I was 10 degrees shy of full lock, nothing rubbed. Now, I don’t notice any rubbing. Not sure if it’s from my most recent alignment or if the lugs wore down but I haven’t noticed any rubbing in months.

Did an oil change and cleaned my air filter. While I was taking the air filter out, I remember seeing it somewhere on here about cutting out a hole for the air box. So I took my drill and a cutting bit out and went to town.
Also drilled some holes on my drain plug.... but broke my only bit after 2 corners.... so don’t judge me on the position of the safety wire spot.

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

      By richard wysong · Posted

      I had an 88 K1500 with a 5.7 that had those symptoms, I know totally different, it ended up being the ECM. Once you get the fuel system fixed if it still runs lousy you may want to investigate that. it didn't set any codes, stalled ,ran rough at times etc

      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-

      OCI, not when but why?

      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.
