Hauled (30) 2x4x10' and 6 sheets of plywood. Everytime I haul something, I think to myself, how do people live without a truck :thumbs:5e7cb9a73d83ae4d50e6918983f966a1.jpg

You should’ve asked that dude loading up plywood in that SUV in the background. ???

That's just a truck with an enclosed bed lol! He got 2 pieces of plywood laid down flat in that thing.

Every time I had a stack of 2x4s running next to my head onto the dashboard and out the lift gate window I thought to myself “how do people live without a truck” so I sold the suv and got a truck. lol

Great looking truck. How much noise do those light pods on the hood make?

 

Thank you. I didn't notice any difference in noise when I installed them.

+1. And what brand? How much light project onto the hood?

The brackets are from t-rex the pods are from Rigid. When I had the flood pattern pods on there it was a ton of light on the hood, i swapped them out for a set of hyper spots and now there is very little light on the hood.

Thanks for the response. Damn it. I got the flood Rigids also..... sigh. By any chance you have pictures of them on at night from the driver seat? Either the floods or the hyper spot. Thank you

I ended up mounting the floods under the rear bumper for aux lights. I don't have any pictures on hand. I will take some tonight on the way home

Gave window tinting a shot a for the first time and did the front windows.  Used 20% to try and match the rear but I think the stock tint is slightly lighter.

Letting it camp out and dry in the garage since its like -10°c outside.

Any rubbing with your setup?

A very slight rub when I'm reversing and have the wheels cracked all the way to the left

The first 2 are with just the low beams. The third is just the pods. This is also looking thru my windshield that is tinted.

    • Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-
    • Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.     
    • I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
    • I do too. I’ll never be stuck again 😂
    • It has happened to me a few times. I carry a jumpstart-tire inflator with me.
