Nice:thumbs:.. makes you wonder when GM is going to catch up to the aftermarket crowd and start putting a reverse bulb in stock that you can actually see in the dark with vs an interior light bulb to let the squirrels know when it's time to move out of the way

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.

My truck came with the Active Grille Shutters...needless to say I removed them. No regrets. No loss in MPG. No CEL. No overheating issues. 

And how did you accomplish this??? Did you cut up the shutter system to leave the motor and stops in place?  I saw another member who trimmed the shutters to clear the light bar and left the rest in place.

Thanks to Phil, I upgraded from DL8 to DL3 mirrors. So excited to have turn signals now, in the last few weeks I've been almost nailed by several people just not paying attention as I go to change lanes. I doubt this the turn signals will help, but hoping it does if they don't pay attention to the turn lights on the tail lights.

Happened last week, but have been too busy to post. Lady blindly pulled out in front of me in an intersection in her little camry, as I was going through it. Luckily it was just me in the truck, and no one was hurt. Driving around this rental silverado just doesn't feel the same.

 

Now, waiting to hear for the full assessment of damages.

Hope you’re ok.

Same thing happened to my gmc, I’m lucky I got a write off.

BRING IT TO A GM DEALER WITH A BODY SHOP ONSITE don’t go to one of the insurance “preferred” body shops

your warranty will still be good and you don’t have to worry about them not using gm parts.

Thanks for the advice. I have USAA and this has been a concern of mine throughout this whole ordeal. Luckily since the Vehicle is so new, it's within the period where USAA will only fix it with OEM parts so I'm hopeful it ends up playing out that way. Also curious to see how the BDS components held up and the next steps regarding those.

 

Impact was primarily on the front, driver-side corner which seems to be a weak point for the frame. Just hope damage like that doesn't haunt me for the lifetime of the vehicle. Anxious to see what the estimate will be, would assume the write-off threshold will be ridiculously high given the truck is only 7 months old.

I would check if your state does diminished value claims.

Fortunately they do, already started that process against the other insurance company. From what I've seen though unless your in GA, the value of that claim is hard to prove, but we shall see how it all plays out.

I hardly hit the person and my frame bent, first shop said they could fix my truck so I took it to a gm dealer and they said it would cost more than 70% of the vehicle

10,000 miles on it.

Sadly in Ontario we have a dumb dumb law of no fault accident insurance meaning you can’t get the money back from lost value.

So I wanted the write off more than anything.

I had a company do an appraisal for me.  They sent a guy, and he took pics and measured the paint thickness.  They then sent me a complete report and diminished value appraisal. Cost me $350 for everything. The other guy's insurance ended up settling for around $4,500.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
