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.

Saturday, I put the 2x12 back in the bed of my truck, and made a HazWaste run.

Yeah…. In person it sounds more like .22 rounds but a bit louder. The cold start map (44 degrees and below) is a bit off… that and possibly worn spark plugs…. It’s been like 15k.

How difficult was that?

Peel and stick. 

 

Pulled the rear view mirror trim piece, a pillar trim and fuse panel trim and ran the usb power wire to the usb port in the glove box for switched power. Installed the app and connected up. 

 

Made a quick vid if you want to check it out.

My speakers aren't very good, I couldn't tell if that was your cats or sous chef.

you can get a 12v dc to 5v usb adapter online and then all you have to do is run it straight up to the airbag light which is switched 12v power. no need to do all that extra work. normally you could also just tap into the mirror harness but on these trucks there is only 10v to the mirror so you just have to go up a smidge further.

After growing to increasingly dislike it, I reversed the airbox mod (opening up the side of the air filter box) after work a few days ago.  Between 1-2k RPM under medium load, the truck elicited a groan; not a drone or intake sound, but a vibrating groan of disappointment and loathing.  I never checked the fuel trims out of laziness, but my idle dropped and the truck had a low-idle-RPM miss; nothing major, but just enough to hear on the exhaust note.  Across the cold heart of winter, my fuel economy also took a major dump, so as a follow-up to the air-box-mod experiment, I reversed it.  I found the old intake flange and welded it back to the removal box-plate, and reattached.  The groan went away, as did a little bit of exhaust sound (both wins), but an apparent loss of throttle response too.

 

On the way to work yesterday, my fuel economy rose by 1 full mpg on the 50-mile-average DIC display in only the first 4 miles, on a sub-freezing cold start and open-loop warm-up.  By the end of the day and 30 out of those 50 miles, fuel economy went from 11.7-15.0 mpg.  After another 15 miles this morning, the 50 mile average is up to 15.7 mpg, and still climbing.  The ride home today will be enough to erase the airbox-mod miles from the calculation; I bet I see over 16 by the end of the day.  Returning the airbox to its factory state also raised my idle by ~100rpm, which smoothed out the idle considerably.  The exhaust note is more audibly appealing when cruising.

I installed the Boost Auto Parts folding tow mirrors today.
Temporarily deleted my tow mirror cams because I can't figure out how to run the cam wires.
I think it takes an entire mirror disassembly.
Anyway, here it is ... sorry about the audio, ...

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
