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

No, here is a link to their FAQs. I put my old one in a little ziplock baggie just in case this ever failed on me, it’s sitting in the bottom of my center console with the gas can funnel/adaptor and wheel lock key. It was $30 and change so I’m good with it being a one time deal.

***One nice thing is let’s say you have two or three locks (they have several types of locks available) or even 10! Like an RV that uses one of these and 3 paddle locks, one on tongue latch, one on utility trailer ramp and one on an exterior tool box, well if they are all BOLT locks, you only need 1 key for all 4 locks ?

Yea, I have a collection of them too. Someone has to know how to rekey the damn things, I have the hitch pin, and locks, mostly because my Chevy's get bought back every 2 years.

Your flairs are very subtle I like that! Where did you find them? I ended up having line x spray my wheel wells and fender flairs on because I didnt want anything to obnoxious sticking out.

His whole truck is subtle and very tastefully done. Being a Sierra owner, I took the fender flairs for granted but now realize the Silverado normally doesn’t have them. I like his truck a lot...I love my Summit white but if there had been a Sierra on the dealers lot in that color, I’m not so sure I’d have white lol

Finally got the windows tinted. 5% all around, 35% full windshield and 5% sun strip.

Have paint matched door handles and mirror caps waiting to go on when the rain stops. As well as hid’s from headlight revolution.

It’s getting leveled with Fox 2.0 front coil-overs and 2.0 rear shocks. Then the 33x12.50x20 Kenda Klever RT’s go on.

Thanks.  That's what I was going for.  The fender flares and the +1 offset on the wheels give it a just enough wider stance that I like.

 

Flares are GM Part No. 84007564.  I used my chevy rewards discount to get them from the dealer.  The box they come in is huge so getting them at the dealer saved some shipping costs.

Looks good, but I gotta ask why tint the windshield? I know obviously it’s to block the sun. Is it even legal? I have zero desire to do so since I like to see where I’m going. It’s a trend that I’ve noticed is increasing in popularity. Just seems hilariously dangerous.

I had my old Impala tinted at legal levels and hated going anywhere after dark. I can’t imagine having the windshield tinted as well.

While it looks great, here in Florida that’ll get you pulled over and impounded...unless you can strip it off in front of the LE. They’re pretty forgiving here as most every FHP has limousine black on their sides and back but they’d get ya for that. Reminds me of the 58 Plymouth in Christine and it looked bada$$ too but probably wasn’t easy to drive at night...still the truck looks great!!

110% for privacy.

Legal, no, on a federal level supposedly, as I was told by a sheriff deputy I seen at a gas station leaving Orlando Fl in my wife’s suburban (same exact tint). He didn’t hassle me, just said if the whole thing is tinted that it could be a $160 fine and he left.

Can I see through it to safely drive at night? Yes.

Though it is a little tricky backing up at night out in the country. But I’m more than used to it by now. Every vehicle I’ve had for the last 15 years has been tinted the exact same. And nothing but a warning so far legally.

As far as I’m concerned, no one else needs to be able to see inside my vehicle what so ever.

Set in one like this and you wouldn’t be able to tell the whole windshield is even tinted. It’s only 35%. Seems clear from the inside.

Your engine bay looks great. Wonder if that cover is available for the 6.2? Now worries on me stealing your badge idea, I don’t play that way! Love Star Wars but not into outright thievery ?...maybe put Sierra and something more personal where your ST is...maybe the Oregon “O” ?

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      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

      By davester · Posted

      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.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

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