Had the tires mounted and balanced on the new wheels. Front end alignment done. I should have the rear blocks and Bilstein shocks installed tomorrow. My friends truck is in the background with Mcgaughys lift and 35’s.

Hauled this precious cargo home for the first time from the NICU after 40 days!   Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

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

2” lift blocks and Bilstein 5100 shocks went on the back end today. It has a nice stance front to back now in my opinion. Wheels are 20x10 Havok H112 with -24 offset. Tires are Atturo Trailblade MT 33x12.5

let's see installed the drivers side o-****** handle
got a wheel back that was bent and fixed now
routed my bass control knob under the steering column and somehow disconnected a wire on the alarm
drove over to the alarm shop to get that fixed and on the way back I decided to take her up about 110 to see if my vibration is gone from the wheel being bent and it is 90% gone

in the process sped by a highway patrol and promptly received a ticket for 70 in a 65 (lol, he was cool about it after I explained I was "checking for vibration")

I guess I got the correct one, I initially ordered it off of Amazon but after waiting a couple weeks for it to finally ship they somehow screwed that up and it got returned before it ever arrived and after I waited another week I called and finally got a refund the next day so I just ordered it off ebay for like $3 more and it arrived in about 3 days. :) I figure it may come in handy sometime after the lift is installed

Putting feelers out there on selling my truck. Any interest here?

KBB private party books it at $41k in the top end. $39k midrange.

2016 LT - 1500, 5.3 V8 - 39K miles. Options added to be considered an LTZ.

I was about to suggest to do something to accent the curves of the hood.  THAT WORKS!!!

Im thinking this matte black wrap on my truck would have a very cool murdered look.

2 Qs:

 

1) Should I (and others) be nervous that you're selling this? Changing careers?

2) How in the world do you only have 39K miles on that thing? Now you got me thinking I should sell my 2015 (with 81K). :0)

1. No sir. The used truck market is crazy for me not to consider selling. This will also allow my to focus new developments on T1XX trucks :). Will continue to support products and services on K2XX.

2. Truck sits in the driveway and I work from home. :). This ain’t no pavement princess. More like a driveway Queens ;)

Got a bunch of parts in, still need to order long tubes, and find a valve spring compressor that isn’t 100 dollars plus lol. Anyone have a used one they no longer need before I machine one?

Did you have problems with the 6.2 ?  Or are you just upgrading and getting rid of the AFM ?

That truck is going to be awesome! Looks exactly how my table would look if I had the money.

Just like the suspension, I got a hell of a deal on the parts.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      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?🤔

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      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.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      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?
