Those fogs are nice, but not compatible with a ‘17 Sierra…different fog design. 
 

I looked at their site though, has anyone tried the LED Halos for a ‘16 to ‘18 Sierra? Can’t tell if I’d like them or not.

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.

For once I was happy to have the pre face lift Sierra solely for that reason haha. 

 

Diode makes some of the best quality lighting products I've seen, plus their customer support it top notch. I installed their switchback DRL boards when I did my headlight retrofit and have no complaints. They are extremely bright, sometimes I think they're on the verge of being too bright lol.

Haven't done much other than an oil change and tire rotation lately. Sitting at 40k on the trans fluid and filter, got everything on order to try and save this TC as long as I can.

 

Finally got my vinyl plotter setup and materials are slowly starting to trickle in. Had my first customer purchase GMC/Denali decals for his custom headlight retrofit company. They will be going on the corners for his 14-15 builds. If anyone needs anything custom, let me know!

Man I'm really itching to get those steps. Been on my "wants" mod list forever! Looks awesome 👍

 

Drove to the cabin with the wife this past weekend and explored some back roads after some fresh snow. Donuts and sliding around corners may have occurred from time to time..

How difficult was that?

I just installed a 4K front and rear cam.

It took a couple hours. Easy job.

Too many idiots that don't belong driving on the road not to have a setup like this.

I'm fixing to install my VanTrue N4 (forward, cabin, & rear), soon.  I just need to tear my cab up just a little bit to route everything.  The only hard part, that I see, is getting into the fuse box and the headliner.

 

I threw our Uniden "Witness" ($60) into our son's (use to be daughter's) Civic, took 10 minutes to route the USB cable to the DC outlet.  The only downside is that every 45-60 seconds it saves the last 45-60 seconds of video to the card and misses about 0.5-1.0 seconds each time.  BUT, this was our "use everywhere we go" dash cam.  Shortly after getting this vehicle (April 2021), my daughter got sideswiped getting onto the highway and changing lanes to pass the SLOW truck that got onto the highway in front of her.  B!TCH stopped, tried blaming my daughter, and left the scene (when her friend/co-pilot noticed that they left paint transfer on our Civic).  Even CHP speculated that they were doing 100 coming out of the construction zone (single lane, both directions, 55, NO PASSING, for 10 miles), and that's why my daughter never saw them until they collided.  (Beside the point:  It also happened on my daughter's first day on the job at BJ's, and the manager(s) were impressed, she didn't act like she was in an accident, and it was her 21st birthday weekend.)

 

HINT: Whether or not if you have a dashcam, take photos of the other vehicle(s) and driver(s), when you're in an accident (even if you're at fault) OR if you witness one (they may be shaken up enough to not think about it).

All the wires get tucked under the edge of the headliner.

My camera setup( Viofo Pro Duo 4K) came with a tool to push the wires under it. No removal needed.

Little late, but took this one leaving work the other day after getting quite a bit of snow. Drive home was effortless! 😄

That's what I did on my Civic, but I have a painted XM antenna that I want to put on my truck while I'm installing the dashcam.  Probably should have stated that.

Added some lights, Diode Dynamics SS3 pro fogs and some grill lights.  The light output on these fogs are insane.fogs.thumb.jpg.8fe264a1370c0aa58f39a92abff716ca.jpglights.thumb.png.aaf7999491ff111ad61179cf05ec2873.png1900874810_nightlights.thumb.jpg.618d0df4d64b7988a91ee2416502ad90.jpg

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!
