Any pics ???


I didn’t take any during the install of the sub. It’s under the console so completely hidden now.

Did get the KO2s mounted yesterday and I think they look great.

Did you just mount it to the plastic attached to the grille? Any issues with the shutters?

Yes, had it attached with stainless steel washers too and absolutely ZERO issues with the shutters, approx an inch before touching the shutters. I thought it was going to be easy to decide where to install the switch but behind the plastic pc under the steering wheel that’s easily removed, there’s a hard plastic area that you can’t or shouldn’t drill through so I made it easy. I may have the switch moved somewhere else but for now, it’s fine.
I didn’t install this myself, had it installed at a car audio store, it’s all cheap to do. Light bar was only $110 plus install which was $150.

There will be some additional drilling into the supplied braces, depending on where you want the light beam to hit, I like mine aiming on the road about 50’ out, excellent light for the price

I really like that setup. I wonder if the spacing in the bottom of the GMC grill is the same as the Silverado. Would you mind measuring the width when you get a chance? My silverado grill is 1 inch.

No worries but the Chevy (if my memory serves me correct) May have a larger gap but I’ll check tomorrow and post a pic

had the cooling system flushed with the dealer machine and had the brake system flushed, nice clean fluid now, was going to have them do the recall for the brake module still no fix yet, they said it should happen in the next 2 weeks they have vehicles they can't sell until they get the software fix.

Sorry, crazy day today, just got home. It looks to be about 1.25” but the gap is larger behind the grill, it’s actually laying on the bottom pc of plastic. Hope this works for you.

did you enlarge the area where the MAF sensor goes? if so how much larger is the diameter of the maf location vs stock?

I haven't measured the tube width but I installed a cold air inductions inc CAI kit #512-0102-B

the Truck also has a Carven catback system, when I bought the Carven was already on it I believe the flapper has been deleted if it had one, this thing really needs a tune I am going to order the tune tomorrow I just have to call blackbear because I bought a used autocal and there seems to be some confusion about what numbers they need i just have to clarify i'm going to order a tune for this truck and my 6.2l yukon which has a pretty similar setup.

    • I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

    • What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.
    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.    
    • Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
