Plastidipped the area between the side windows so it looks cleaner. Also dipped the Z71 and SIERRA emblems on the sides only and the chrome door molding. So now all that is black. Also removed the antenna completely. Haven't noticed any reception issues and I took the truck for a 2 hour drive tonight. Can't post pics right now for some reason but wish I could to show yall! Looks so much better.

EDIT: got a photobucket so now I can post this way434E86EB-883C-4E6F-B247-0E82C5AD4BBA_zps

Hauled this precious cargo home for the first time from the NICU after 40 days!   Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

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

Thanks man! I'm really liking the black/white/chrome theme I've got. I think the white diamond looks better with some black accents.

Here's the latest thing I've done to my black CC Silverado. Added amber LED clearance lights to the OEM mirrors. I know the photo are too dark, I will take some photos during the day/evening.

What did you use to hold the clearance lights in place? I used a black plastic sheet that I then plasti-dipped to match the grill along with some 3M automotive tape. It looks clean, but I'm thinking of using something sturdier

If you have done something to your 14 and would like to share,please post here. Please don't post the How to in this thread.

 

Have a little time to install the tail gate light bar, replaced the bed light bulbs with led and install footwell led light..

 

Bed light replaced with this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111217352865?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1381wt_1181

They are super bright..

Not too bad for the price.

Enjoy!

Really like those footwell LED's that you installed. I plan on installing some as well except I will have them wired to the dome light, can't be that hard right?

 

I have just one question though- is the white that those put off equivalent to the soft white of the dome lights? Thanks and nice truck!

I had to make brackets myself out of black plastic sheet too, I cut the diamond/honeycomb shape just a hair bigger than the opening on the grill to attach it with locktite 5 second super glue. looks very clean but it's not "bolted on" to anything. I've had them on since a week or two after bringing it home from the dealership, no issues yet, still strongly glued and no sign of wearing off.

      Vehicle Payments

      By KARNUT · Posted

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      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.
