Installed custom made Z71 red and black MGP brake caliper covers today.  Gives my 2018 midnight a nice pop of color to tie the tail lights and badge all together with the extra red.

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

Used $18 CDN Amazon TPMS tool to teach the new pressure sensors in my winter rims. Worked great!

that would come in handy. I have to remember to ask the dealer to do mine, as one front and rear are mixed on the display.

Those are pretty slick.  By "custom made" did you make them yourself or get them somewhere?  If you got them I'd be interested in some additional info please.

Put on Husky mud guards. Rear fitment is spot on. Front fitment is off just a tad, but worked out. No drilling. No taking off tires. Although I had to jack up the rear end at the hitch so my ratchet would clear the tire. All in all, not bad and I’m happy with how they look.

You put in your model info then you pick your colors and designs and you can even upload your own image or use custom text.  Front and backs can also be different.

Where’d you get it?  I don’t like the one that came in my ‘18, and plan on swapping it out for a ‘14-‘16.

What don't you like about the 2018 Console ?  Upper trim pieces are available in different trim colors if you want to change the look.

 

I got mine locally off of Craigslist so had no choice of options. It has the fixed cup holder and I'll be exploring options to change it to the movable one soon.

 

No matter what for me it beats the heck out of the center jump seat !

The fixed cup holder.  In my ‘15, I was able to move the cup holder, so I could put my CB and scanner in the deep hole under it, the aft position.

Score a free zero turn today, got it running in about 10 minutes. Also borrowed a rental aerator from work. Nice working for a company that also does small engine repair. Truck didn't even know that stuff was on the trailer. Love how the turn downshifts earlier than normal when in tow/haul, sounds awesome with the borla exhaust.2a73118c998a85ae27a914f15c2e200c.jpg

Understand that. It's a huge wasted space on the later trucks. Upper trim is easy to replace with on eff off Ebay for about 90 bucks. Add the moveable cupholder form the source of your choice and be done with it.  That's what I'll be doing soon.

Went to my in laws to aerator their yard. Went in to talk to them and came outside to find a tree had fallen across the road. We had very strong winds here in central IL today. So I got the tow strap out and pulled it out of the road. By the time the county road guy showed up, we had the tree pushed of to the side of the road. 919a49f8d51e294003b0c09da749f451.jpg

Yes, it was extremely windy in IL today. When I saw the preview of your reply it left me wondering if a tree fell on your truck. Glad that wasn’t the case!

      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

      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.

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

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
