Finally got a set of these. Anyone have input? Good? Bad?

Those look like the same ones that I got.  Had/Have them on both of my trucks, my "late" 2015 and my current 2018.  When I put them on my 2015, I had to wash and blow out the dirt that was in them, after .  I had less than 100 miles on my 2018 when I installed them, and zero off-road miles/time.

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.

Removed those stupid looking flaps in front of the rear wheels. 7224fb1fb4e8c629285cadb9c28ebe03.jpg5a5ada432a42a436a42e0bcc93d7b0eb.jpgba438f927de999c8d3e27f99916b8cf6.jpge8f1267c9ae3b0a369d4f0c637215f3c.jpg

 

Anyone know if there is some sort of cap I can get to finish it off? Sort of like the other side of the wheel well?

So, yesterday afternoon/evening, I finally installed my illuminated bowtie.  After ordering it on 11 November 2019, and waiting for a little over 2 months, having it arrive at the stealership, having it get returned, reordering it, only to find out that they had one in supply stock this whole time. 

 

Before (original bow tie):

hmm, mine is a 2lt so I have the hid's on top with the led drl, but the turn signal is a standard bulb, do you think it would be hard to change the turn signal housing to the led housing?

***edit, I guess it's all 1 piece from what I am seeing, great, how much difference is there in the wiring?

***nevermind, I'm not paying the price they want for a housing just to have a lower led bar, I will just slap some led's in there and i'm good, lol

It’s not that simple. It’s a factory 25w hid from the factory. Swapping to an aftermarket led bulb would be a downgrade, plus a little tricky.  The LTZ lights come factory LED and have the led signal with the clear lense.

ya, I forgot bottom part was all part of the whole housing, I already changed the hid's to 45w just would be nice to have the lower led bar but  some led bulbs will work don't really feel like doing resistors so I might buy the wams programmer then I can change stuff as needed. I just bought the truck a couple months ago, baby steps had to get xmas out of the way before spending more money on this this thing

Keep us posted on what LED bulbs you put in your front signals. I’m looking to do the same thing. Dunno what a “wams” programmer is though...

WAMS is short for https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/

they do programming for these vehicle and more check out the website 

 

he’s talking about getting his bcm programmed  to use led turn signal so your don’t have to use the resistors. They make it like factory @GTPprix can help you if your interested

      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.
