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.

Saw it Friday when I was at Cattleack BBQ.  It is clean for it not to be direct fit stuff, but not my taste at all.

Yeah front end look clean but I would of went with the 2019 Silverado front end or the Denali conversion, looks like they spent a lot of $$$$ I know it not cheap that’s for sure.

Got the partial xpel paint protection film today. Love the results.30bf4040fc9e5298b9ffa8da68185744.jpg025d121ce80d787705db1370e591e8e7.jpg0b89a3d0bc1c176e9002d7f1ec44a02b.jpg

What’s the turnaround time on getting the xpel applied? Does it have a lifespan?

I’m going to be doing paint correction on the whole truck soon, and I’m looking for some better protection out in the woods so I don’t have to go through this dance again anytime soon.

It’s a new realm for me, I’ve seen ceramic coating thrown around a lot too. Seems both have advantages and disadvantages. Any insights are welcomed.

My thoughts?

 

The fabricator was either drunk or grew up in the 50's !  ?

May want to check the pressures on your shocks. Icon over charges them and the seals blow. At less that was my experience with my 71555c’s I had. A couple of shocks rebuilders even recommended to drop them down to 220 psi of nitrogen.

I'm confused how your comment has anything to do with him complementing his new upgrades ? If he likes the ride quality where did you feel the need to comment how to negatively change that ?

Please update once you get a chance to test it out. I'm on the fence on getting a set of these.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
