Gave it a good wash. It’s been about a month since the last wash. I hate washing this thing.

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

I was going to change out the stock rear block with a 2” block, then this crap is happening... supposed to get 10” by tonight.

Here is a pic of my truck.  I just upgraded the wheels to the 22x9 wheels to factory GM black wheels.  I also put new 305/40/22 tires with it.  It's s a 4x2 but gave it a little beefier look.  The final thing (with the help of Phil and his wiring harness) was put new leather out of a 2017 Special Ops edition Silverado that had been wrecked with only 1700 miles on it.  It's black carbon fiber with red stitching to match the red (Corvette Grand Sport) stripes I put on the truck.

What brand of tires did you put on?  I have the same wheels and want to go with the 305s instead of the stock 285s.

Smoked my tail lights and third brake lights
Leaving the reverse and top leds clear
I tinted, sanded, cleared, and polished them
They look good imoc270a7f8503ade35c26ec6e96183ba2c.jpgb3d20c0a88a5422a8839f62e71e22ed8.jpg

I used to use Royal Purple oil all the time. Good stuff, I may run that through the intake valves at 20K and I hope my catch can is doing it’s job! Might not be needed, I may borescope before I do it. Actually I will definitely do that before I do any cleaner and post pics good or bad after using a catch can.

I have a garage, but it’s too freakin cold! lol

You definitely have more snow than us, but we’re supposed to get about 18-24” in the next 2 days...we’ll see.

They are a brand called Radar.  Not too popular but a good tire with good reviews.  You can find them all over, I actually found them on Amazon for less than $200 a tire!

Got my LED tail lights installed from @alexg  

 

I am loving the look so far! Also today in the mail I got: PUTCO tailgate lightbar, Curt 7 to 4 pin addition T harness, and some LED strips for bed lighting. 2 days ago I got my DL8 to DL3 harness from @pgamboa so this weekend will be super busy for my truck!

Ok I got some comparison shots of one on each side for you. They look better in person IMO, but I’ll upload for what it’s worth. With LED reverse lights.

Has anyone upgraded their HID bulbs? I’m happy with the light they cast out, but disappointed with the color tone. They seem like they’re around 4,000-4,200K and to match the LED fogs they should be around 5,000-5,500K.

I just prefer a whiter light than OEM. I have no interest in messing with the actual projector and upgrading that with something like Morimoto.

Also has anyone used these tail lights yet? I don’t even see a brand on there. I just like that they’re cheaper than the Axial brand.

How would this done if I have a catch can? Would I just spray it in the clean return pcv line coming out from the catch can? Wouldn't spraying it in the throttle body just result in it being collected in the catch can and never making it to the valves?

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      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-

      OCI, not when but why?

      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.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      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.
